Diving
The crown jewel of things to do in Palau, diving is a world-class experience for visitors to Palau. COVE Resort Palau is within walking distance of some of the best diving tour operators: NECO Marine Tours, Sam's Tours, and Impac Tours. On a scuba diving adventure, divers can expect to explore fascinating coral formations, reef corners where sharks hang out, rays and schooling fish, channels and other sandy bottom sites, tunnels, caves, and caverns. Keep in mind that Palau is considered an advanced diving destination, due to frequent currents and depths, but there are several easy dive sites for beginners, too.
Sea Kayaking
Tour Rock Islands on a Palau kayak while exploring one of the most diverse and pristine marine ecosystems in the world. Explore a variety of different habitats, pristine coral gardens, reef fish nurseries, secluded lagoons, marine caves, limestone tunnels, WWII sites, historic Palauan villages, and stunning tropical beaches.
Snorkeling
Three major ocean currents feed this pure archipelago in the western Pacific, making it a fertile marine garden whose turquoise waters are teeming with rich sea life. The area is revered for its secluded coves, marine lakes, and sunken World War II relics, all must-sees on a snorkeling adventure.
Sports Fishing
Palau's turquoise waters are teeming with big jacks, Spanish mackerel, or the ultimate game fish, gigantic Marlin. Thanks to a variety of traditional conservation methods, there are healthy fish populations. Team up with one of the organized fishing tours or charter a boat with seasoned crew members from any of the boat operators to begin your fishing adventure in Palau.
