KAYAK Tours in PALAU MICRONESIA...EXPLORE & DISCOVER the Rock islands by Kayak... an Adventure in Paradise
KAYAK TOURS IN PALAU MICRONESIA
For
visitors preferring to paddle rather than walk,
kayaking tours are the perfect way to really get into
the island archipelago. Kayaking conditions are
diverse , ranging from leisurely (serene water
inlets) to challenging (those with strong current,
prominent waves or shifting tides).
Palau's famous Rock Islands are a maze of
over 400 jungle-caped, mushroom-shaped islands within
the barrier reef. What better way to become more
intimately familiar with them than to kayak amongst
them. Shallow lagoons, tunnel entrances to hidden
marine lakes and lost wrecks all await discovery for
those wanting to spend some time paddling amongst the
islands. The calm water and slow pace gives the
explorer plenty of opportunities to observe native
vegetation as well as see a variety of sea, shore,
and forest birds that inhabit the rock islands...

PALAU presents a multitude of recreational alternatives, and
certainly eco-tourism and sports activities are favorites. For WW II
memorabilia, the hills of Peliliu Island are a must to explore, but be
careful; some of the ammunition may still be live. Additionally,
many of the various battle sites feature intriguing, bat-filled caves.
The magnificent islands of the Republic of Palau, fondly called Belau
by its friendly inhabitants, were named by early explorers and have
been known to the outside world at one time or another as West
Caroline Islands, the Palaos, the New Philippines, Panlog, and the
Pelew Islands.
Not with standing Palau's intriguing variety of names, in 1696 survivors
of two canoes full of seafaring natives from the Micronesian island of
Yap told Spanish priests about the islands' existence after they washed
up on the shores of Samar Island in the Philippines. What followed were
several determined attempts to reach them, but only in 1710 did Capitan
Francisco Padilla – in command of the Santissima Trinidad galleon –
finally discover and land on the Palau island of Sonsorol, where they
were met with open arms by friendly natives... visit Palau Tours NEW
