Cruises
between Truk and Yap states of the FSM are scheduled for full ship charters only.
For more details please contact us.
The
outer island atolls of Truk's Western Islands, and the Neighboring Islands of
Yap abound with the pristine beauty and isolation of Oceania. Each island awaits
our visits with welcoming anticipations and are ready to show on board guests
the magic and wonders that hold these people to their distant shores so far removed
from the intense bustle of a modern world.
The culture and history of these
island people is only matched by nature's extravagance of magnificent reef life
and waters unknown to regular divers visiting busy island capitals.
Island
names such as Pulap Atoll, Puluwat Atoll, Pulusuk, Satawal, Pikelot, West Fayu
Atoll, Lamotrek Atoll, Olimarao Atoll, Eauripik Atoll, Ifalik Atoll, Sorol Atoll,
Ulithi Atoll and Ngulu Atoll, and near countless others are all ready to welcome
our very occasional visits when choosing to include them in our 6 to 8 island
and reef visits on each tour in both east and west directions.
Each tour
features a selection of these sites with varying stays based on guest involvement
and related interests.
Visits primarily focus on underwater interests,
but will include social interfacing at many sites, requiring conformity to local
traditions and customs. Many islands will have displays of local dancing and crafts.
Some locations forbid power boats, relying entirely on big carved sailing canoes.
A ride on a big ocean sailing canoe will surpass most visitor's dreams. Sharks,
manta rays, turtles and milleniums of fish life are seen in profusion, especially
at exposed and uninhabited locations.
Various islands have WWII artifacts
above and below their lagoon waters. Japanese war planes, U.S. bombers, defense
guns, buildings and an abandoned lighthouse, old aircraft runways, and shipwrecks
exist at several sites.
These dream cruises exceed near all expectations
for connoisseurs of fine dive travel.
