GUAM JUNGLE RIVER CRUISE

The Guam Jungle River Cruise begins in Inarajan where you board a boat going upstream the Talofofo River and into the Red or Ugum River. Participants are treated to a jungle tour via the river route where the tour guide describes the rich wildlife of plants and animals that can be found in the jungles and rivers of Guam. A brief story is also told about how the Japanese soldier Shoichi Yokoi was able to survive for 28 years after WWII in Guam's jungles by trapping and feeding on animals, plants, fruits and fishes. The tour ends with a short hike thru a latte stone field into a local hut where the guide demonstrates how primitive Chamorros built fire from sticks and a local crafts demo on weaving of baskets, bags, fans and hats using coconut palm leaves. The whole tour takes one and a half hours for a local rate of $25.
