Palau Cruise Shuttles

A series of islands in the Philippine Sea, Palau is a haven for cruise goers looking to experience the region’s lush Micronesian tropics. Most cruise ships arrive to the popular island of Koror, located south of Palau’s main island and home to a boisterous port with views of colorful boats passing to and from the main docks. Port of Palau is a relatively quiet side of town with an industrial backdrop, as well as many walking-distance restaurants along the sides of the port-side Main Street upon arrival. Without extensive public transportation, transfers don’t come easy without significant planning ahead of time. Choose between an array of private rides that include the easygoing nature of simple sedans and spacious SUVs, much more convenient alternatives including meet-and-greet services that add to the beauty with your-friendly drop offs via friendly local personal diver as well as upscale views into local seafood restaurants with a spacious limousine.

When it comes to having fun, stick to what’s close by first exploring the beauty of Malakal Island, whether that means grabbing a bite from one of many festive Main Street restaurants, or discovering hidden parks and beaches just around the corner from the island. Great first impressions can be had at the large Icebox Park, located next door to a few swanky resorts and offering a tranquil pond to peer out from, while on the north end of the isle rests the much more popular Long Island Park, a tourist attraction known for its giant anchor statue and cool stone stairway that dips into crystal waters. Surrounding Long Island Park are the island’s most popular tourist attractions, from the colorful scuba tours of Fish ’n Fins Palau to the more easily accessible views at underwater creatures from Palau Aquarium - end the night with dinner somewhere close to the port, beloved options including Rip Tide Beach Bar & Grill and Kramer’s Cafe.
