Our island hiking tours offer a unique opportunity to experience the historical and biological value of Palau, while exploring the Rock Islands.

Planet Blue offers tours to the German Lighthouse and archaeological hiking Ulong Island tours. Both tours include an optional snorkeling stop, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Rock Islands, as well as Palau's beautiful reefs. 

 

Ulong Island Archaeology Tour

As the greatest archaeological treasure of the Rock Islands, Ulong Island tells tales of a human history spanning over 4,000 years. The people of Palau’s Rock Islands had firmly established a presence on Ulong Island, where remnants of their defensive walls and a terraced village are still found below the rich tropical forest canopy. Ulong's world class tropical beaches, sheltered blue lagoons, and towering limestone peaks are sites to behold during this historical tour. This tour includes a snorkeling stop in one of Palau's spectacular sites in the outer reef.

A fun experience for all ages, this tour focuses on the beautiful nature of the Rock Islands, as well as on WWII history. An easy hike up to an old German lighthouse, strewn here and there with old cannons, this tour walks you through botanical wonders while offering excellent birding opportunities of Palau's endemic species! This century old lighthouse sits on top of the tallest peak in the Rock Islands. This is the best opportunity to explore Palau’s botanical and ornithological wonders in addition to the historical sites.
