About this activity

Did you see the latest news on Amelia Earhart! Someone found a new photograph that may indicate what tour guides here on Saipan (namely, me) have been saying: that she survived her 1937 plane crash/disappearance and was actually imprisoned and died on Saipan! As I had hoped and predicted, the mainstream media is now publishing headlines to that effect! In addition to the full tour of Saipan, I'll focus a little extra time and energy to painting a picture of the Amelia experience on the island!

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE:

"Once upon a time, there was a Jamaican civil engineer living in New York who hated his job,

followed his passion, started a sideline business publishing his own books, quit his job, escaped the rat race, ran off to a tropical island in the Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day....

and live a nomadpreneur's dream life."

Discover Saipan

7 hours

On this private, personalized, customized tour, you will will practically ALL of Saipan! You'll see history, culture, scenic beauty and much much more! You'll be taken to parts of Saipan other tourists never get to see. You'll leave with a comprehensive understanding of the island's history and culture as well as photos and memories to last a lifetime! Unique to this tour are a few sites that figure into the untold story of Amelia Earhart, the famed US pilot who was presumed lost at sea on July 2, 1937. Most people aren't aware that there is another side to the story that involves her detention on the island of Saipan by the Japanese military which controlled the island at that time!
