 Tour Boats by GuthrieColin The tour boats were a really fun way to get around the Rock Islands. A plane would not have been as nice because we got the chance to stop off at more places, although the overhead view would have been spectacular. The boats were pretty fast and they were covered so the sun wouldn’t beat down on us too bad but I was trying to get as much sun as possible so I was on the deck most of the time.

 Road work Sign by GuthrieColin When traveling anywhere in Palau be aware that the roads are not marked. No road signs means directions are confusing. Turn right after that big tree? might be the directions you get. With that in mind give yourself plenty of time to get around, you may get lost. Outside of Koror, roads are being built into the middle of the island where a new capital city is being established. The roads are wide and not to bumpy but they are not paved so travel at your own risk. If you get a chance to travel on one of these roads, be sure to look out for road construction signs like the one in the picture. They do not look like any other road construction sign that I have ever seen before. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Road Sign by GuthrieColin When traveling outside of Koror to any ot the northern states you really get more of the feeling of roughing it. The country has 61 km (38 mi) of roads, of which nearly all 36 km (22 mi) of paved roads are in and near Koror. Any excursion outward will reveal poorer road conditions the further away from Koror you get. As far as air travel is concerned there are 3 airports in Palau: the main one in Koror and two others which are unpaved and only small planes are able to land at those.

 Palau Japan Friendship Bridge by GuthrieColin When going out of Koror to the rest of the island you will have to cross the Palau Japan Friendship bridge. It is about 60 feet off the surface of the water below. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

AIR FARE-ROUND TRIP IS EXPENSIVE BUT SOMETIMES YOU GET SPECIAL FARE. YOU CAN EITHER FROM MAINLAND TO HAWAII TO GUAM BUT ONLY AIRLINE TO PALAU WHICH CONTINENTAL BETWEEN GUAM AND PALAU. OR YOU CAN ROUTE TO JAPAN AND THEN TO GUAM OR SAIPAN AND THEN PALAU. IT MAYBE A ROUTE BETWEEN PHILIPHINES AND PALAU. PALAU IS VERY SMALL AND HAVE FOURTEEN OUSTSIDE STATES THAT YOU CAN GO BY CAR OR BOAT. THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO GO TO ROCK ISLAND Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

There is a regular flight from Guam and Manila. There is also a chartered flight from Japan seasonably. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Renting a bicycle for a day or 2 to do sightseeing in Palau, especially on the island of Koror, is probably the best choice you'll make on your travels to Palau. They have several taxi-cab sevices but it cost like around $20 per hour. To have a taxi take you to the north-tip of the Big Island (Babeldaob), the tag on the trip is anywhere between $75-85++!! (Yikes!). Most of the tourist attractions and/or points of interest for tourists in the area of Koror are all do-able by a bike ride....literally minutes from one place to the next. I rented from this place called Island Bike Rental. The bikes are in excellent condition, clean, smooth. The rental was only $20.00...although I was given rental for $15.00 instead! I had a great time, no taxi cab rushing me, etc. And the best part is that they delivered the bike to my hotel....and picked it up afterwards! Really a plus. I think the website was palaubikerental.com

If you're in Palau for a couple of diving days you'll most likely stay in Koror. As you will find out, Koror is not really nice to walk around - there's few pavements, there's rain almost daily, the town is stretched over few islands. And I don't recall any public transport... So ask around and rent some car, you'll get to bars, restaurants, snorkelling places, dive shops, vista points... much easier and you'll enjoy your stay much more. Beware though - driving is on the right side while most cars are used japanese imports, so steering wheel is on the right as well. Quite strange in the beginning, believe me. You'd most likely need a 4WD to get around Babeldab, but for Koror any nissan or toyota will do. Theme: Car/Motor Home
