Kosrae

Guam Date-Time:
 

 

KOSRAE  Like Pohnpei (and unlike anywhere else in Micronesia) has high mountain rain forests whose peaks are often shrouded in a cloud layer. This island is truly beautiful!

If you looking for an out of the way dive holiday where there is a good chance that you & your friends will be the only visitors on the dive boat, or dive site for that matter, this is the place to go.

The water is crystal clear, nearly all dives are a leisurely drift with the boat waiting for you as you surface.

The hard corals here are huge & some of the healthiest you'll find any where. The air fare may cost a little more, but that nearly guarantees you won't be fighting the crowds in & out of the water

The Kosrae Nautilus Resort is owned & operated by an Australian family & offers hotel and diving operations. The hotel has 16 air-conditioned large rooms, with cable TV, internet connection, mini bar, tea/coffee making facilities, air-conditioned restaurant or outside dining by the swimming pool, tropical gardens, and a kayaking canal right behind the property.  Dive rates include tanks, weights and lunch. Rental equipment is available.

 

Sunday activities that we can arrange: A 2 hour leisurely hike with a guide through the rain-forest to the Menke Ruins.

A 5 to 6 hour hike to Mt.Oma, the islands 2nd highest peak, exploring Japanese WW2 caves that catacomb through the mountain at many different heights.
