 Colonia, Yap Island : Profile
Tomil Harbour, the main port, is reached through a passage in the reef. If there is space yachts can come alongside a quay in the small boat harbour for clearance.
Yap Proper, consisting of 13 islands within a reef, is the centre of the state.
It is the most intriguing island in Micronesia and is peopled by one of the most distinctive cultures in the Pacific. Dance is an art form in Yap through which history and legends are passed down the generations. The dances are raucous, colorful and well- orchestrated and the children are taught them from an early age. The islands' famed stone money and stone paths are beautifully preserved.
