Palikir is a town with about 4,600 people and the capital of the Federated States of Micronesia in the western Pacific Ocean. It is part of the much larger Sokehs municipality, which had a population of 7,000 as of 2009, out of the nation’s total population of 106,487. It is situated on the northwest side of Pohnpei island (population 33,000), a high volcanic island surrounded by a fringing coral reef. Nearby to the northeast is the island’s largest settlement, the coastal town of Kolonia. The economy of the capital city is reflected in the economic resources of the FSM Islands (600 islands, atolls and islets (including Pohnpei Island) as a whole. The economy of the island consists basically of subsistence farming and fishing​ ​(fish processing and aquaculture). Flights operate from Pohnpei International Airport (IATA: PNI, ICAO: PTPN).

Being that it is an incredibly small island, we recommend you book your ground transportation ahead of time. Skip the uncertainty of taxi lines and random ridesharing apps, and stick with the reliable service of your personal bilingual driver from Royal American. Decide what type of vehicle is best for your trip, then select one from our endless fleet of vehicles. Once you have completed this, we will confirm your transport details and send you full information on your driver. As you’re flying, rest easy knowing that your driver is tracking your flight and waiting for you to land. As soon as you arrive, your chauffeur will greet you with a smile then begin your airport transfer. Your locally-knowledgeable chauffeur will take the best routes, as well as recommend all of the options you have on local points of interest. Don’t be afraid to ask, for we believe in service beyond the road.
