Palau Kayak & Dive Liveaboard Expedition

Overview

Ever dreamed of finding a hidden paradise? That’s exactly what Palau is. This amazing spot in the western Pacific is the easternmost part of the Micronesian Islands, with over 300 limestone islands and a huge, clear lagoon. Think tropical beaches, bright blue waters, exotic birds, and some of the most incredible marine life you’ll ever see.

Join SSV for an unforgettable live aboard adventure in Palau. Aboard the luxurious Palau Siren, your floating base camp, you’ll paddle through the turquoise waters of the UNESCO-listed Rock Island Southern Lagoon, spotting sea turtles, manta rays, and even dugongs along the way.

Hike to ancient village sites and WWII relics, snorkel or dive among 700 species of coral and 1,500 species of fish. Enjoy daily activities tailored for both beginners and experienced kayakers. This trip promises a perfect blend of excitement and relaxation, set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most unspoiled marine environments.

If you rather focus purely on kayaking and camp every night (instead of staying on a liveaboard), check out the Palau Paddling & Camping Expedition tour.
