Cheap flights to Koror

Koror overview

Quite simply, Koror is a fantastic destination for those looking to experience an island paradise. Amazing beaches, crystal clear blue water, the scenery really is picture perfect. Of course, the fact that it is an island means there are plenty of opportunities for all manner of water sports and activities. It is worth noting that some hotels include scuba diving trips in their prices, so check to see what offers are available when booking. One of the most popular aquatic destinations is Jellyfish Lake, where visitors can quite literally swim with jellyfish – thankfully, they are the non-stinging variety! Mandarin Fish Lake is another wildlife-filled lake and is ideal for a spot of snorkelling. To learn more about the history and culture of the islanders, many tourists spend some time at the Belau National Museum. Opened in 1955, it houses a number of Palauan art works, archaeological pieces and Second World War memorabilia.
