Micronesia Halal Explorer

Micronesia is a vast area that mainly consists of water. Transport can be a major issue because of the lack of an organized highway or byway, found in larger and more vast countries. Due to the lack of space on the islands, most activities are nautical, scuba diving etc.

Local Language in Micronesia

English is an official language of all countries and territories here. Indigenous languages such as Chamorro phrasebook|Chamorro, Palauan phrasebook|Palauan and Marshallese phrasebook|Marshallese are also official in their respective countries and territories.

Travel to Micronesia

Palau and Guam have the best connections from outside Micronesia. The US territories, insomuch that civilians are allowed to enter, are connected to the US. As the airports often aren't large enough to accommodate large airplanes, expect Flights to be of the island-to-island type which often means several landings and takeoffs before you're at your destination.
