The Nikko Bay Tour includes Palau’s finest old growth coral forests. The shear vertical limestone walls of Nikko Bay have sheltered ancient corals from winds, waves, and wake for centuries. As a result of this cathedral-like protection the corals of Nikko Bay achieve phenomenal diversity, incredible sizes, and simply absurd formations. The corals are so delicate that we do not allow fins within this protected oasis. In addition to the world class snorkeling at Lettuce Coral Wall, Disney Lake, and Rembrandt’s Cove,
Nikko Bay also hides an amazing array of limestone marine caves, natural arches, and siphon tunnels. The protected bay is obviously a paddlers paradise. The proximity to Koror also made Nikko Bay an ideal defensive position for the Japanese during WWII. The Nikko Bay Tour includes Palau’s finest old growth coral forests.

The proximity to Koror also made Nikko Bay an ideal defensive position for the Japanese during WWII. Ron & his team of guides have been retracing the Japanese defensive plans for over a decade and have stumbled across a network of solid concrete bunkers filled with Japanese bottles, helmets, and ammunition. Nikko’s historic treasures also include WWII aircraft and sunken supply ships still hiding their military cargo. A visit to some of these forgotten sites provides a fascinating window into the dramatic conflict of WWII.
