A day filled with activities a tour of WW2 relics like the Japanese Comms Center, a walk down the historical stone path that leads to the Chiefโs Traditional Meeting House, a stop by the Kesebekuu, Palauan war canoe and a taro patch demo to name a few.

The day began with a morning walk to the legendary Ngerchokl, the Fountain of Youth, just before lunch uncovered the ancient petroglyphs of Olebakelderau, where the tragic love story of Surech and Tulei unfolded and hiked up to Bai ra Ngeruau where it is said to be the final resting place of Surechโs head.

A more tranquil experience as we embarked on a boat ride through a maze of mangroves and arrived at the beginning of a nature trail that leads to the secluded Orsoulkesol Waterfall in Ngiwal, an untouched oasis in all its splendor.
