The turquoise waters and abundant sea life that surrounds Palau have created an ideal setting for ocean sports. Scuba diving and snorkeling are clearly Palau’s largest attraction, while the lagoons and rock islands are a paddler’s paradise. For the fishing enthusiast, casting and trolling with the rock islands as a backdrop can’t be beat. Even the opportunity to swim with dolphins is yours for the taking.
To truly experience Palau’s rich culture, land tours are a must. Numerous cultural and archeological sites throughout the islands, some dating back thousands of years, provide a glimpse of what Palau once was. Remnants from WWII and ruins from past occupations dot the landscape providing a view of Palau’s more recent history. Or, relax in the natural beauty of Palau, from waterfalls, lakes and streams to lush forests and savannas.
And, while Palau may be small, it boasts many great restaurants serving a wide variety of local and ethnic dishes and some of the best and freshest cuisine in the Pacific.
