Pohnpei has some of the most diverse scenery among the islands of Micronesia.
Due to the high rainfall, you can find rushing rivers, tranquil fresh water pools, and even spectacular waterfalls.

Chuuk
Moen Island, in Chuuk, is the largest community in the Federated States of Micronesia.
The main island of Weno (formerly Moen) is the capital and commercial centre of Chuuk.
Chuuk, with its vast, shallow, beautiful lagoon is a mecca for wreck divers. A major shipwreck site from WWII, Truk Lagoon is unquestionably the world's best shipwreck diving destination.
With so many wrecks so close together, Chuuk is a diver's paradise.

fully carpeted staterooms with private air conditioning controls, windows or large
portholes and private toilet, shower and sink.

The hotel's low two story design of 54 modern, spacious, air conditioned rooms blends
perfectly with the island's tropical and serene atmosphere.
Truk Lagoon:
On February 17th and 18th 1944, the U.S. navy launched a devastating air attack on the
Japanese Imperial Fleet, situated inside the sheltered waters of Truk Lagoon. Divers can
explore the wrecks in safe, easy diving conditions.
Yap
Yap has lost nothing as the modern world passes it by.
Micronesia's most reserved and traditional lifestyle is unspoilt beauty.
Manta Ray Hotel:
As Yap is world famous for it's large population of manta rays, the motif of the entire
hotel is marine life. Each room bears a fish name, and is decorated accordingly, with
photographs and paintings of that fish; right down to the hand carved key.
The Pathways Hotel:
Situated on a hillside overlooking a bay below in a tropical garden setting, this
family-owned and operated eco resort offers nine individual cottages interconnected by
wooden walkways and swing bridges.

Victorian architecture, offering all the amenities of a 5-Star Hotel.
