Two exclusive cruises will allow you to realise a diving dream : combine the mythic dive sites of The Palau Lagoon, plus a kayak excursion amongst the Rock Islands.
The lagoon of Palau is renowned as one of the most beautiful dive destinations on the planet, yet remains however an extremely protected and seldom frequented site. A large part of the lagoon has been classified as a Natural Park and is under constant surveillance by rangers and voluntary workers. Our cruise will take you through a labyrinth of islands and islets covered in rich vegetation. An unusual scenery which of course includes the famous Along Bay. You will also experience several natural wonders such as caves, archways, jellyfish lakes and hidden lagoons.
During our 10 day itinerary, we will dive in the Southern part of the Palau lagoon, then a final day of diving from Koror, before exploring The Rock Islands by kayak.
