PALAU
More than 300 islands,
sitting in a blue and turquoise lagoon, all encircled
by a complex, living reef, make up Palau. There are few
places in the world more dramatically beautiful. The islands,
with their thick, rain-forest vegetation, hide waterfalls
and deep caverns. Birds of many varieties wing their way
through the skies over the lagoon and clamor noisily where
they nest on steep hillsides.

Visitors can discover Palau's centuries old culture and
archeological sites on Babeldoab Island. On Peleliu, relive
one of the Pacific's most historic battles of WWII. Experience
the unmatched beauty of Palau's rain forests and rivers
on an overland tour. Kayak over clear blue waters through
the magical, emerald green rock islands, in search of hidden
marine lakes.
It is all here: ancient monoliths, stone money, WWII war
relics, waterfalls, pitcher plants and orchids, a relaxed
culture, sportfishing, crystal clear waters filled with
marine life, stingless jellyfish in inland lakes and so
much more. It's a place where the unusual is ordinary and
adventures beckon around every corner.
