3 Amazing Places to Visit on Rota | Ecotourism in the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) 

It's absolutely amazing! Times have definitely changed haha.

Thank you! 🙏🏽

@@wanderstheworld I agree! It’s so beautiful on Rota! ☺️

They are & love it here! 😍 Love & miss y’all too!

Late response but Santos/Atalig/Songao. (:

We've met a couple who retired in Rota from the mainland and LOVE IT! Have you been to Rota before? It's a very slow-paced lifestyle and all your food & clothing shopping will be mom & pop stores (unless you cargo from Guam or Saipan). If you're looking for an island that's more mainland, that would likely be Guam. I'd take a look at healthcare needs and if anything absolutely essential is offered on Rota (or Guam, Tinian, or Saipan). Also is there anything specific that's making you want to move to Rota? If so, I'd be able to give more insight! -Heaven

@@kaikytravels Thanks very much for your response. We will be wanting to move permanently to a tropical location sometime in the future, hopefully somewhere in the South Pacific. The main reason for wanting to move to Rota, or to any place like it, is because of the very laid-back lifestyle and quiet atmosphere that you described. I have been looking for places that have no traffic lights, and I only just discovered Rota about one week ago, and I was astonished to discover that it is a US Territory. I feel like a fool for having only just now discovered it!!! I took a trip to Molokai, Hawaii about five years ago to scout it out as a possible future destination. I loved it. I am assuming that the lifestyle on Rota is somewhat similar to Molokai, which is an island with very little tourism and very quiet, no real nightlife. I think I might enjoy Rota more because, from what I've seen, it seems to have more lush green landscape, which I love. Add to it turquoise waters and white sand and snorkeling, and it sounds like the place for me. We currently live in Oregon on the mainland, and our current lifestyle is already very minimalist and simple, so much so that moving to Rota would probably increase our activity. Best Regards, Eric

@@kaikytravels Oh, I forgot to ask: Where would you say is the best place to stay in Rota? Do you know if there are any long-term rentals available? Perhaps for at least a month or maybe even longer? And is there a place to rent a car on the island? Thanks... Eric

Hi Eric!@@dogperday I'm so sorry I missed your response! Rota may definitely be your place. (: For long-term rentals, I actually suggest going for a hotel for the first week (Coral Garden Hotel or Valentino Hotel) and then talking to locals. That way you can see the area and whether you'd prefer staying in the Village or Sinapalo, which are opposite sides of the island. If you'd also like a direct contact, my auntie can help you. If you message me on Instagram @kaiky.travels I can send you the info! Also for car rentals, here's a great website: diverota.com/rentalcars.htm I know NAAI car rentals offers monthly rentals. You may also want to rent a car short-term, then talk to locals though after arriving to see if anyone is selling a used car. It may be more affordable that way. I also can send Facebook group recommendations if you prefer to ask locals before arriving. (: I hope this helps and that you're still interested in going to Rota! We can't wait to go back!

Safe travels! (:

It looks so beautiful and maybe one day I will like to visit Rota. I am from Saipan and I've never been to Rota.

Oh my gosh! So funny that it was unplanned but he really wanted to use the microphone too😂 and Grenada’s beaches look gorgeous!!

Check out Okgok Waterfalls! I’d also recommend reaching out to the Fish & Wildlife Office. If they’re not in charge of conserving that area, they’ll point you in the right direction. When we were going to hike to another area on Rota, they checked the terrain & let us know when it was safe/unsafe. I also know based on where you’re going, a local would be happy to be help. I’m also not sure if the hike to the waterfall crosses into private land, so reaching out to the govt. department will be your best bet to know how to get there, unless you know a local. Hope that helps!

Thank you!! 🥰

Yes! See you soon! ❤️
