Backpacking or travelling in Palau?

  • Palau is a tropical paradise that is best known for its spectacular underwater world and breathtaking nature. This tiny island nation in the western Pacific Ocean consists of 340 islands with a beautiful mix of culture, history and biodiversity. Whether you are a nature lover, adventurer or just someone who enjoys peace and beauty, Palau offers something for everyone. But… It is not a cheap backpacking destination, so keep that in mind!
  • Activities to spot: dive in the Blue Corner; snorkel in Jellyfish Lake (yes really); explore the iconic Rock Islands; hike through the rainforest to the Ngardmau waterfall; visit Koror town; smear yourself with white mud in Milky Way Lagoon; discover traditional villages on Babeldaob Island; kayak through mangroves; dive on WWII wrecks; discover unique dishes.
  • Animal spotting: giant manta rays, saltwater crocodiles, sea turtles, napoleon fish, reef sharks, bats, tropical bird species, jellyfish in Jellyfish Lake, dolphins.
  • Food spotting: taro dumplings, red snapper, coconut ice cream, bamboo shoot curry, fresh coconuts, fried banana, vegetable stew.

Living in Palau?

  • Palau offers a relaxed lifestyle, incredible nature and biodiversity, but also high costs and limited access to facilities. Palau is a dream for those who love nature, tranquility and a simple lifestyle. It is not a destination for everyone, but if you are up for the adventure, Palau can steal your heart.
  • Expat community: small and mainly active in tourism and conservation. Safety: Very safe.
  • Be aware: Everything is imported so cost of living is high and life on a small island can be isolating.
  • Health insurance: There is a good hospital in Koror, but for complex cases you may need to be evacuated. So make sure you have your own good health insurance.
