Experience the Wonder of Palau. Sure, divers have known about it for years, but visitors looking for a unique destination that also offers nature, culture and a bevy of additional activities will definitely enjoy the Micronesian Republic of Palau. Located just seven-degrees north of the Equator in the western Pacific Ocean, tropical weather is the norm as well as moderate temperatures and soft ocean breezes.
For diving, there are more than 1400 species of fish to see, 500 species of corals and seven species of giant clams. Certified divers can dive with Manta rays, Hawks-bill turtles or discover the Chambered Nautilus, only found in the waters near Palau. Of course you might also come into contact with whales, sharks and marlins. More than one person has noted that "Palau is one of the seventh underwater wonders of the world."
Nature abounds in Palau. About 75% of the Republic of Palau is forest and mangroves. As many as 100 birds and plants found here are solely endemic to the island. Waterfalls are stunning and like none you will have seen before. Another must is the Rock Islands. Uninhabited, the islands are located in a lagoon and protected from the sea by reefs. You will see an assortment of schools of fish, and birds. Nature always seems to be smiling. Additionally, there is Jellyfish Lake, Ngermeskang River and Lake Ngerdok, the largest lake in Micronesia that boasts freshwater.
