Pohnpei Surf and Dive Club Headquarters

The Pohnpei Surf and Dive Club is located at Mangrove Bay Hotel, Bar, Restaurant, and Marina.  Just a 10-minute car ride from the airport, Pohnpei Surf and Dive Club has direct access to the water, a nice dock for our boats, Mangrove Bay Hotel, Bar and Restaurant, and Marina has a full-service bar and a sushi restaurant, fast internet connection in the rooms, 8 lagoon-front rooms that look out upon the harbor, and much more to offer to guest.  We are located, a very short walking distance or quick car ride to numerous bars, restaurants, and markets, it’s the perfect location!

Pohnpei Surf and Dive Club and Mangrove Bay will be hosting you in double rooms on the waterfront with a spacious balcony, TV, Air Conditioner, WiFi, and a beautiful view of the lagoon and surrounding ridges, as well as views of both the sunset and sunrise.  This is the perfect option for surfers or divers looking for comfortable, modern accommodations with full amenities on a world class trip, or for couples seeking a unique, authentic experience in the Pacific Islands instead of another chain resort experience.

Mangrove Bay Hotel, Bar, Restaurant, and Marina is the #1 recommended accommodation provider in Pohnpei, Micronesia and your one-stop place for all your accommodation and tourist needs.  We are a family of islanders dedicated to bringing our guests memorable experiences through island hospitality.  Extending right out of a natural marsh of mangroves and into the ocean is a narrow strip of land that leads to what is now Mangrove Bay Hotel and Mangrove Bay Sushi Bar.  The entire area, called Mangrove Bay, was a small project made possible through the vision of its owners, Kumer & Antonia Panuelo.  They envisioned a small hotel business strongly rooted in idea of providing memorable experiences and simply the best that island hospitality can provide.  Through their vision and the hard and tireless efforts of a group of local workers, the humble project became a success.  This family-run business, affectionately referred to as a local gem, is highly frequented by both locals and tourists alike.

Ahnd Atoll will be the highlight of anyone’s trip to Pohnpei.  The Atoll is located 10 miles offshore of Pohnpei (reef to reef from the south side of Pohnpei) or around 25 miles each way from our dock.  A one-way trip usually takes around 1 hour, 20 minutes from our dock all the way to the beach at Ahnd (under good boating conditions).  Ahnd Atoll is privately owned by the Nanpei Family Estate who manages and protects it.  It is also a Unesco Marine Biosphere Reserve with many conservation zones.

A day trip to Ahnd Atoll for scuba diving, snorkeling, beach time goes a bit like this depending on the activity you want to do.  Most trips leave around 8 am, and return around 5 pm.  Most dives are done at the pass or on the backside of the atoll where conditions are calmer.  Snorkeling can be done at the pass or reefs around the beach.

To visit the atoll you will need an entry permission from the Nanpei Estate, and we can arrange that for our guests.  We can only visit the atoll with the permission of the owners and weather permitting.  The weather we cannot change!  To visit the atoll we need light winds for the 10 mile ocean crossing.

“Nan Madol” is a prehistoric ‘city’ of more than ninety man-made islets off the coast of Temwen Island, constructed of naturally-occurring prismatic basalt columns, basalt boulders, and coral fill.  Many of the islets have large, complicated structures on them composed of the same types of rock — stones as heavy as 90 tons.  Together, the islets formed a powerful administrative and religious complex from which the island of Pohnpei was ruled for several hundred years by a line of tyrannical monarchs called Saudeleurs.  The lower city, Madol Pah, was the administrative center, while the upper city, Madol Powe, was the ceremonial heart of the complex.

Megalithic sites like Nan Madol are rare around the world and even rarer in the Pacific.  Anyone who has seen the city would place it alongside other more famous megalithic feats such as the pyramids of Egypt and Central America, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, and Rapa Nui’s moai.  And yet, Nan Madol is little-known outside the archaeological community and visited by a surprisingly small number of people each year. Nan Madol was inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2016.”
