Spectacular 400-mile long strand of pearls laid across emerald-turquoise sea best describes this jewel of the pacific. The Republic of Palau archipelago consists of the high island of Babeldaob, the low coral atolls of Kayangel to the northeast and in the south, Koror, Peleliu, Angaur, Tobi, Sonsorol and more than 586 limestone Rock Islands that from the air look like giant green mushrooms.
Koror, the business and commercial center of Palau has many attractions within walking distances from hotels, stores and conference venue - from the only Shinto Shrine outside Japan, Belau National Museum, Etpison Museum, Palau Aquarium and many more.
With the completion of the Compact Road, accessibility to all outlying states in the big island of Babeldaob and the new Palau National Capitol, Ngerulmud where the President, Congress and Traditional Chiefs’ offices are located, is now possible. From Koror you can take a drive to Babeldaob for an all day sight-seeing tour to the historical, cultural and eco-tourist sites.
Palau is renowned for its world famous rock islands, Jellyfish Lake and world’s best dive destination and considered to some, the 8th Natural Wonder of the World.
