Saipan Day 6 Managaha Island

S.A.I.P.A.N DAY 6

Our last day in Saipan. We thought about doing a dive in Lau Lau after we heard that you can meet turtles there 💓. But when we tried to book yesterday, we found out for the first time that you can't board a plane for at least 12 hours after the last dive. The tiny bubbles in our body from the oxygen tank may expand due to the reduction in pressure with altitude and would cause intense pain💦. So Managaha Island it is.

We booked our trip for parasailing+round trip to Managaha (includes snorkeling equipment). They let us do the paragliding while driving us to the island. It was XW's first experience and it was a thrilling ride especially for him. I remember my first one in Sabah includes submerging the passengers into the sea for a brief moment before speeding up and flying us up into the sky again. Here they only submerged our feet before pulling us up again. Yuan lai Sabah's marine sports were overall more daring/exciting/cincai.

They dropped us at the pier, reaffirmed the pick up time for the return trip and left.

So this is where all the people were. It's similar to Redang Marine Island. There're shops and restaurants. And the tourists normally stay at the main island and come here for a day trip.

There's two snorkeling spots by the beach. Not much fishes. The swimming hole at Forbidden Island had more. No corals too though the water is clear. Redang Marine Island definitely had a lot more colorful pretty fishes.

We snorkeled, had an ice-cream & fries break, had our second snorkeling session and it's time to leave.

Taxis to airports can be asked from the hotel.

Look what I bought at the airport. Anna Sui perfume.

First ever perfume I bought for myself!

Goodbye Saipan, the first US area I ever visited.
