Getting There

-
Public Transport
If starting from a location accessible by Guam Regional Transit Authority (GRTA) bus, take a bus towards Hågatña. From Hågatña, transfer to a route that heads towards Santa Rita. Alight near the intersection of Route 4 and Route 17 in Santa Rita. From there, it is approximately 1.5 miles to an unmarked road, followed by 0.5 miles to the Blue Hole; however, note that the Blue Hole is only accessible via boat, so this route will only get you to the general area. Bus fares are around $2 for a single ride. Due to the distance and limited access to the actual dive site via public transport, this is not a recommended approach.
-
Taxi
Taxis are available in Guam, but can be relatively expensive. From Guam International Airport (GUM) to Santa Rita-Sumai, a taxi may cost between $130-$170 and take approximately 29 minutes. From Tumon to Santa Rita-Sumai, expect to pay around $160-$200. Once in Santa Rita-Sumai, you would still need to arrange for boat transportation to the Blue Hole. Taxis have regulated meters with a standard flag rate of $2.40, $4.00 for the first mile, and $0.80 every ¼ mile thereafter.
