Rock Islands
PALAU
The Rock Islands of Palau encompass over 400 lush green mushroom shaped islands that appear to float on the surface of turquoise waters. The protected UNESCO World Heritage site offers vibrant coral reefs, hidden coves, and incredible marine biodiversity. The variety and brilliance of the coral here are unparalleled, creating a stunning underwater landscape teeming with schools of colorful fish, octopus, reef sharks, and sea snakes. For a truly surreal experience, snorkel in an inland lake filled with thousands of pulsating, stingless jellyfish—a mesmerizing, otherworldly encounter.
