 Wolerai Atoll : Profile
Lat 7° 22.48' N Long 143° 54.36' E . About 800 people live on five of Wolerai's 22 islets, some of which are clustered together and joined at low tide by sand bars. Permission is necessary to visit Wolerai (and Yap's other outer islands): make a request to the Special Assistant for Outer Islands Affairs in Colonia, Yap, at least a month before you hope to visit.
Wolerai holds firmly onto its traditional ways: canoes are favoured over motorboats, and there are rules against wearing T-shirts, pants, baseball caps and other Western clothing. While foreign visitors are exempt from clothing regulations, it aids your acceptance if you endeavour to wear traditional dress.
Wolerai is accessible by plane from Yap (PMA flights from Yap once every 2 weeks).
