Forbidden Island Review

The island is just southeast of Saipan. This small island is an outlying island. There is a path to go up when the tide is low. When the tide is high, it will be completely separated from Saipan. But generally no one will go up.

Banbiao Island is a small island on Saipan Island. When the tide is low, you can go to the island. If the tide is high, you can't pass it. This small island was previously said to be a place where locals reported sacrifices at a specific time.

Interruption Island is a peninsula of Saipan Island, which can be hiked and snorkeled. It is said that in the past, the local natives begged for rain to kill people here, so it is called Banned Island. To get to the island, you need to walk for 30 minutes, and many steep slopes are very rugged. It's a natural swimming pool. It's not too big or deep, but nobody disturbs it. It's quiet. People who are not good at swimming can also freely fly here, take some food to feed the fish, and swim with the fish.

The scenery of Banned Island is very beautiful, and it's a bit too grieving to rank 8th in Saipan. The last section of the road to the forbidden island (about 2 kilometers) is a dirt road, very narrow, with dense shrubs on both sides. It's difficult to miss a bus, but it's not as rough as it is to break through the Chaoshan Mountains. The entrance to the last leg of the walk was very hidden (the picture with the billboard) and two or three cars of the donkey pal in front of them would have gone by if they hadn't stopped by the roadside. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter if it's over. It's only 100 metres ahead. At the end of the road is a viewing platform overlooking the forbidden island. The trail is very difficult to walk and falls so much that many places are almost covered by shrubs and weeds. The scenery is very good, but unfortunately there is no wading equipment and the day is getting late, and there is no real landing near. This is also the only place in Saipan where I met several Western tourists but did not meet Chinese and Korean tourists.

It is worth a visit. The so-called dirt road is not a problem at all. I have no pressure on the Nissan two drives, but it is a bit pothole. Really, like the brother of the blue Toyota fj in Tuli, I walked on the altar. I took my wife and children and could only take a few pictures on the observation deck. I must also go on the one person.

Located at the eastern corner of the southeastern Gulf of Saipan, Banduan Island is connected with Saipan Island at ebb tide, and the sea water is separated at high tide. The waters separated by coral reefs near the coast are very clear. Looking from the cliffs, different blue-green colours are shown with the sunshine, which makes people salivate. In addition to a viewing platform, there is also an entrance to the hiking trail down to the beach of the forbidden island at a distance of 100 meters. It takes more than 70 minutes to walk up and down, with a height difference of nearly 200 meters. Rainforest road and sandstone road account for half of the total time. We need to be careful. When we go down to the beach, we mix gravel and coral reef on the shore, the water we see is clear but there is no change of color on the cliff. In spite of this, I am still satisfied, but in the hot sunshine near noon, sweaty clothes, really dehydrated.

We visited this place on the afternoon of our first day in Saipan. The road to the closed island is unrepaired, so be prepared for bumps. The entrance to the trail is not obvious. We found it was still because several cars were parked around. It takes about an hour and a half to walk and it’s still quite tough! You need to make sure you have good quality shoes, hats and lots of water. I wasn’t prepared for this tough hike and I was wearing slippers...but it was definitely worth the hard work. I just wish this place would remain pristine forever!
