Welcome to Kayangel! Spanning approximately 1.78 square kilometers, this enchanting coral atoll boasts pristine beaches and vibrant reefs that encircle the island, offering a breathtaking haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. Located just 25 miles from the tip of Babeldaob, it’s the place for both an avid fisherman eager to troll the crystalline waters or a curious nature lover yearning to witness pristine coral reefs and curious marine animals.
Kayangel is a hidden treasure, with only a handful of visitors exploring this remote gem due to its considerable distance from the main city. Fortunately, some operators have started offering trips to this pristine area, expanding your options to experience its beauty!
Just when you thought you had witnessed it all in Koror’s Rock Islands Southern lagoon, the reefs up north in Kayangel will astound you with their pristine condition. Dive into the crystal-clear waters and lose yourself in the breathtaking seascape.
Kayangel is home to some of Palau's finest and most secluded beaches. Unlike certain locales around the world, you won't encounter fierce waves crashing upon you. Here, you can simply delight in the tranquil beach and the calm, soothing ocean. If you think you’ve seen the bluest waters in Koror, Kayangel may prove you otherwise.
There's nothing quite as authentic to Palau as jumping onto a "flatbed" (pickup truck) for an island cruise of the land. With Lazarus, you are in good hands.
A local has converted his beach into a place of both art and conservation, with the collection of slippers that have washed ashore from neighboring countries, serving as a reminder of the devastating effects of marine debris. His remarkable efforts have been acknowledged by the Palau International Coral Reef Center, in recognition of his unwavering commitment to the conservation and management of Kayangel's precious marine resources, his support of ecotourism and for inspiring everyone that even a single community member can make a difference. When in Kayangel, go meet Lazarus and visit his Slippers Beach.
Fishing enthusiasts are in for a treat. This remote paradise is a haven for anglers, teeming with an abundance of fish species just waiting to be caught. What makes the experience truly special is the opportunity to learn the art of fishing from knowledgeable locals, adding an authentic touch to your fishing adventure in Kayangel.
You guessed it! This is a spot where you have the opportunity to see turtles. Plan it perfectly with Lazarus and you can see a bunch of turtles on the shore. Nevertheless, even if turtle sightings are scarce, Lazarus can lead you to this stunning location where you can unwind and savor the soothing sounds of the ocean, the swaying coconut trees, and the warmth of the sun and sand.
