They weigh you and your bag, you squeeze into a plane with a handful of seats, and 15 minutes of low flying along Saipan's south coast later you land on Tinian. The island is far quieter than Saipan, with barely any traffic. The usual stops are the Blow Hole, where surf shoots up through the rock; the House of Taga with its giant ancient Chamorro latte stones; and Taga Beach, where people jump off the rocks into the water. The April 2026 typhoon made landfall on northern Tinian and hit it hard, so confirm tours and lodging are running before you book.
