Experience A Seldom Explored Wilderness
Since most visitors travel to Palau for the best diving in the world, they can miss much else that makes Palau unique. Contained within Palau 's immense barrier reef and huge lagoon are hundreds of uninhabited islands separated by serpentine waterways and covered with dense tropical forest.
More than dramatically scenic, this pristine environment is unique, because within this maze of limestone islands, the remnants of ancient reefs, riddled with caves and secluded anchorages, there are more than sixty beautiful and tranquil saltwater lakes. These lakes have been separated from the surrounding lagoon so long that many have developed their own eco-systems and endemic species.
Palau's multitude of environments, reef walls, coral gardens, islands within lagoon, and thousands of acres of mangrove swamp have insured the greatest diversity of coral and reef dwellers found outside Indonesia. Fortunately, Palau's historically small population and lack of any industrial development has preserved this marine wonderland just as it has been for millennia. |
