Diving
This small island nation covers over a million miles of Pacific Ocean! Yap, Chuuk and Pohnpei have some of the best preserved coral reefs on the planet.
Liberation Day
On September 11, Micronesia and especially Kosrae literally explodes in a flurry of Mardi-Gras style parades with floats, dances, singing, performances and sporting events. Not to be missed.
Wreck Diving
With an armada of vessels lying beneath the sea from the Japanese Fourth Imperial Fleet, Micronesia can very well be the Wreck Diving capital of the world.
Yap Day
It is only recently that international travellers are allowed to participate in Yap Day. During the first weekend of March, the locals gather and perform (literally) once-in-a-lifetime dances. Be prepared for fun, fervour and gaiety!

Diving & Snorkeling
To the diving enthusiast, Chuuk offers unquestionably the finest wreck diving experience available. It is a rare opportunity to find so many ship wrecks so close together and so completely intact. Chuuk also grows better with time and exploration. With each year of submersion the wrecks become more gilded in a lacework of brilliantly coloured soft coral, sponges, anemones and sea fans. This dense marine life, in turn, attracts great schools of jacks, tuna, grouper and other creatures of the deep.
