Overview
Nukuoro Atoll is a small, teardrop-shaped coral atoll in the Federated States of Micronesia, located in the southeastern part of Pohnpei State. With a population of around 370 people, Nukuoro is one of the few Polynesian outliers in Micronesia, preserving a distinct language, navigational traditions, and artistic heritage including sculpture and tattooing. The island is surrounded by lush vegetation, white-sand beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a hidden gem for small expedition cruise ships.
Cruise visitors are welcomed into a community that lives sustainably off the land and sea, with subsistence farming, fishing, and copra production forming the backbone of daily life. The island’s isolation has helped preserve its cultural identity and natural beauty, offering travelers a rare opportunity to engage with traditional practices and untouched environments.
Discover vibrant marine life in crystal-clear waters surrounding the atoll.
