It Takes at Least 30,000 to Play Well in Saipan – Can You Afford It?
Hello everyone, today let's take a look at how much money you need to play well in Saipan. Saipan is a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean, which has become a popular destination for Chinese tourists in recent years. Today we won't talk about budget travel, let's talk about playing well.
Each trip's main expenses are usually flights and accommodation. Round-trip flights from Beijing to Saipan cost approximately 5000-8300 yuan. Next, let's talk about accommodation. Saipan tourism is usually seven days, so we need to book accommodation for 5-6 nights in Saipan, and the cost of staying in a good hotel with a sea view is about 1300 yuan per night, which is 7800 yuan for 6 nights.
To play well in Saipan, there are various classic projects to choose from, such as skydiving, paragliding, ATV off-road, and diving. Currently, the cost of skydiving in Saipan is 2100 yuan, self-driving paragliding is 1200 yuan, blue hole diving is 1500 yuan, and ATV off-road is 300 yuan. There are also other options like a trip to Coconut Island, paragliding, and speedboat rides, which cost around 1000 yuan.
In addition, if you want to explore Saipan, it's highly recommended to rent a car, as Saipan is quite large. The daily rental cost of a car is 300 yuan. We'll rent a car for 3 days, which will cost 900 yuan. Finally, for overseas travel, we also need to prepare power adapters, phone cards, and Wi-Fi, costing 68 yuan respectively, and 150 yuan for phone cards.
Last but not least is food and drink. Saipan's consumption is relatively high, especially in the food and drink area. For 7 days, we should prepare 800-1500 yuan. Let's calculate the total cost: 24818 yuan.
In addition, when playing, we also need to consider miscellaneous expenses such as tips for skydiving (the cost of filming videos), other unique activities, car refueling costs, and photo albums. Underwater walking and shopping in duty-free shops will also add to the expenses, which is approximately 5000 yuan.
Travel equipment
Tropical island travel requires bringing many things, especially for women. For example, various dresses, swimwear, strapless tops, shorts, sunglasses, sun hats, sunscreen, and umbrellas. The weather in Saipan is hot, and many guesthouses and hotels have mosquitoes, so it's recommended to bring insect repellent.
Equipment for playing in the sea, besides swimwear, we also need to bring waterproof GoPro, waterproof phone bags, flip-flops, sandals, towels, and for photographers, we can bring cameras, selfie sticks, tripods, and power banks.
Regarding cash, it's basically possible to pay with mobile phones when eating in Saipan, and some entertainment projects can also be booked online, so you don't need to exchange too much US dollars. If you do exchange, it's recommended to exchange it in advance in China. The exchange rate at Saipan Airport is not favorable.
Saipan coconut is 2 US dollars per piece. If a couple is traveling, it's recommended to buy one and drink it on the spot. Then, split the coconut open on the spot to eat the coconut meat inside. Coconut ice cream costs 5 US dollars per piece. Today, I just calculated the costs. Regarding Saipan attractions, you can search for them on the Dongge Zhi Travel WeChat account and the Zhihu account.
