Aerial Tours Over the Enchanting Rock Islands of Palau Tourists visiting Palau are increasingly opting for a scenic flight over the mesmerizing Rock Islands, and the allure is quite evident – this region boasts one of the most picturesque landscapes in the Pacific.
While exploring the Rock Islands on a boat tour is undoubtedly a fantastic experience, the scenic flight offers an unparalleled and unique perspective that’s hard to surpass.
I recently embarked on one of these flights aboard a small propeller plane with Pacific Mission Aviation, and the entire adventure was truly remarkable.
During the flight, they remove the doors to provide unobstructed photo opportunities. The journey starts with a bird’s-eye view of Koror, followed by breathtaking vistas of Palau’s myriad islands, lakes, and lagoons. It’s like a journey through paradise!
