Discover Yap by kayak and enjoy a half or better yet a full day, unique experience in the diverse mangrove systems of Yap. This is the perfect way to explore one of the few ecosystems on this planet that remains untouched by man.
Among the mangroves you will go were none can go but by kayak. There are no roads, no way to bring a powered boat in and no habitation, there is but you and nature.
See some of the wild bird life endemic to Yap
with your host Patricia Acker, wife of
hotel manager Bill Acker. Charming, knowledgeable and capable are words
that have aptly been used to describe the manager of Yap's Planet Blue
Kayak Tours.Born and raised on Yap, Patricia knows the local fauna and wildlife as well as anyone.
She is pleased and proud to introduce the lucky few who join her personally guided tours to "her" island. A mother of 4, she is an avid student of local medicine and on her tours she is more than happy to share her wealth of knowledge about the Yapese people and their folklore as well as their ancient traditions of herbal medicine. If you bring a snorkel, you might even get a chance to observe the Archerfish as it spits jets of water several feet into the overhanging vegetation to knock down insects.
