A Boat and Kayak Visit to the Ancient City of Nan Madol

We often combine two sites for this trip: Manta Road & Stingray Alley. The trip to Manta Road depends on the tides, so it comes either first of second so we can catch the mantas as they are feeding. At the right time and tide, we often see anywhere from 1 to 10 mantas each visit. There are multiple stingrays at the Alley. There are great coral formations at both sites.

We make this trip for a maximum of 2 passengers. It is critically tide-dependent but gives you an opporturnity to take the 50 minute boat ride around the east side of Pohnpei's lagoon, stop for either a dive or a snorkel, enter the main channel of the Nan Madol complex and explore the ruins. We carry two easily maneuverable kayaks along with the passengers, safety gear, dive or snorkel gear (if desired). The base cost of the trip is $300 (includes entrance fee to the site, safety gear, cooler with ice, filtered drinking water (you can supplement with your own beverage), and local snacks (to which you can add your own). Snorkel gear rental is $15. Full scuba gear rental for a single dive and the dive is $75.

Join us when we motor out to a nearby reef site 90 minutes before sunset. We schedule one each month, but will make the trip if you wish to make it. This gives you a chance to snorkel, swim, or just relax on the boat. We always provide safety equipment, a cooler of ice with filtered drinking water (you can bring your own extra beverages), and some local snacks (you are welcome to bring additional snacks if you desire). You can rent a complete set of snorkel gear for $15 if you don't have your own and wish to explore the reef before sunset. We return to our departure site about 30 minutes after sunset. We need a minimum of 4 customers to run this trip.
