Kosrae is one of the most peaceful place and people I have ever visited with and I have been to a few places. Lot of Interesting things to see the Lelu Ruins which was the capital of a vast central Pacific empire from the 13th century is really amazing. The Kosrae State Museum in Tofol has a very good over view of Kosrae culture and history and it is free.

Kosrae has a has a population now of about 7600 people and was probably first settled from Polynesia about 1,000 years BCE.

Beautiful hikes in the mountains of Kosrae with waterfalls and of course DIVING fantastic diving with gin clear water 200 ft visibility.
