Palau Aquarium
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Palau Aquarium to see fish; they come to understand what makes this archipelago, out in the vast Pacific, a true wonder of the marine world. You can start outside, where the sound of water mixes with the ocean breeze as you peer into open pools, then duck inside to discover a condensed version of Palau's legendary ecosystems, from the vibrant soft corals of the inner lagoon to the mysterious inhabitants of the deep drop-offs. It’s a place that feels both intimate and enlightening. You leave not just having seen some beautiful creatures, but with a real sense of why this entire nation protects its waters as a sanctuary.
Collection Highlights
The massive Napoleon wrasse is always a charismatic favorite in the main tank, but don't miss the surreal garden of giant clams or the mesmerizing jellyfish display that shows off their ghostly pulsing dance.
Visitor Information
It's compact enough that you can have a rich experience in an hour or two, which is perfect for a stop before or after a boat trip. Just remember your sunscreen and a hat for the outdoor sections!
Architecture & Building
The building itself is unassuming and functional, with a layout that feels more like a local research center than a flashy tourist attraction, which honestly adds to its authentic charm.
