Rock Islands

Between Koror & Peleliu Atolls, Palau

The Rock Islands, also known as Chelbacheb, consist of 250 to 445 mushroom-shaped limestone islets scattered across Palau's Southern Lagoon between Koror and Peleliu atolls, covering about 42 square kilometers with peaks up to 207 meters high, formed from ancient uplifted coral reefs sculpted by erosion.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, this biodiverse archipelago features forested hills, turquoise lagoons, 52 marine lakes like Jellyfish Lake with harmless golden jellyfish, and thriving reefs teeming with sharks, manta rays, and corals, ideal for kayaking, snorkeling, and diving.

Accessible mainly by guided boat tours from Koror due to strict environmental protections, the uninhabited islands embody Palau's commitment to conservation amid a tropical climate with high humidity and heavy seasonal rains.
