Adventures

Surrounded by vibrant reefs and steeped in tradition, our Palau adventures offer a rare window into one of the world’s most pristine marine environments.

Dive among coral gardens and manta rays, explore ancient island cultures, and support a nation leading the charge in ocean conservation and sustainable tourism.

VISIT Palau

Palau is an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean, an oasis of unique flora and fauna and outstanding biodiversity. Renowned for its pristine coral reefs, Palau shelters a kaleidoscope of marine life, including reef sharks, manta rays and colourful coral formations. 

Its iconic Jellyfish Lake is home to millions of stingless jellyfish and the Palauan communities remain deeply connected to the environment, maintaining unique traditions that are displayed with dancing, storytelling and ancient stone monoliths.

Engage with exemplary conservation projects, such as the Palau National Marine Sanctuary, Island Conservation’s preservation of island ecosystems and Scripps’ research of marine habitats as you discover Palau’s commitment to the safeguarding of its natural treasures and the coexistence of ecological preservation and cultural heritage.

Where travel and conservation meet

As you travel through this unique landscape, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of native species, plants and animals that are naturally found only in this region. These species are key to the health of the local ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and helping maintain nature’s balance.

Many of them face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, making conservation efforts more important than ever. By learning about and appreciating these native species, you’re also helping to protect them for future generations.

OUR FOCUS - THE IBERÁ NATIONAL PARK:

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.

In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country. 

As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.

Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
