Tourist Season in Palau

Palau, due to its warm tropical climate, can be visited all year round. The best weather conditions are from December to March, when it is warm, sunny and dry - ideal weather for visiting all the islands and diving.

The months of the rainy season (June to October) also bring bright days, however, increased rains and thunderstorms can complicate your vacation somewhat.

In Palau, the diving season with good visibility (about 15 m - 30 m) lasts all year round. Then you can admire jellyfish in Jellyfish Lake, the coral reef and rich underwater flora and fauna.
