A Floating Gateway to Palau’s Marine Wonders
Discover UNESCO Lagoons and Rare Marine Life
Board the FS Palau Explorer and step into a marine paradise where turquoise lagoons shimmer between UNESCO World Heritage Islands. Glide past harmless jellyfish, watch elusive mandarin fish dart in coral gardens, and dive into legendary sites like Blue Corner and German Channel.
Here, more than 600 coral varieties form a kaleidoscopic world beneath the surface:
- Stalactite caves and blue holes
- Reef drop-offs patrolled by reef sharks and manta rays
- Lakes where stingless jellyfish drift in golden light
Every dive or snorkel feels like uncovering a hidden chapter of nature’s greatest masterpiece.
Freedom to Embark Any Day
Unlike traditional cruises, this luxury floating resort offers daily embarkations with no minimum stay, allowing you to tailor your journey. Whether you join for a single day of diving or a week of island-hopping, each itinerary blends water adventures with cultural encounters.
Culture and Spirit of the Pacific’s Last Frontier
Traditions Rooted in Respect
In Palau, culture runs deep, woven from the heritage of Malays, Melanesians, and Polynesians, and enriched by Spanish, German, and Japanese influences. This respect for land and sea — called “omengull” — shapes every interaction, from bead money ceremonies to storytelling dances under the stars.
Visitors can experience:
- Village visits to learn age-old customs
- Traditional music sessions (beches chelitakl)
- Insight into matrilineal society where women guide the community’s future
Women at the Heart of Palau
Palauan women have long been the keepers of land, the selectors of chiefs, and the caretakers of the environment. Their leadership preserves the balance between cultural heritage and ecological well-being, ensuring that the islands’ beauty endures for generations.
Adventures Beyond the Horizon
From Jungle Trails to Secluded Shores
Each day aboard the FS Palau Explorer can unfold differently. Hike through lush rainforest to reach Ngardmau Waterfall, bathe in the mineral-rich white mud of Milky Way Lagoon, or kayak to hidden coves where the only footprints are your own.
Onshore and offshore experiences include:
- Yoga and wellness sessions in jungle surroundings
- Paddleboarding across glassy lagoons
- Private beach massages under swaying palms
