Interesting structure, unique geological experience. The water is beautiful in here, so much better with fewer people. Some danger exists, better to go with local or guide.

Beautiful place to see. There are a few steps to get down to this lush, deep blue, gulley. It's pretty and a good photo spot. I think it is more about the snorkeling and diving. Top rated dive spot in Saipan and world renown. But, DO NOT GO ALONE. Be safe and hire a guide, as the entry, exit, surge, and currents are all tricky and best done with someone who knows what they're doing. Totally worth every penny to get in the water there!
