Attraction Highlights
Ngardmau Waterfall
Located about 40 minutes from Koror on the slopes of Mount Ngerechelcchuus, this waterfall is often called "Angel Falls" by locals because the water cascading down the cliffs resembles a pair of angel wings. The 30-minute trek to the falls takes you through river valleys, lush forests, and across suspension bridges. You'll also pass abandoned WWII-era railway tracks and enjoy a natural stream spa in the Ngertebechel River. While the waterfall itself is modest in size, the rich, diverse ecosystem makes you feel like you've stepped into a Ghibli-esque paradise.
* Basic shower facilities are available at the entrance to Ngardmau Waterfall.
KB Bridge
Also known as the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge, the KB Bridge is the only land connection between the states of Koror and Babeldaob. There are parks on both sides of the bridge equipped with barbecue grills, playgrounds, and water slides. It’s a popular local spot for night markets, speedboat races, national day celebrations, and weekend relaxation.
Lunch at a Seaside Restaurant (Full-day tour only / Self-pay)
A hidden gem of Palauan cuisine! Located in the remote northern part of the island and closing at 3:00 PM, this local, family-run seaside restaurant is off the radar for most tourists. It offers great value, delicious food, and a stunning view of the blue ocean. It’s the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy a meal that only the locals know about.
Palau Capitol Building — The "Little White House" (Full-day tour only)
Funded by the Taiwan government and inspired by the design of the U.S. Capitol, this building is affectionately nicknamed the "Little White House" by locals. Although it serves as the political center of Palau, it’s quite secluded, far from the city, and rarely hosts administrative activities. While you can't easily enter the building itself, the grounds are open to the public, making it an unexpectedly popular spot for photos.
Surangel's Supercenter (Full-day tour only)
Opened in September 2022, Surangel's Supercenter is currently the largest shopping mall in Palau.
