Isole Minori Esterne degli Stati Uniti: cosa sapere prima di partire

L’essenziale

  • This is a group of separate restricted islands, not a conventional tourist destination.
  • Midway and Navassa are closed to ordinary public visits; Palmyra requires prior approval.
  • The driving-side field refers specifically to Wake Island; follow each site manager’s instructions elsewhere.

Ingresso e visti

Check the exact island and administering authority before making plans. General visitation is not offered at Midway; Navassa is closed to the public. Private vessels may visit Palmyra only with prior USFWS approval, subject to operating dates and permit conditions. A passport or US visa alone does not establish permission to enter a refuge.
