One rental car, one day — you can cover all of Guam's southern highlights. Just plan your restroom stops!
Guam South Tour Route Overview
Starting from Tumon Bay, the south tour loops clockwise through 7–8 stops. With a rental car and 5 family members, we found it more cost-effective than a group tour.
Paseo Park → Spanish Plaza
Fish Eye Marine Park (exterior)
Emerald Valley
Setti Bay Lookout
Fort Soledada
Merizo Pier
Inarajan Natural Pool
Paseo Park & Spanish Plaza
The closest southern attraction to Tumon Bay. Snap photos at the Statue of Liberty replica, then relax by the sea. There's an outdoor playground nearby — great for young kids.
Fish Eye Marine Park
We skipped the entrance fee and only viewed the exterior. The distinctive ocean tower structure itself makes a great photo backdrop.
Emerald Valley
Stunning emerald-colored pools with tropical fish swimming below. Visit in the early morning to avoid crowds. The path is narrow and slippery, so wear sturdy shoes.
Important: No restrooms at Emerald Valley or Setti Bay Lookout. Handle bathroom needs before arriving.
Setti Bay Lookout & Fort Soledada
Climb the steps to a wild panoramic view of mountains and ocean. Fort Soledada is the only remaining fort in Guam, with cannons believed to have been used historically.
Merizo Pier & Inarajan Natural Pool
Merizo Pier is a quiet fishing village with local charm. The Inarajan Natural Pool is a lava rock basin filled with ocean water — shallow enough for young children to play safely.
Tips for Families with Kids
No restrooms at Emerald Valley or Setti Bay — plan ahead
Sunglasses and sun hat are essential
Start early morning for fewer crowds
Total trip time: approx. 5–6 hours
