Community-based tourism is an optimal way to truly immerse yourself in the culture of a destination. Your two-hour adventure brings you to a family home, where you'll be welcomed by friendly residents. Here, you will have the opportunity to fully experience the way of life and the artistic heritage of the Saipanese people.
Sample some coconut juice. This nut is also used for handicrafts; learn how to create a beautiful rose from coconut leaves. You'll also learn the process of making pure coconut oil, with many therapeutic benefits for the hair and skin.
Finally, try your hand at the unique Mariana Island tradition of using banana leaves to make stamps and colorful paintings.
After this artistic adventure, bid goodbye to your new friends and leave with a lovely souvenir of your day.
