Guide to Saipan
The northern islands of the CNMI are mainly populated by Caroline Islanders, a Polynesian group with origins in Kiribati, while the southern islands are populated by Chamorros. Each year, a number of festivals celebrate Chamorro and Carolinian cultural traditions with song, dance, local crafts and food. Sample local delicacies like the apigigi, a local dessert made with coconut and wrapped in banana leaves, at the weekly Garapan Street Market. This lively market in downtown Saipan is also famous for its local arts and crafts.
The islands’ dry season is from December to June and the rainy season from July to October. The typhoon, or hurricane, season lasts several months and starts in late August to early September. On the three main islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota, visitors revel in the spectacular scenery ranging from colourful underwater reef life to lush, bird-filled tropical jungles. There are many shipwrecks and tanks on the seabed off the coast of the islands that are testament to the fierce battles that took place in the area during WW2. These offer exciting diving opportunities.
