Safety & Scams

Generally very safe with low crime rates; petty theft can occur in urban areas, so keep valuables secure; exercise caution when swimming or diving due to currents; protect yourself from the intense tropical sun; medical facilities are basic, so comprehensive travel insurance is essential.

Getting Around

Internal travel between the four states is primarily by air (United Airlines); taxis are available in main towns; car rentals are common on Pohnpei and Yap; 'benjo' boats are used for lagoon travel; walking is easy within most village centers.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect for traditional leaders (Chiefs) is very high; greetings should be polite; dress modestly, especially outside of beaches (cover shoulders and knees in villages); always ask permission before taking photos of people or private property; Sunday is widely observed as a quiet day of rest.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital connectivity is centralized in state capitals; 3G/4G is available via FSMTC but can be slow; remote islands have little to no internet access; many hotels provide Wi-Fi, though bandwidth may be limited across the islands.
