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. To many the name conjures up images of lush jungles atop mushroom-shaped limestone islands surrounded by turquoise waters so abundant with life that it is nearly impossible to ingest it all. With magnificent reefs that contain over 1300 species of fish and 400 species of coral, it is no surprise that it is recognized as one of the best and most consistent places to see a huge diversity and abundance of both small tropical fish and large pelagic predators…

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
