  • Saipan is undoubtedly beautiful. But more often than not, life teaches you that it’s the most beautiful things that are usually the most deadly. In today’s video, Ashley and Mark set out to confirm this old adage by visiting 5 of Saipan’s most dangerous places.

    I lived on Saipan in the early 60s when my dad was High Commissioner. No buildings, highways, cars or tourists. Pristine beaches with nobody on them. The only way to get to the Grotto was to lower yourself by rope. No steps. We used to go out to Marpi point at night and hunt coconut crabs. If you hiked around in the boonies there was still a lot of stuff left from World War II. Guns, ammo, airplanes. Not sure what it's called now but Micro Beach had Japanese pill boxes scattered around and there was an American tank out in the water that never made it to shore during the invasion. I had a blast out there. I graduated high school at Admiral Hopwood High School.

      Charles Goding I visited in the mid 70’s and I loved it. Garapan had nothing but a couple of shops and the place closed at sunset. The beaches were deserted and lots of war relics still in sight. The place looks unrecognizable now.

    Awesome Video. Ive spent about 9 months volunteering in Saipan and have seen/experienced many of these same dangerous spots. One more dangerous thing on Saipan is how slippery the roads get after it rains. I have seen several Mustangs/Camero's that have ended up in the ditch/forest due to coral dust on the roads.

    I can vouch for the grotto being dangerous in certain conditions. I was leaving and about to grab the rope and “almost to safety” when a wave knocked me off to the side where the water pools. My leg went in between two rocks and got stuck. Luckily the wave was powerful and not leaving me behind and pulled my leg out (and felt like it was going to break it in the process). It was terrifying. My friends got me out, but then they got swept in and for awhile there I was sure I was going to watch them die. I learned real quick to respect the ocean and what it’s telling me.

    • @WE670
      @WE670  6 років тому +1

      Most of the stories we've heard while filming this video were similar to this. The danger occurs the second you take your eyes off the water because it's so unpredictable, even if it looks calm.

    Im always very cautious whenever I drive on the Quarter Master road! I would say that road and the four- way crossroad in front of Cha Cafe are the two dangerous roads for me.

    Saipan and the Mariana islands in general would benefit so much from public transport, walkable infrastructure and density. Especially when you consider how small these islands are and that American suburban style housing is not sustainable on tiny islands in the middle of the ocean.

    Hiked to Forbidden Island 27 years ago. Still remember like it was yesterday losing my fellow hikers in the 6 ft. tall thick jungle reeds on the climb back & feeling like each step would be my last because I couldn't see any path. How I made it back to the group & car was a miracle. Followed the sound of faint voices in front of me & prayed I wouldn't step off the cliff. Some places are better left alone & this is one of them.

      @Sandra P....in early 1990s while part of the Police SWAT Team, during our weekly weekend trainings, we hiked down to Forbidden Island. About 3/4 of the team, are local born and raised in the CNMI and it was our first time to hike down. Though our hike was mostly training, we carried backpacks filled with large rocks the size of 5 gallons water containers, with each team members taking turns. Upon reaching the top, we unloaded our backpacks, and prep for our long March out towards the Santa Soledad church, although it was a tiring day, nonetheless the experience was something to remember for a lifetime.

    It’s really good to see a fellow islander! I used to always swim at Aquarius beach when I was 2-6 years old. Now I don’t really visit it anymore but i visit it more now! My mother works by showing people on Saipan beautiful and really nice spots and she usually brings me to all her work days and she goes to managaha a lot! I remember when I visited the grotto at 5 years old I couldn’t go down there but it was really beautiful! I also visit suicide cliff, and ladder beach! I also remember a beach but I didn’t really remember the name I think it was called tank beach and the sand is red because of all the soldiers who died. Their blood stained the sand and now it’s red! I’m not sure if it’s still red but I used to live in Tinian when I was a newborn all the way to when it was almost my first birthday. I almost fell off bird island my accident because some rude person pushed me and just walked away and didn’t help me but luckily my parents were there and saved me before I could fall off. My mom came to Saipan at 2015 and my dad came to Saipan at 1997

    Stayed with my cousins for a month on Capitol Hill back in '71. My cousin Joey Dennis showed us a place they called 'bomb fort.' Up in the boonies we found buried caches of used weapons and unused weapons , etc. of all shapes and sizes. Back then the airport was a quanset hut I think. 1 Hotel, the Royal Taga.Hamiltons Rib House. Joe Tens. The lumpia shack on Cap. Hill . Hope its as gorgeous as it was.

    • @sylvanrangamar874
      @sylvanrangamar874 4 роки тому

      Alot has changed, Royal Taga has been renamed World Resort. The only part of the building which was once Royal Taga still stands up til now, which is on the southern part of what is now World Resort.
      Hamilton's in Gualo Rai, if this is the same Hamiltons your referring to, also still standing which a bar and then closed its doors back in late 1990s. I believe the Lumpia store your referring to is now called Esco's Bakery, but then I could be wrong.

    My first hike at bird island. It was a school functioned hike and my friends and I set up a small beach blanket at one of the caves. And honestly I will not lie or fagaga but we almost didn’t return back with our school faculty because we couldn’t find our way back up the trail that we came down. It felt as if we were trapped in a loop and couldn’t find our exit out. Felt like the spirits in the cave were trying to trap us and not let us leave. It was super scary and probably my last time to hike there 😂

    Forbidden island is fun. The only place you can swim is when you go to the right side there will be a area that’s not rough and it actually calm. The place you can swim is deep the deepest point in the area you can swim is about 7 meters.

    We have a team ready to come from New York August 18 through September 1st. BUT, we need a leader who has a strong construction background. Could you help us find somebody there in Saipan, familiar with roofs in Saipan there, to lead us?

    #ThisVideoIsHelpful....You left out some places. But maybe part two or something. You forgot to mention Ezbay, Coral ocean point, ladder beach and Marine beach. My favorite and most dangerous place has to go to... Ezbay has 3 jumping platforms with the 3rd being the highest from the top of the platform down to the top the water surface., In my experience I would say 70 feet drop into the water is deep blue, open reef, tiger in rare occasion. Legends say the place use to be a dock site. The tends to get rough if jumpers continue to shout. The is a cave under the second cliff which half of it is in the water. If you're lucky the medal ladder would still be there located at the first cliff.
