Palau Liveaboard Itineraries

Set sail in the oasis of Palau, a remote archipelago of 340 islands in the Pacific Ocean. This isolated country hosts an astonishing spectrum of biodiversity and abundance of life providing diverse diving experiences and intriguing underwater landscapes. Divers will explore magical blue holes, captivating wartime wrecks, action-packed channels, and pristine coral reefs. These waters are home to over 1400 species of fish, together with countless species of sharks and manta rays, dolphins, and whale sharks.

Divers can choose from three 7 or 10-night itineraries; the Classic Palau itinerary will introduce you to the magic of the entire destination while the Spawning Special itineraries are scheduled to coincide with the phases of the moon to provide opportunities to catch the spawning aggregations of the bump head parrotfish and the red snapper. Acclaimed Palau consistently ranks as one of the world’s best diving destinations, and offers a vacation odyssey you will never forget!

UPDATE on Jelly Fish lake (December 2022): Due to the exceptional weather conditions, the Golden Jellyfish population has seriously decreased since October 2021, as explained on the Palau Visitors Authority website. We will follow closely and keep you posted on a regular basis. Despite this, we will continue to offer the Jelly Fish lake snorkeling experience during our trips, as many Moon jellyfish can be still seen.

Check-in usually starts at 4:00 pm on the day of boarding; Transfers can be provided until midnight, as the boat will leave the harbor on the next morning. Check-out starts at 8:00 am on the day you disembark. (The boat will be back to the harbor in the afternoon on the day before disembarkation). 

Each itinerary is set on a day-by-day basis, depending on the sea conditions, the attendance at each dive site, the fish activity, and the daily logistics, according the Captain’s and Cruise Director’s discretion. Your safety is our priority. While we cannot control factors that may affect the planned itinerary, we will do our best to offer alternate solutions in order for you to get the maximum experience out of the beauty of Palau Islands.
