It is a slippery walk to the lake. Wear good shoes. The Palauans told me that the lake used to be full but now it is 1/3 full. They attribute it to the sunscreen we are using that polutes it.

This was the highlight of our recent trip to Palau. Nothing can prepare you for the thrill of jellyfish bouncing off your body like floating marshmallows.

Must go in Palau. We went twice. It is really amazing. Swimming with so many crystal like and yet soft creature. HIghly recommend you to bring a camera and a underwater case to take photos and video when you go. Better to go when there is good sunlight.

Go around noon time, if you can control that part of your day. Only downside is one has to wonder what the overall impact of all the tourists will be on the overall ecosystem. Use caution... More
