Planet Blue Kayak Tours
Kayak Tour Sites
Sam's Tours offers four different kayak tours, giving you the chance to explore a variety of different habitats within Palau's Rock Islands. Learn the history of the archipelago, and open your eyes to the amazing beauty around you.
Our daily Planet Blue kayak tours are a relaxing and exciting educational experience for all- a balanced mix of paddling, snorkeling, birding, and exploring in Palau's diverse biological environment.
Nikko Bay
Nikko Bay is nestled by castle-like walls of the limestone rock islands providing calm water paddling undisturbed by wind, waves, surf or surge. This is an excellent tour for kids and adventurers. This well-sheltered bay holds pristine coral gardens with world-class snorkeling sites, hidden marine caves full of geologic wonders, and forgotten WWII bunkers and artifacts. When the tides are just right, we're able to sneak through a marine tunnel into a normally inaccessible world called Disney Lake.
Risong Bay
The tranquil waters of Risong Bay allow us to explore the unusual botanical wonders of our remote archipelago. For centuries, Palauans have utilized this botanical cornucopia for their medicines, dyes and poisons. Undisturbed by divers or fisherman, these habitats are rich marine biodiversity centers bursting with baby Butterfly Fish, Honeycomb Groupers and the unusual Crocodile Fish.
Long Lake
This tour is a naturalist's dream come true. The tour begins with a gentle ride along tidal currents through a crystal-clear mangrove forest. This effortless journey through exotic plants and mysterious sounds eventually leads us into the best birding experience in Palau: Long Lake. This long saltwater lake is a tranquil habitat for nesting birds, baby eagle rays, turtles and giant clams. We combine this experience with visits to Megapod beach, Secret Lake and the stunning waters of the Milky Way.
Tarzan Tour
For the adventure-seeker, our hand-crafted Tarzan Tour has earned its reputation as an action-packed series of quests. Beginning in the isolated Lost Lake, where we paddle through a forty-foot tunnel carpeted with pink and purple Dendronephthya soft corals, we enter a forgotten world where baby fishes dart and dash among the delicate corals of this landlocked marine lake.
