Explore Palau with Benny's Royal Tours: Unforgettable Journey from Cochin to Koror, Melekeok

Palau, an archipelago of over 500 islands in the western Pacific Ocean, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. This 7-10 day tour provides an immersive experience, allowing visitors to explore the best of what Palau has to offer.

From the moment you arrive in Koror, the island's vibrant atmosphere and friendly locals make you feel welcome. The first evening is perfect for a leisurely exploration of the town, sampling local dishes such as taro, coconut milk-based stews, and fresh seafood. Koror serves as an ideal base for your Palauan adventure, offering a mix of modern amenities and traditional charm.

Day two takes you to the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon, a breathtaking natural wonder. These limestone islands, scattered across turquoise waters, are a paradise for snorkelers and kayakers. The diverse marine life, including colorful fish and coral reefs, makes snorkeling here an unforgettable experience. The pristine beaches and hidden coves offer perfect spots for relaxation and exploration.

Jellyfish Lake on day three is a highlight for many visitors. Swimming among millions of harmless jellyfish is a surreal and serene experience. The lake's unique ecosystem, separated from the ocean for millennia, allows these jellyfish to evolve without predators. The Milky Way lagoon offers a different kind of adventure with its white mud, known for its exfoliating properties. After a mud bath, a swim in the clear lagoon waters is incredibly refreshing.

Babeldaob Island, visited on day four, contrasts sharply with the marine landscapes of the previous days. The hike to Ngardmau Waterfall through dense rainforest is both challenging and rewarding. The waterfall itself is a stunning sight, cascading down a rocky cliff into a clear pool. The island's traditional villages and ancient stone paths provide a glimpse into Palau's rich cultural history, with knowledgeable guides sharing stories and insights.

For diving enthusiasts, day five offers an unparalleled experience. The Blue Corner and German Channel are world-renowned dive sites, teeming with marine life. Divers can expect to see sharks, manta rays, and an array of vibrant corals. Non-divers can still enjoy the underwater beauty through snorkeling or glass-bottom boat tours, ensuring everyone gets to appreciate Palau's underwater wonders.

The Badrulchau Stone Monoliths on day six provide a fascinating look into Palau's ancient past. These massive stone structures, shrouded in mystery, are believed to have been part of a ceremonial site. The visit to Melekeok and the Palau National Capitol building adds a modern touch to the day's explorations. The capital's serene surroundings and well-preserved nature provide a peaceful end to the day's activities.

On the final day, visitors can relax and reflect on their journey. Whether lounging on the beach, shopping for souvenirs, or taking a final swim in the ocean, the last day in Koror is a perfect conclusion to the tour. Palau's unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and adventure ensures that every visitor leaves with lasting memories.
