Pohnpei
Pohnpei offers warm, crystal-clear diving and healthy reefs that thrive with marine life. Rays, turtles, sharks and large colorful reef fish are common sights. For those that want to get even more remote and exotic, the outer islands, like Ant Atoll, offer an incredible experience and more great diving.
On land, Pohnpei’s high peaks and upper rainforest catch ample amounts of moisture creating more than 40 rivers and many of Micronesia’s most impressive waterfalls. Guided hiking tours are available and a great way to see these beautiful but hard-to-find parts of the island.
