Where are the Mariana Islands on the map? Tours and holidays in the Mariana Islands (Guam, Saipan): hotels, last minute tours, reviews, excursions
The Northern Mariana Islands, which actually and legally belong to the territory of the United States of America (like the entire Mariana Archipelago), are presented here as a separate destination. This was not done by chance: the very nature of the holiday, and many of the nuances of staying here are completely different than in other American beach resorts. For a tourist, the Northern Mariana Islands are untouched and very beautiful tropical nature, a bunch of historical places associated with the Battle of the Pacific during World War II, fantastic coral reefs, sea fishing with rich and varied catches, golf, surfing, diving, snorkeling and good conditions for beach holiday.
