Rise early to depart on a speedboat, whizzing through the majestic <strong>Rock Islands<\/strong> with their plumes of grass sprouting from limestone mushroom heads. Stop to snorkel and you may catch a glimpse of an elusive sea turtle or a family of black-tipped sharks, two- to three-feet long and as curiously cautious as you.<\/p>\n<p>Palau is also home to giant mantas with up to 20-foot wingspans, especially in the German Channel, a dive spot ascending in popularity among visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Glide through the hamlets of Long Lake on your double-occupancy kayak (let the backseat do the rowing) with its canopy of Mangrove forest shielding you from the morning sun.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/archives.theguamguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kayaker-cave.jpg\" alt=\"woman kayaking in Rock Islands, Palau\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Enjoy a packed lunch on an uninhabited island beach.

It is rumored to have rejuvenating properties for the skin, but it\u2019s really just rotting vegetation and fish waste.
