The Northern Marianas include of 14 tropical islands
stretching across 400 miles, adjacent to the famed Marianas trench with the world's greatest known ocean depth
of nearly 36,000 feet.
Saipan, the most populated island in the group and a popular resort destination, is endowed with blue lagoons,
white sand beaches and verdant hills. The clear waters of the island and its coral reefs are home to more than
a thousand colorful and exotic species of marine life.
Rota is relatively undeveloped and offers a chance to experience the natural beauty of the Marianas. The dense
jungle, prolific wildlife and solitary stretches of white sand beaches remain largely undisturbed.
Lush, living reefs with hundreds of species of tropical fish, coral, sponges and crustaceans can be seen in crystal
clear waters. Fascinating wrecks from World War II -- airplanes, submarines, tanks, ships -- can be seen in this
virgin diving territory. |
