What fun things are there in Palau? Palau Travel Guide 2017

The editor has a heart to travel around the world, but due to lack of funds, he can only work busy in his own city. So fairies who can go out to play, if you want to play, you should have fun. By the way, Palau is pretty good. Itinerary Plan

I wanted to go to Palau when I was an exchange student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2014. After three years, I finally realized it~

I also got my wish and took the photo I had been longing for in Palau. Photo below! (Girls must reward themselves when they are young and in good shape~~~)

Palau is special. Most of the attractions require going to the sea, so it is not convenient to travel independently. , unless a lot of people charter a boat together (it costs a thousand dollars a day to charter a boat), they can only go out to sea in a group~2017.1.1-1.6

Six days and five nights, four full days in Palau, The following is the itinerary:

△The first day: fishing in the morning, snorkeling in the afternoon (Centennial Scallop City, mermaid waterway feeding small fish)

△The second day: Jellyfish Lake, blue Coral, Milk Hu, Shark City

△Day 3: Lover’s Bridge, Undersea Rose Garden, German Waterway, Great Fault

△Day 4: Deep Diving (Wreck, Blue Point , German waterway)

But you can stay on your own for a day and drive around the island for a day or something. Air tickets, costs, visas

Air tickets

Currently there are the following ways to go to Palau in China. The most convenient one is that you can transfer to Hong Kong and take a tour, which is cost-effective~

Cost

My mother and I chose the itinerary + flight and wine, which cost about 1-2k per person. Just like buying a plane ticket, the price varies depending on the time of departure, the number of days of stay, and the standard accommodation chosen by each person~

Since travel to Palau is all about overseas activities, independent travel prices are very expensive. (You have to charter your own boat to go out to sea, and you also have a boat driver and so on.) So you can only go with a group. We went with Manmanlang, which is also recommended by many guides. You can also book with them for underwater photography~

People who were on the same boat at the time said that the reason for choosing this company was very simple after summarizing it online

1. His tour guide is handsome (I swear this is not the reason why I chose him)

2. Delicious lunch!! (Diving, snorkeling and other water activities every day are really tiring, so eat more!)< /p>

3. The tour guides are very dedicated to help take photos and group photos ~ (remember to bring an underwater camera, if you don’t have one, we will rent it)

It turns out that the online reviews are quite accurate hahahaha.

The most important reason is that this hotel can bring you a secret jellyfish lake~

(It is true that there are currently no jellyfish in the Golden Jellyfish Lake) but what impressed me most was after going out to sea every day ginger syrup and a new mouthpiece for each person on the first day. I am very afraid of the cold, and my hands and feet get cold all the time. The ginger syrup is really considerate and delicious. If it is cloudy, rainy and windy, it will be really cold when you take the boat back.

Visa

Go directly with your passport~ Palau is visa-free. After getting off the plane and going through customs, there is a $50 departure tax, currency, and wifi< /p>

Currency

Palau uses US dollars.

If you haven’t decided on your itinerary or accommodation, prepare enough cash as the card processing fee is not cost-effective.

If you have booked an overseas itinerary and accommodation, you don’t need to bring too much cash. If you don’t buy a lot of things, around US$300 per person is more than enough~

The total necessary cash expenditure** *US$120:

Sea tax of US$50

Fishing tax of US$20 (for the tour guide)

Airport departure tax of US$50 (when leaving the country Collected by airport customs)

Other possible expenses:

Tip, rent camera, rent cold weather clothing, buy food souvenirs, etc.

wifi

Don’t worry about wifi when you come to Palau hahahaha, some hotel lobbies have paid ones, but they are extremely slow. You can enjoy the time when there is no Internet in nature~

When you arrive, the tour guide will issue a phone card with a certain amount of traffic for easy contact. You can take it back when you leave (the company we followed will provide it, but we are not sure about other places) , each family may be different) Travel tips

Clothes

1. You can prepare more bikinis, one needs 4 sets per day, or two to change~

2. You can have cold-proof clothing! You can rent it! To be honest, if it is cloudy or not cloudy, it will be a bit cold when the boat is sailing and the wind is blowing.

3. It will be more convenient to bring a waterproof bag, if you go out to sea every day , waterproof bags are more convenient to avoid getting your clothes wet

4. There are also sun protection clothes for rent, my mother looks good in them

Food

1 . Palau eats seafood to its heart’s content. The first night includes dinner. There is a seafood meal for the whole boat. I tried the big lobster and the legendary bat soup...

2. How many days are left? You can handle it yourself. There are Chinese restaurants and supermarkets in town.

Some bits and pieces of tips

1. When entering Palau, each luggage will be unpacked and inspected. Do not bring tobacco, alcohol, meat, fruits, milk, etc. that are not allowed. , the inspection is stricter

2.

