How long is the flight to Palau?
No airlines fly directly from the United States to Palau, and the average flight is over 16 hours. Most travelers will require a flight with at least one stopover, and the most common among them are Guam, Japan, Manila, Seoul, and Taipei. All flights arrive at Airai, which is on the island of Babeldaob, the second most populated in Palau. It is home to the Roman Tmetuchl International Airport, and this connects to Koror Island (a neighboring island) via the massive Koror-Babeldaob Bridge nearby.
Which cities offer direct flights to Palau?
There are no direct flights out of the United States to Palau. However, there are several airlines that serve Palau, including Asiana Airlines, China Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Japan Airlines, and Korean Air. This means that many travelers heading to Palau will be able to depart from O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Honolulu International Airport, LAX, JFK in New York, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport. From there they will make their connecting flights in the cities mentioned above, a well as Milan, Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, and Taipei, too.
What is the best way to travel around Palau?
A preferred mode of travel in Palau is via taxi and rental car. However, driving can be a bit difficult and so it is often recommended that U.S. travelers hire a car with a driver. This is particularly true because cars drive on the right, which can be a bit confusing and even dangerous to Americans used to right-side driving in left drive vehicles. Because it is an island destination, many will travel between the islands using private boats and government boats.
What are some things to do in Palau?
Most visitors to Palau make the journey in order to enjoy the scuba diving. There are many diving parks and companies offering diving trips and support. There are fleets of expedition ships and any number of dive shops with all kinds of opportunities and for all levels. There is also the Palau International Coral Reef Center and the Etpison Museum dedicated to the country’s late president. There is a lot of shopping on Koror, and travelers eager for a memorable keepsake are encouraged to purchase one of the many handmade storyboards available in many areas of the island nation. Dining is also a must and the amazing cuisine is a fusion of the different areas of Micronesia.
Natural parks include Ngardmau Falls, Kayangel Island, Rock Islands (especially the southern lagoon), and the remarkable ancient ruins of the Stone Monoliths on Koror.
Do I need a passport or visa to fly to Palau?
Any U.S. citizen planning a visit to Palau of one year, or less, will not need a visa. However, a passport valid for at least six months is required to gain entry. As is the case in all travel scenarios, it is best to travel with air travel documents as well as valid ID and credentials.
