Babeldaob Interior
Dense tropical rainforests and rolling hills of Palau's largest island visible during initial climb.
Southern Lagoon
A breathtaking expanse of turquoise water and vibrant coral reefs stretching toward Peleliu.
The Rock Islands
Palau's iconic mushroom-shaped limestone islands nestled in crystalline waters, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Colonia Harbor
The administrative center of Yap, showing the intersection of modern docks and traditional Yapese geography.
Southern Yap Reef
Extensive barrier reefs and blue holes that surround the southern tip of the Yap main island complex.
This is the 'money' side for Palau. Request a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Rock Islands. Flights are often early morning; the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for the turquoise waters of the lagoons.
