*Nikko Bay Tour
Located in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nikko Bay is home to some of the most diverse coral reefs on planet earth. Surrounded by the cathedral-like limestone walls, Nikko’s coral reefs have been spared the ravages of surf, surge, and storm damage for millennia. Delicate baskets & colorful brain corals light up the shallows with their fluorescent glow. Accessible only via kayak marine caves, tunnels, and archways create a paddler’s delight. Nikko’s protected bay insures calm water paddling under any climactic condition. For history enthusiasts, Nikko Bay also hides WWII bunkers, encampments, and forgotten aircraft. Our naturalist guides bring history to life in the shadows of this epic Pacific Theater battle ground.

Please note that the Koror State Government requires all visitors to have a permit for any water tour activity. The regular Rock Island permit cost $50.00 per person is already included in your tour.

Children:
For ages 1-7 years old, the parent can paddle their kids or can sit on their lap. If 8 years old and above, if they would like to paddle their own kayak full fees apply.

Tips on what to bring on the tour:
1. Rashguard with a high SPF rating to wear for snorkeling, swimming, and paddling.
2. Underwater camera. You’ll want to record your epic adventures as well, and thus we’ll recommend Go Pros or similar waterproof cameras. Palau’s climate is very tough on sensitive electronics, so be cautious with an SLR.
3. Lightweight Hat. Brim hat for the sun (with strap). Hats with capes over the neck offer much-needed sun protection.
4. Sunglasses. Polarized shades are ideal for blocking the bright sun.
5. Sun screen. On January 1st, 2020 Palau became the first country to ban sunscreen that is known or suspected to be reef-toxic. Only mineral sunscreens that exclusively list zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide as their active ingredients and do not contain parabens, triclosan, triclocarban, or phenoxyethanol are allowed. All sunscreens manufactured by members of the Safe Sunscreen Council meet Palau’s sunscreen requirements. The sun can be very intense—be sure to bring enough. Unsure about your sunscreen? You can always purchase right here on the island!
6. Waterproof Bag. Protect your personal items from getting wet.
7. Good Foot Protection. This is important as some sites is not barefoot friendly. We prefer toe protected Keens over open toed Tevas.
8. Water bottle. Please bring your own water bottle as we’ll have a water in an igloo on the boat. Refill is available on the boat.
9. Snorkeling gears. We have snorkeling gears available for rent but you are welcome to bring your own mask, snorkel, and fins.
10. Waterproof case for your mobile phones
