Discover Palau: Jellyfish Lake and the Rock Islands

Millions of stingless golden jellyfish drift through this marine lake, letting snorkelers swim among them safely.

This UNESCO World Heritage site scatters hundreds of mushroom-shaped limestone islands across turquoise, reef-filled waters.

Blue Corner and German Channel rank among the world's top dive sites, famous for shark encounters and dramatic drop-offs.

Fine white limestone mud on this lagoon's floor is said to soften skin, drawing visitors for a uniquely Palauan spa experience.

November–April, the dry season, offers the clearest waters for diving and snorkeling.

Most nationalities receive a visa on arrival, along with a mandatory Palau Pledge environmental stamp.

Palau is a relatively expensive destination, reflecting its remote location and premium diving tourism.

Boats are the main way to reach the Rock Islands and dive sites from the main hub of Koror.
