Palau Adventures with the Four Seasons Explorer.

The Micronesian nation of Palau may be considered off the beaten path for most, but Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts is looking to lure luxury travellers to the untouched marine wonders of this island nation with the debut of its first "cruising resort," the Four Seasons Explorer, Palau. This stunning archipelago is a protected marine territory, with 340 islands covering half a million square kilometres, of which only nine are inhabited.

The 39-meter luxury catamaran, equipped with three decks, 10 staterooms, a lavish suite, and a range of amenities, including a PADI 5-Star Dive Centre and allows you to tailor your experiences, whether diving in renowned sites or indulging in cultural encounters on lush islands. Palau’s underwater world, with visibility up to 100 meters, offers unparalleled diving experiences with marine life and shipwrecks. Discover an underwater wonderland of stalactite caves, canyons, reefs, wrecks, drop-offs and blue holes – where vast schools of jack, wrasse, sweetlips, barracudas, batfish and tuna are shadowed by placid reef sharks, manta and eagle rays, turtles and whale sharks, while saltwater crocodiles and stingless jellyfish can be found in the lakes on the many islands.

Guests can enjoy snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and free diving, with excursions to unique sites for yoga sessions and mineral-rich mud bathing. Lush green islands offer hiking trails to hidden waterfalls, bird-watching opportunities, and glimpses into the region’s history, including remnants of World War II battles. Explore traditional meeting houses, ancient stone monoliths, and rock paintings dating back thousands of years.
