Things to see and do in Palau
Babeldaob
Go diving
Enjoy Palau's excellent dive sites, including: Blue Corner; Ngemelis Wall, aka the Big Drop-off, and praised by Jacques Cousteau; the German Channel, known for its manta rays; Siaes Tunnel, an enormous underwater cavern where white-tip reef sharks are common; and Chandelier Cave, underwater chambers filled with stalactites.
Imeungs
See the 37 stone monoliths known as Badrulchau, concrete examples of Babeldaob's early civilisation. Stone foundations, pillars and other remnants of Palau's history are also located at Imeungs in the island's southwest.
Jellyfish Lake
Swim in jellyfish-infested waters but don't get stung. Millions of jellyfish inhabit Jellyfish Lake, cut off from the rest of the ocean, and snorkellers can get up close as they no longer have their stings.
Koror
Explore the capital, Koror, the busiest centre in the islands with many gift shops, restaurants and other resort facilities. While there, visit the Palau National Museum, where more than 1,000 relics of Palau's past are housed including shell money and traditional weapons.
Peleliu island
Visit the island of Peleliu, which forms the southern boundary of the Rock Islands. In 1985 it was designated a US National Historic Landmark, owing to the part it played in WWII. Abandoned tanks, helmets and bomb casings are still dotted throughout the island.
Watersports
Go snorkelling, sea kayaking, sailing and fishing around the beautiful Rock Islands.
