Kosrae is located in the Federated States of Micronesia, an island group in the Pacific Ocean that is north of Papua New Guinea. Kosrae is east of Palau, southeast of Guam, and west of the Marshall Island. Departure tas is US$ 10. Banking & Money US currency is used. The hotels normally accept Visa and MasterCard. Cash and Travelers Checks are recommended for stores. Getting Around Not all of Kosrae is paved. Villages like Walung are accessed by rough road. Most of the time people choose to go to Walung by boat as an easier option. Here people go about their daily lives without cars or electricity. They commute at high tide and must live both from and with the sea. Boats are the main source of transportation for getting to the more remote sites like mangrove preserves and other ecological points of interest. The rest of the island is surrounded by paved road that, for the most part, is lined with jungle. In many instances, short hikes can take the visitor to waterfalls, caves and other fantastic points of interest just off the main road. Car rental and taxis are available to those who want to explore the highlights of the tropical island. Car Rentals and Taxis Taxi service and car rentals can be easily arranged.
