Lenger Island
Lenger
A small island in the lagoon north of Kolonia, with remains of a Japanese seaplane base from World War II and shallow reefs for snorkeling.
Lenger Island lies in the lagoon north of Kolonia Harbor. During World War II, the Japanese military operated a seaplane base here, and remnants of gun emplacements, concrete bunkers, and fuel storage facilities still stand in the woods. The shallow reefs are good for snorkeling. You can paddle a kayak from Kolonia or hire a small boat, a trip of about 15 minutes. The island is privately owned, so there is a fee, and you should contact the owner in advance. It suits a half-day trip.

Boat must be arranged in advance
