Saipan Day 7 - Managaha Island and Parasailing

Day 7 - January 4
For our second last day, we booked a day trip to Managaha, a small island off the west coast of Saipan where the beaches are pristine. After taking a banana boat over, we walked around the island in about 20 minutes. We found some unique drift wood on the scarcely populated side of the island and took some pictures. We also did some more snorkelling here. The currents were quite strong so we didn't stray far from the shore. Part of our day tour included a boat snorkelling trip. It was so amazing to see the pyramids of coral built up from 30ft below the surface to the top. It gave us a different perspective from the offshore snorkelling we had become accustomed to. The rest of the afternoon we spent reading on the beach, sunning, and tossing a frisbee in the water.

The beach had yellow umbrellas. I loved the contrast!

The highlight of the day was when we parasailed back to Saipan. JM was really scared, but I was pumped. They loaded us together in the harness and we jumped off the back of the boat and into the air. It was a beautiful view!
