Jellyfish Lake & Rock Islands by Private Boat

Snorkel among millions of stingless golden jellyfish in a marine lake found nowhere else, then thread a private boat through the mushroom-shaped Rock Islands UNESCO seascape.

What to expect

You'll be picked up by boat from Koror and cruise 45 minutes through the Rock Islands before a short jungle walk to the hidden marine lake. In the water, thousands of jellyfish brush harmlessly against you in a surreal, silent encounter. The afternoon continues with stops at secluded lagoons, a milky-way mud spa, and snorkeling over pristine reef, all set at your own pace.

Booking
We have not yet verified a bookable operator and price for this one.

Good to know

Permits (Rock Islands + Jellyfish Lake) are mandatory and included; book at least a few weeks ahead in high season. Return to port with 90 minutes to spare before all-aboard given weather-dependent boat timing.
