Guam National Wildlife Refuge is located on the island of Guam, an
unincorporated U.S. Territory. Guam is the largest and southernmost island in
the Mariana Archipelago, situated in the western Pacific Ocean, approximately
3,800 miles west of Honolulu and 1,500 miles south of Tokyo.

While the Refuge is comprised of three units, only the Ritidian Unit open to
the public. The Ritidian Unit, which encompasses an area known to the native
Chamorro (CHamoru) people as _Puntan Litekyan_ , is located on the northern
tip of Guam and encompasses approximately 1,217 acres, including 385
terrestrial acres and 832 acres of submerged areas offshore.

The Ritidian Unit was established in 1993 in response to the 1984 listing of
six species as endangered. It was later designated as critical habitat in 2004
for three of these species: the _fanihi_ (Mariana fruit bat), the _sihek_
(Guam kingfisher), and the _å ga_ (Mariana crow). The Refuge is open Wednesday
through Sunday from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, except most federal holidays and
during times in which the National Weather Service has issued an advisory.
Please check the National Weather Service's website here to determine if the
refuge will be closed due to life-threatening rip currents, hazardous surf
conditions, typhoons, etc. Once all advisories have been lifted, the Ritidian
Unit will resume normal operations.
