Fefan Island
Fefan
The 'garden island' of the lagoon, famous for its farm produce and weaving crafts, surrounded by anchorages of several well-known wrecks
Fefan is a larger volcanic island in Chuuk Lagoon, with quiet villages that produce taro, breadfruit and bananas. The local women's weaving crafts are well regarded, and Japanese gun emplacements and caves remain on the hills. The surrounding waters were a repair and Sixth Fleet anchorage during the war, and the Yamagiri Maru, Shinkoku Maru and other wrecks lie nearby. It is about 30 minutes by boat from Weno. Visitors should arrange a guide to contact the village and respect local customs.
