The Rai Stones of Yap are large, circular stone discs historically used as a form of currency. These unique cultural artifacts are primarily located throughout the island of Yap and in villages, offering a glimpse into the island's rich history and traditions. While accessibility information is limited, the stones are generally viewable year-round; however, the best time to visit Yap is during the dry season (December to April) to avoid heavy rains. Visiting the Rai Stones is generally free, though hiring a local guide can enhance the experience and provide valuable context. A typical visit to see the stones can range from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many sites you wish to explore. Both solo and guided visits are possible, though a guide is recommended to fully understand the cultural significance. Keep in mind that Yap is a remote destination, so travel costs may be significant.