You can prepare sun protection clothing, fins, and goggles by yourself (sun protection clothing can be rented, but I didn’t prepare my own fins and goggles when going to sea) Provided free of charge, different ground connections may be different) The mouthpiece tour guide will issue a new one on the first day, it is very hygienic and there is no need to worry

3. The voltage in Palau is 110V, and the sockets have two vertical sockets like those in the United States. Round mouth, two holes can be used directly in China, three holes need adapters

Get off the plane and go through customs

Pay attention to the Chinese notice above this picture, which states the precautions for luggage. and contraband, etc.

Everyone unpacked and checked

It was already very late when we arrived, and there would be a car to pick up and drop off

The same goes for going to the pier every day after that The first day on this minibus

(Fishing, Scallop City, Mermaid Waterway)

The sun was shining brightly the next morning ~ the scenery outside the window

Go to sea ~~

He Mama

Most of the boats that go out to sea are about 10 people, plus the captain and 1-2 tour guides

There are 7 people in the sea of ??Palau Color!!!

On the first day of fishing in the morning~

Everyone will be given a fishing line like this for fishing~ Lunch will be freshly cooked fish that everyone caught that day, very fresh ~~

My mother and I are impatient hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha The first fish fell ~ everyone was very excited! We took turns to take photos hahahahahahahaha

This big fish was caught by the captain of the boat. Without a captain, we would be hungry at noon hahahaha

A super big one

The tuna is cut into sashimi on the spot

Try the freshest sashimi with soy sauce

Our results~(mainly because the captain is awesome hahahaha) uninhabited island

After fishing, we went to the uninhabited island at noon, and the tour guide cooked~went snorkeling in the afternoon

This is them Secret barbecue! Incomparably delicious!!!! If you are going to Palau, please help me find out the recipe hahaha I’m drooling just thinking about it now

Our super sumptuous lunch~just caught it in the morning The fish is steamed and made into soup, so fresh and tender!

On the first day, Mommy fell in love with the small island country of Palau. The pink sun protection clothing she wore with the blue-green sea water is really beautiful ~ Scallop City

Let’s go snorkeling in the afternoon

Centennial scallop city, super big scallops, the tour guide will free dive with a diving camera to help take pictures and videos~

Guess Why are there so many small fish around~~~ Knead the bread into a small ball and feed it to the fish (it will be given to everyone). The photo effect is amazing~

Feed the small fish~

Dried scallops grow less than 1cm in a year, and they have been so big for at least a hundred years

Little Nemo~~ returned to town around five o'clock in the evening

That day The sunset was super beautiful!! It lit up half the sky red.

Go back to the hotel to take a shower and rest. A car will come to pick you up around 7 o'clock for dinner ~ a seafood feast on the first night The most worth-trying lobsters in Lao are the bat soup!

What was fished out of the bat soup...? The next day

(jellyfish lake, blue coral, milk lobster , Shark City) Jellyfish Lake

The first stop on the second day is the Jellyfish Lake that I miss!!!

An important reason for choosing the romantic trip is that they can take you to see jellyfish. !

Although the most famous golden jellyfish lake is now invisible due to the El Ni?o phenomenon, the jellyfish are hidden at the bottom of the lake, but they found another jellyfish lake. The captain made a sound on the sea and then we swam across a small The narrow path leads to an inner lake. Although there are not as many jellyfish as in the Golden Jellyfish Lake, it is already very happy to see them!! So there are some scenery, so go early if you want to go~

Lunch at the uninhabited island at noon Rest and take a break with the handsome little tour guide~ (I gained weight in the winter, so I covered my face and took a photo with him 0.0)

A hearty lunch~

The sun was shining brightly and I flew out to Mavic, but suddenly It rained heavily!!! (Palau’s weather is unpredictable) and then we lost contact. My heart dropped and I was mentally prepared to lose him. After being showered for at least five minutes, he flew back without power and was moved to tears. Although it is not waterproof, it can still be used without any problems! Hahahaha, I am so surprised.

Mom changed into a green sun protection suit today hahahahahahaha

It rained for two minutes and the sun shone brightly again. After lunch, we headed to Milk Lake~

The water is emerald green !!

The guy who leads the team will dive down and dig up a lot of mud, then pick off leaves and foreign objects, and give everyone a natural spa~ It is said that you can often find camera rings and other things hahaha

The last stop on our boat is Shark City!

