The Utwe-Walung Marine Park offers visitors a look at some of Micronesia's most
pristine forests and mangrove ecosystems. Located between Utwe and Walung villages, the park is a community-based conservation area, recognized by the people and state of Kosrae for its outstanding and sustainable biodiversity.
You can select from a variety of tour offerings at the park seeing the mangrove channels by traditional canoes, trekking to
ancient stone ruins built centuries ago deep in the rainforest, snorkeling in crystal-clear, 83F degree waters over
colorful reefs teeming with life, or strolling along the
isolated beaches near Walung Village.
You can unwind at the park's headquarters. Set on the shore a stone's throw from the famous Bully Hayes' shipwreck site, the building's architecture mirrors the past with a steep-pitch woven roof, and an open-area interior that is breezy and comfortable. Bathroom facilities are available.
it's bound to be one of these.
