Least Visited Counties Tour – 15 December 2024 – 13 January 2025 $2795 – $11995

In the Palau part of this tour, we stay for around 3 nights, 4 days seeing all the major sites. This can be as a standalone, or was part of the longer tour.

Independent Tours to Palau

As such we can arrange independent and bespoke travel packages to Palau, either as standalone, or as part of a wider Pacific, or Least Visited package.

  • In the afternoon we head out for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: snorkelling at Palau Jellyfish Lake! The jellyfish have evolved away their stingers, having no natural predators around, and make for a phenomenal natural sight!

Day 3 – Palau

  • On arrival we check out the World War Two Memorial Museum, but the whole island has basically been left as an open-air museum.

Afternoon

  • Lunch in a local restaurant
  • Check out White Beach where the American military landed, the wreckage of American tanks and planes still left as they were, concrete pillboxes and Japanese machine-gun posts as well as the eerie shell of the Japanese Military Headquarters. We also visit the Japanese shrine built to commemorate those who died
  • Head back to the main island and go for dinner at Taj for Indian food
  • Check out of the hotel and head for the airport
