Saipan
Saipan is the largest of the Northern Mariana Islands and the capital. About 12.5 miles long and 5.5 miles wide, Saipan is the principal island and major commercial center of the archipelago. Formed by a rising coral reef, this tropical paradise offers beautiful white sand beaches with crystal clear water and ocean-riding, fresh, clean air. Visitors to Saipan will find a well-balanced mixture of beautiful nature with modern amenities, nightlife, and shopping venues.
With a large barrier reef and the lagoon inside, Saipan's waters are breathtakingly beautiful. Managaha island sits just within the reef off of Saipan's western coast and is a popular day trip.

Tinian
Tinian is where we (Star Marianas Air) call home and is the closest island to the capital of Saipan, situated about 5 miles southwest and easily accessible by air (10 min.). Tinian features unique historical sites; from prehistoric stone monoliths called Taga Stones to the very runways and loading docks that put atom bombs aboard the Enola Gay to stop WWII.
