YAP

Book your Yap dive trip by emailing islands@mdaguam.com/

Yap is a great stop-over on your way to Palau and SHOULD be considered as a single destination, but unfortunately most people don't.  Yap is most famous for its incredible Manta Rays which are a great attraction and are normally seen (up close and personal) on almost every dive to the "Manta" channels. But Yap also offers a wide diversity of marine life from very big animals down to tiny mandarin fish, teeming reefs, and a very special culture.
Jump on a plane and take a short 1 1/2 hour ride and you will land in paradise. Yap is a small remote island, that is the perfect place to unplug and get rest, swim, and scuba dive, also enjoy the quite island cultural. This is a great place for family vacations. Enjoy hiking, kayaking and cultural tours. You can even rent a car for the day and tool around this tropical environment. Be sure to ask us about the Non Diver prices, along with Kids Prices!

Flights:
Depart Guam on: Tuesday and Saturday evening.
Return to Guam on: Wednesday and Sunday early morning.

Yap Dive Resorts



Manta Ray Bay Resort - Use MDA to book your stay in YapManta Ray Bay is a great diver’s resort with it's own diving facility, Yap Divers, located on site. Both are right at the water's edge making it ridiculously easy to get your stored gear together and walk it onto the dive boat.
They also offer village and island tours. By far the most unique attraction at Manta Ray Bay is a HUGE Indonesian schooner right in front of the hotel. Sailed to Yap in September, 2001, the Mnuw has been converted into one of the most unique restaurants and truly nautical bars you'll find anywhere. Your evenings can be spent relaxing on the deck, visiting with the other guests and enjoying a sumptuous dinner prepared by 5 star chefs or just sipping one of their very special island drinks.

Yap's only brewing company - Stone Money Brewing Co. Don't miss it on your next visit to Yap!
Stone Money Brewing Co.
Typically, when you visit a tropical paradise one expects that the "local brew" is always a little less than satisfying, lacking in taste/richness and even sometimes downright undrinkable. Not so in Yap!  Stone Money Brewing Company, Yap's own genuine microbrewery. We even have a Swiss brew master! With its climate controlled brewing facility and high-quality ingredients, you would be hard pressed to find a better tropical microbrewery.
    TIPS ON YAP
  • Yap passports must be valid for 180 days (6 months) beyond intended stay.  Currently there is NO departure tax or dive permit required.
  • Take extra cash with you. There are no ATM's on Yap, and not many places accept checks or credit cards.
  • Get out and explore. Car rental is easy at the front desk of all hotels.
  • Batteries are expensive and not reliable there.  Bring your own.
