Palau is like an underwater Safari, complete with Lion(fish), Tiger(fish) Zebra(fish) and fish that look like Elephants, except for the long trunks, huge ears, and big, flat feet... come to think of it, none of the fish looked like elephants. But the diversity of underwater sealife is so abundant, you can find more species in the ocean than in a college fraternity's kitchen sink. Situated near Indonesia, just seven degrees north of the equator in the Pacific Ocean, the country is composed of thousands of islands. I spent two weeks in this Pacific Paradise with Wilderness Travel, kayaking around the scenic Rock Islands, where hundreds of luxuriant limestone islands jut straight up from aquamarine seas like a jack-in-the-box on Christmas morning. (Except that they don't actually move when they jut.) (The islands, that is.)

I don't scuba dive, but I can snorkel with the best of them... at least, the best of the other tourists... and swimming in these protected waters, exploring Palau's unique marine lakes, mangrove forests, sea grass beds, and coral gardens, provided for excellent photography, not to mention an ample supply of seafood.

Yes, Palau is very much like Fantasy Island, the extremely campy TV series from the 1970s. This made for ample opportunity to yell out at the sky, "Da Plane! Da Plane!", and not be laughed at. Yet, hidden among the gorgeous, pristine beaches lies a history that will never be forgotten: the Pacific theater of World War II. Palau was where American Marines fought tirelessly for over 30 days to take control of the islands from the Japanese, at which point, many experts believe, the beginning of the turning point for the war took place. As a consequence, numerous American and Japanese war artifacts are scattered everywhere, along with monuments.
