Discover Kosrae

Pristine Reefs, Ancient Ruins, and Jungle AdventuresOften called an unspoiled garden island, Kosrae is lush with flowers, citrus trees, and fresh ocean air—perfect for those seeking peace and natural beauty. Explore ancient ruins at Lelu, remnants of WWII, hidden caves, and even a sunken pirate ship. Adventurers can hike Mount Finkol, known as the "Sleeping Lady," past waterfalls and through dense jungle. Paddle through serene mangrove channels by kayak or outrigger canoe for a closer look at the island’s vibrant ecosystems.

World-Class Diving & Untouched Nature

Kosrae is home to some of the world’s healthiest coral reefs, with over 50 marked dive sites and visibility reaching 200 feet. Expect thriving hard corals, dramatic drop-offs, and sightings of sharks, tuna, and vibrant reef fish. Night diving is a special treat, with moonlight revealing a whole new underwater world.

Top Attractions

Sipyen Waterfall
Arrow Icon

Sipyen Waterfall is a 30-foot cascade in Utwe, perfect for a refreshing dip or photo op. Just a short five-minute walk from the road, it’s a peaceful spot to cool off—though the path and rocks can be slippery. As a courtesy, ask the nearby landowner for permission before visiting.

Wiya Bird Cave
Arrow Icon

A massive natural cavern home to hundreds of island swiftlets, found nowhere else on Kosrae. A pool of nutrient-rich guano at the base is used in local gardens, and legends tell of giants and hidden tunnels. Located just off the main road, it's an easy and fascinating stop.

James Palsis Marine Park
Arrow Icon

Explore one of Micronesia’s most pristine marine environments, home to lush mangroves, sea-grass meadows, and vibrant coral reefs. Located between Tafunsak and Walung, this community-run park offers crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling, and quiet beaches only accessible by boat or jungle hike. Picnic huts, restrooms, and gentle ocean breezes make it an ideal place to relax and connect with nature.

Utwe-Walung Marine Park
Arrow Icon

Designated as the Pacific’s first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this park features ancient mangrove forests, hidden marine lakes, and winding backwater channels. A canoe trip from Utwe to Walung reveals a peaceful world of biodiversity and natural wonder—perfect for travelers seeking quiet, untouched beauty.

Lelu Ruins
Arrow Icon

These basalt-walled ruins were once the seat of an ancient empire. Dating back to the 13th century, Lelu’s stone channels, tombs, and royal quarters echo the grandeur of a powerful past, believed to have influenced later Pacific civilizations like Nan Madol.

Menke Ruins
Arrow Icon

Believed to be the oldest ruins in Micronesia, Menke is tied to the legend of the Goddess Sinlaku. A hike through Menke Valley leads to sacred temples, unspoiled riverbanks, and one of the last stands of native Ka trees in the world.
