Thank you for the post. I was looking into using the mini-RTW as an opportunity to do some interesting scuba diving, and although Pohnpei and Chuuk caught my eye, I initially discounted them as too hard to reach. Thanks to your legwork, I now have an itinerary with a few days in each of them, plus some Indonesia thrown in for good measure, not to mention a few layovers, also in places I haven’t visited before. Curious about your experience of the rest of the island hopper.
Awesome. Sometimes when I’m writing about these obscure places I’m like "no one’s going to read this!" I’m so glad you found these posts useful!
Thanks Ricky,
Guam has now been demoted from possibly interesting destination to avoid at all costs destination.
I wouldn’t make a special effort to visit unless you have a particular affinity for remote destinations (like me). Even then, there are arguably many more interesting islands in the Pacific that you could visit, like Chuuk & Pohnpei to come.
