Ritidian Point: Guam's Northern Sanctuary

Getting There

• Driving

  From central Guam, head north on Route 1. Exit onto Route 3 towards Yigo. Follow Route 3 until you reach Potts Junction, then turn onto Route 3A. Continue for 4.5 miles, then bear left at the Guam National Wildlife Refuge sign and drive downhill for 1.5 miles to the refuge gate. Parking is available on-site and is free. Be aware that the road (Route 3A) has potholes, so drive carefully.

• Public Transport

  From Yigo, take a bus towards Dededo on Route 1. Get off at the bus stop closest to Spur Road. Walk approximately 1 mile down Spur Road to reach the entrance of the wildlife refuge. Check the bus schedule in advance, as service may be limited, especially on weekends. Bus fares are typically around $1 per ride. Alternatively, from the Dededo bus terminal, transfer to the GVB Route 5, which goes to Yigo. From Yigo, you will need to take a taxi or rideshare service to reach Ritidian Point, as public buses do not directly serve this area. Expect to pay around $15-$20 for a taxi ride from Yigo to the beach.

• Taxi/Ride-share

  From Dededo, a taxi or ride-share to Ritidian Point will cost approximately $110-$140 and take about 23 minutes. Provide the driver with the address: Spur Road, 3A, Yigo, 96929, Guam. Expect higher fares during peak hours. There are no taxi stands at Ritidian Point, so arrange for a return trip in advance.
