The island of Pohnpei, nicknamed the Green Island, gives you a glimpse of the lush face of the country. At Kepirohi in the province of Madolenihmw, this verdant nature is sublimated by waterfalls that rank among the most beautiful in the country, to be discovered during a hike. In Micronesia, the call of the sea is irresistible. In the heart of these tiny islands, diving is king. The country offers a wide range of diving spots. In Yap, you can swim with manta rays, thread your way through caves and tunnels, encounter schools of tropical fish and get up close and personal with sea turtles.
Chuuk lagoon boasts a similarly rich underwater environment. And there's more: almost 300 wrecks of planes, boats and other vehicles - those of the Japanese fleet that sank during the Second World War. The site is a feast for the eyes, and at the same time tells you a great deal about the history of Micronesia, which, like most of the Pacific islands, was severely affected by the war. Even on land, Chuuk bears the scars of war. Micronesia also offers a rare opportunity to swim with jellyfish at Jellyfish Lake in Palau's Chelbacheb Islands. With no defense system, the jellyfish in this lake are completely harmless, giving you the chance to enjoy this exceptional experience.
From a cultural point of view, Micronesia is just as fascinating. Take a close look at the Nan Madol ruins in Pohnpei, a unique megalithic city whose construction is shrouded in mystery. In Yap, traditional stone money is still used today. Nevertheless, the official currency is the dollar. The coins are fascinating in their size, up to 3.5 m in diameter, with the smallest measuring 30 cm. Here, traditions manifest themselves in everyday life, through songs and dances, tattoos proudly worn by the people, handicrafts such as flower necklaces and shell jewelry, basket weaving, sculpture and so on. This country plunges you into a whole new world, the authenticity of which is what makes it so beautiful!
Micronesia enjoys a humid tropical climate. Rain falls almost year-round, but the amount varies from period to period. With its moist, humid atmosphere, Micronesia enjoys an average temperature of 28°C year-round. From November to May, rainfall is particularly heavy. These are the wettest months of the year. Micronesia may experience cyclones in December and August, but not always. Considering the climate of Micronesia as a whole, the best time to visit is between December and May. For the islands located in the Western Zone of the country, particularly Yap, February, March and April are the best months for a trip to these islands in Oceania. For the Central Islands, which enjoy a drier climate than the rest of the country, the best time to visit is between December and February. But whatever the day's weather, every day spent in the country is an opportunity to discover the local culinary specialties that are an integral part of Micronesian culture. Discover the flavours of the land at the Oceanview Restaurant in Koloina, in the picturesque state of Yap.
