Koror | Tra-vel

When to go

Plan your sea activities around wind forecasts and sea conditions. Leave a few free days so that you can reschedule a boat trip if the weather changes.

Things to see and do

Choose an organised trip to the UNESCO-protected Rock Islands or a peaceful kayaking tour. Add visits to cultural institutions between days at sea to get to know Palau on land as well.

Practical tips

Before excursions, clarify the permits required and the rules of each area. Do not step on coral or touch marine animals; arrange lake visits separately without assuming permanent accessibility.

Getting there and getting around

The international airport is in Airai State on Babeldaob. A road across the bridge connects it with Koror; it is best to book your hotel transfer before arrival.

Where to stay

When choosing accommodation in Koror, consider your excursion departure points and evening transport. Ask whether the operator collects you from the hotel and whether the journey is included.

What to try

Koror offers various international cuisines and restaurants serving fish dishes. For an introduction to regional food, ask about the fresh catch, seasonal side dishes and sauce ingredients.
