Pohnpei: Attractions and more...
Due to the enchanting marine life in the waters of Pohnpei, snorkelling and scuba diving are by far the most popular activities for tourists. Hiking up the mountains, fishing, mountain biking and bathing in the waterfalls are also immensely pleasurable.
Known as the Venice of the Pacific, Nan Madol, an ancient city, is an important archaeological site worth a visit.
September 11 is celebrated as Pohnpei Liberation Day to mark the end of Japanese occupation during World War II. Various sports events are organised to commemorate the event.
Pohnpei does not offer the amenities and entertainment opportunities available in modern cities, but it is a wonderful choice for those seeking a restful vacation away from the bustle of city life.
Handicrafts and woven items are available at many shops. Before you return, be sure to pick up a model canoe as a souvenir.
