Palau Tours

One of the newest, least visited and indeed most interesting countries on earth, travel to the Republic of Palau is increasingly becoming well-known in the world of tourism!

YPT have been running travel programs to Palau since 2018 and now offer limited Palau Group Tours, as well as tour extensions and spoke travel options to the pacific nation.

Group Tours to Palau

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

Having ran tours to Palau since 2018 Young Pioneer Tours have been able to create a great network of local partners, hotels, guides and off the beaten track things to do in 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.

Day 3 – Palau

Morning

After breakfast we head out on the first of what will be many WWII trips on our Least Visited Countries tour. The Pacific Islands were the scene of many battles and the region is often overlooked for this side of its history — by Europeans at least!
We head out in YPT style, by speedboat, to the island of Peleliu which was home to some of the fiercest battles in the region
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
