As the name
says, Micronesia means many islands, so guess what? The only way to get
around in this part of the Pacific is islandhopping. And that is exactly
what this trip is all about. You will
first get to Guam, the most central located and most populated island in
Micronesia. During the first two days you might see the many historic
sights, do your shopping and join the nightlife and beach activities. But
you can also explore the island to see jungle landscape, cliffs, beaches
and lagunes. You may do an excursion or rent a car (not included). Then
you visit Yap for three days, the island known for it stone money that is
still in use. But it is also the place to see giant manta rays. Your
third island stop is on Palau, the divers Mecca. A must see here are the
Rock Islands, an unbelievable shaped island labyrinth. But like on Yap and
other Micronesian Islands, you also might like to explore some remote
parts of the island to experience some intresting culture and traditions
of the native inhabitants. |

Fourth stop is
on Truk for 3 days, another excellent dive spot. During the WW2 a big part
of the Japanese Warfleet was sunk here in the lagoon after a surprise
attack of the American Navy. The wrecks offer an unbelievable decor for
the rich sealife. Fifth hold is on remote
and lush vegetated Pohnpei, where you stay also three days. If there was a
real Atlantis, it was probably the ancient ruin city of Nan Madol that was
meant. You still can see walls, canals and petroglyphs.
Travelling these places needs carefull planning,
flexibility of the Traveller and a not to tight budget and timeschedule.
After heavy rains, roads can wash, electricity can fail and planes can get
delayed. We have experience with these local circumstances and have planed
this trip accordingly. Are you ready for it ?
