Rise early for a wild ride off-road in a military-usage Polaris, which is a great way to see the island.<\/p>\n<p>Slather on the sunscreen for a full throttle ride in an open-air four-wheeler. The more adventurous types will want to drive it, which is optional. Just ask your guide to play navigator. Bring your water shoes and don\u2019t be afraid to get wet as you first trek through a rainforest, then across the top of a waterfall. Don\u2019t be surprised when your guide pulls out a machete and makes an impassable road passable on your way to an abandoned Palauan village. The effort is worth the stunning vista of miles of lush green hills and vibrant blue waters. Is this paradise?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8736\" src=\"http:\/\/archives.theguamguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/penthouse-crab-web.jpg\" alt=\"Penthouse Hotel Restaurant crab\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" \/>After you\u2019ve scrubbed the mud from your, well, everything, head to the city center of Koror for dinner at the locally-acclaimed <strong>Penthouse Hotel<\/strong> (penthousepalau.com). The restaurant, <strong>Uab\u2019s Table<\/strong>, may look like a conference room, but what it lacks in charm it makes up for in taste. Enjoy inexpensive, sweet Palauan mangrove crab \u2014 a steal at $6. The local spinach is perfectly saut\u00e9ed in garlic and oil, and taro leaves soup is creamy and unique. Your server may surprise you with a complimentary fruit smoothie \u2014 100% fresh and natural.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s much more to do on Palau, so savor the rest of your vacation and save up for another fantastic adventure at rainbow\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"Three Perfect Days in Palau \u2013 Day Two\" href=\"http:\/\/theguamguide.com\/blog\/three-perfect-days-in-palau-2\">&lt; Day Two<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9172\" src=\"http:\/\/archives.theguamguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jess-headshot.jpg\" alt=\"Jessica Peterson headshot\" width=\"120\" height=\"150\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/theguamguide.com\/?s=%22jessica+peterson%22\"><strong>About\u00a0Jessica<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the creator of The Guam Guide, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theguamguide.com\/?s=%22jessica+peterson%22\">Jessica<\/a><\/span> gladly wears many hats &#8212; webmaster, editor, writer, photographer, to name a few.
