Yap's gently rolling landscape consists of four islands: Yap, Tomil-Gagil, Maap and Rumung. These tightly knit land masses are dissected by three channels that lead outwards over a broad lagoon, to her surrounding reef. Sharks flock here as well, however, Yap is becoming equally well known for it’s macro life. There are a good selection of the small and often whacky reef building animals to look for if you can just drag yourself away from the mantas. And while the mantas are almost guaranteed by day, by dusk colonies of tiny mandarinfish can be seen mating. The southern reefs are also impressive and despite some typhoon damage a couple of years ago, there is plenty of coral. Conditions vary from the east, or windward, side to the west of the island, so there is always somewhere to go, even when the weather is less than perfect. |
