Yap Island (Yap, Ngulu Atoll )
The “Floating Gardens” of Palau are like a dream world. Many tiny islands emerge from the blue-green ocean like mushrooms covered in plant life. Bizarre limestone cliffs are overgrown with thick vegetation and a colourful diversity of species lives in shimmering coral. The future of many Pacific islands is uncertain – just a few metres above sea level, they are in danger as sea levels rise. This makes the unforgettable experiences all the more valuable.