(I feel that every stop in Palau is unique and I am looking forward to it)

In Hawaii in 2014 When I was there, I deliberately crossed the entire island of Oahu and ran to the North Shore to "swim with sharks". Not only did you have to be in a cage, but it was also super expensive -

This one in Palau is simply amazing. The tour guide will take the food freely. We dived to feed the sharks, and then we formed a circle like the picture below (picture from the tour guide)

The sharks were spinning underneath us, which was very exciting

**If a girl is on her period, no need Worried, the tour guide carefully prepared tampons (don’t ask me how I know...) The third day

(Lover Bridge, Rose Garden, Big Fault)

The third day is scheduled Following the photos~ These stops are very photogenic, the large fault rose garden is like a scene in a dream

Going on a boat to the sea~

The photos of beautiful women that were followed were so cool, I instantly became a Little fan girl, hahahaha, I can only worship this device

It was a cloudy day on the boat and it was very windy and a bit cold (you can bring long sleeves or rent cold-proof clothes, remember it is 10 US dollars a day)

First stop Lover’s Bridge~

It started to rain lightly

We took a break for lunch in Boracay at noon~ Although it was cloudy, my mother still had a great time< /p>

The handsome tour guide cooks lunch

It takes one day to follow and take pictures, and you can also take pictures underwater. This includes taking pictures on the island at noon. This island is particularly suitable for concave shapes, especially the dry ones by the beach. The big tree trunk has a feeling of growth and vicissitudes

Hahahahaha mother and daughter pose

I am several shades darker than my mother:)

Ma Ma wears pink sunscreen Hahahahahahahaha good girl with tender clothes

Get on the boat and prepare to go to the two stops in the afternoon - the Undersea Rose Garden and the Big Fault (both my favorites!)

Hey little one Fish said that this underwater shooting is worth it!

Photography and tour guide Felix taught me how to free dive!!! Wow Kaka is so cool

It’s actually not difficult (I don’t even know it) You are so good at swimming hahaha) The key points are: 1. Take a deep breath, dive in, and at the same time kick your legs hard. The ideal state is to be able to swim vertically at 90 degrees, but it may be crooked at first. Just find someone to straighten it and you can find the feeling.

2. If you free dive more than 5 meters, you may suffer from ear pain. To do ear pressure, just like diving, press your nose and then exhale hard, and the ear pressure will be balanced.

Although it is cloudy, I am still happy! It does not affect the effect at all (except it is a bit cold, but there is also ginger tea and hot water on the boat~)

Don’t worry if you don’t know how to free dive , it’s super cool to take pictures while snorkeling

Heading to the next stop, the big fault~ I looked at the soap flakes just now on the way, what a surprise! Looking at the equipment~ I have to worship in my heart every time

p>

It was a cloudy day when the boat sailed and there was a strong wind. This picture was captured by the beautiful photographer Sanluo who took the photo. Doesn’t it feel like a “disaster movie” hahahahahahahahaha

It’s a bit cool , my mother kept urging me to drink hot water and ginger tea.

Big fault! It’s really amazing. The cliffs on the seabed are spectacular, with all kinds of tropical fish. We also saw turtles and sharks!!! It is really easy to see sharks in Palau hahahaha. We saw them 3 times in four days.

The sea has a mysterious attraction and the fourth day of deep diving

(Wreck, Blue Point, German waterway)

On the last day, we went deep diving< /p>

I have OW, but my mother doesn’t (and she can’t swim), but he is still brave enough to try with me~ After the first dive, my mother excitedly told me that I found a starfish !

Although I was a little uncomfortable at first, especially because the ear pressure was always wrong, my mother had a great time with the help of the diving guide~ I will have the opportunity to take her to take the diving certificate together in the future~< /p>

Blue Corner! One of the top ten diving spots in the world, it lives up to its reputation!

So cool!! The current (Chinese is sea current?) here is easy to be washed away, so in Blue Corner They would hook them with a hook and quietly watch various underwater animals swimming by in front of their eyes.

There are so many cute tropical fish, many turtles, and of course sharks! But I was so excited that I actually forgot to take photos with the sharks

(Next time!)

Lunch lunch It rained heavily during the meal, but it was okay, diving is the same underwater~

The tour guide was very serious about making lunch for us at the barbecue

People from other boats nearby were eating The third dive site is the German waterway

This is a waterway dug manually

The color of Palau’s sea can be seen more clearly from the aerial photography Not too beautiful~

Return trip

The scenery on the plane

Goodbye Palau

There are so many islands, but my heart remains here End of Palau

There may not be a shopping paradise in Palau, and there may not be bustling lights, but here you can be completely immersed in nature and see the purest blue.

Feel free to integrate yourself with the sea here~

See you next time, Palau
