De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

I took this tour a couple of days after taking Walt's tour of Saipan. The island has a lot of WWI history behind it, but there is also a lot of culture that Walt exposed me too, including an abandoned but standing Shinto shrine. Access to the island is by a 10 minute small plane that seats only 5 passengers that takes off from Saipan. The scene from above is amazing, but even more so on the ground. Our tour took place the day after a typhoon so some of the roads were hard to navigate, but Walt did a fantastic time getting us around the island. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is thinking of visiting the area. As I mentioned in my Saipan review, Walt is very accommodating as a tour guide. He is also very knowledgeable about the area and the local customs. Thanks again Walt!

I am normally an independent traveler who does not feel a need or desire to hire guides. However, I made a rare exception for my day tour of Tinian, hiring Mr. Walt Goodridge to take me around. Five years ago, when I first considered a visit to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, I had bought Walt's book, "There's Something about Saipan". I enjoyed the book, and then I noticed Walt was also mentioned extensively in another book I bought, "The Not-Quite States of America". So it would seem he is something of a local celebrity and has a fascinating personal story: An Ivy-League educated native of Jamaica who gave up a good engineering career in New York City to relocate to Saipan. And then I happened upon his website and saw that he offered tours. I figured I had to meet this guy and I bet he could give a pretty good tour. I also figured that most likely in my entire life I would spend at most one day on Tinian so I wanted to make sure I got the most out of it, and did not miss anything important.
Anyway, Walt picked me up at my hotel (the Saipan Hyatt) and then we went to the Saipan Airport. The first great part of the daylong adventure to Tinian was simply getting there - a 15-minute flight on a 5-passenger 1974 Piper Cherokee Six with a 300HP Continental TIO540. The views of Tinian from the plane provide a great "preview" of what is to come.
After arriving in Tinian, we jumped into a rental car (Walt arranged it) and we set out on our Tinian tour. The majority of a tour of Tinian will, appropriately, be focused on sites relevant to World War II. There are a number of World War II era buildings, most of them originally Japanese-built and subsequently repurposed by American forces. They are in varying states of decay, but mostly structurally sound so you can walk into and onto them. The fact that they are left to decay naturally, as opposed to being "restored", is, in my opinion, neat.
Perhaps the highlight of the trip is viewing and driving on the actual runway used by the Enola Gay when it left on its mission to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Two other sites of high significance are the pits used to load the atomic bombs ("Little Boy" and "Fat Man") onto the Enola Gay and Bockscar respectively.
Other worthy sites around the island include various bomb shelters, Shinto shrines, abandoned artillery and vehicles, Chulu Beach, a currently operational Voice of America transmission facility, life-size replicas of "Little Boy" and "Fat Man", the "House of Taga" (think of it as a tropical Pacific Stonehenge). I also found a drive past the recently-abandoned Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino to be interestingly eerie. A brief drive through San Jose, the one and only village on Tinian, where the vast majority of the island's population lives, is interesting.
Walt obviously knows his history and is a wealth of information. If he doesn't know something, he'll acknowledge as such and make a note to look into it and get back to you. Perhaps more importantly, however, I enjoyed talking to Walt over the course of the day about his own story and about what life is like in Saipan. He's an "open book", willing to share much about himself, and there are no "off-limits" questions.
We concluded our tour of Tinian and made the short flight back to Saipan. After returning to Saipan, Walt offered to take me to one or two sites in Saipan to fill up the remainder of the day, but my jet lag was kicking in and I needed some rest so we called it a day. But it is a day I will never soon forget.
I absolutely recommend engaging Walt for a tour of Tinian. Reach out to him directly, though, no need to book through some third-party booking site.

Thanks for taking the time write such a great review! It was a pleasure getting to know you as well. Even though you ultimately did your own impressive tour of Saipan the day after our Tinian tour, you still have a "jet lag time credit" on file! I'll share a few really-off-the-beaten-path sites on this off-the-beaten-path destination anytime you make it back here!

This is a HUGE waste of money! I will show you the same for $50 per person (minus airfare to and from Tinian). Call 670-285-5057. Ask for Fred.

Walt did a great job of showing me things of interest. He also had great knowledge of the history, but was also not afraid to admit he didn't know and rather than make an answer up, he would research it and find me the answer. Walt also documented the tour well and gave me several options to pick from.
