Dolphins Pacific
A dolphin interaction center built in a natural bay, where you can swim and snorkel with dolphins. It is a popular family activity in Palau.
Dolphins Pacific sits on the north end of Ngeruktabel Island, south of Koror. It opened in 2001 and uses a natural lagoon, enclosed to create a large area of seawater for keeping and training dolphins. It is billed as one of the largest dolphin research and interaction facilities in the world. Activities include close contact from the shore, shallow-water interaction, and snorkeling or diving with dolphins. Reservations are required, and prices vary by activity (roughly USD 100 to 300). It is about 10 minutes by boat from the Koror dock, and most hotels can book packages that include transfers. Some visitors have ethical concerns about captive dolphins, so consider this carefully before going.
