Kosrae State

The easternmost state of Micronesia, a lush green volcanic island with the Leluh ruins and undisturbed coral reefs.

Kosrae State lies at the far eastern end of the Federated States of Micronesia. It is a single mountainous volcanic island covered in dense rainforest and mangroves. The ancient stone-built city ruins on Leluh Island are the main cultural sight, and the surrounding coral reefs are healthy and good for diving and snorkeling; you can also hike in the hills or paddle a kayak through the mangroves. Visitors are few and the pace is slow. It is warm and humid year-round. Kosrae Airport is on the United Airlines island-hopper route, reachable from Guam or Honolulu.
