A little about Palau

National Anthem

Belau rekid

Independence Day

October 1, 1994

National Motto

"Klaloik a Belau" ("To Lead is to Serve")

Palau’s Jellyfish Lake is one of a kind.

This lake is home to millions of golden jellyfish, and you can swim among them without fear, as they have lost their stinging ability due to the lake's isolated environment.

Palau has some of the world’s oldest diving sites.

Palau is famous for its world-class diving spots, some of which have been preserved for thousands of years, offering divers a glimpse into ancient marine ecosystems.

Palau was the first nation to establish a shark sanctuary.

In 2009, Palau created the world's first shark sanctuary, protecting 600,000 square kilometers of ocean, which is about the size of France.
