Trip

  • Dive resort
  • Palau
  • 22 Jun - 02 Jul, 2021, 10 nights
  • 40 - 50 people group

Description

Palau is an incredibly unique country and should be on every diver’s bucket list. This island is truly is one of the best diving experiences in the entire world.  If you travel with kids Palau is perfect for families. As far as family vacations go, it may be one of the best dive adventures Kids Sea Camp offers during the year. The memories and adventures created on this trip are priceless make it a stunning family vacation.

WHY? Palau has some of the best shark diving in the world. The local government has made the entire island a shark sanctuary. Also, Sam’s Tours is the leader for PADI training on the island. Sam’s Tours takes divers of all ages and skills and gets them in the water — with all types of marine life. In fact, there is no “real” excuse for any diver not to take this remarkable journey to the eighth wonder of the world. 

Future dates for the adventure of a lifetime

2022: July 5th to 15th (10-nights)
2023: July 1st to 15th (10-nights)

The reef is home to more than 1,300 species of fascinating fish, 700 species of colorful coral, and approximately 130 rare sharks and stingrays. Palau is recognized for being the world’s first shark sanctuary. Palau’s Southern Lagoon has earned a place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Palau’s diverse marine and terrestrial ecosystems are perfect for families because they cater to all levels of divers, and can also be enjoyed by non-divers.

Palau is rich in WW II history with hikes to wartime artifacts and shipwrecks and sunken airplanes in as little as 8 feet of water. Everyone can experience the history and culture of this destination. Parents and kids can dive into the old relics and have the opportunity to dive the German Channel. They may encounter manta rays at a cleaning station, or perhaps even see sharks, turtle or dolphins on almost any single dive. Palau should be on every diver’s “Bucket List.”

The beauty of Palau lies in its pristine water and islands: untouched, uninhabited and unaffected by man. Sam’s Tours, very much like the Palauan nation, respects and appreciates nature, and does what it can to preserve it as such. Our environmental efforts are part of our holistic approach and ties to our philosophy of being part of the community.

Unfortunately, Palau does not have a recycling facility for paper. Thus, Sam’s Tours does what it can to minimize waste impact: They do not use any disposable plastic bottles and lunch is served in reusable containers. Sam’s provides each guest with a personal reusable water bottle for the duration of their stay at Sam’s (and it’s a great souvenir to take home!). They have a triple filtration system onsite, and safe to drink water. Due to the environmental impact, Sam’s Tours no longer offer canned soft drinks; instead, they offer ice-tea, lemonade, and juices in reusable cups.

Sam’s tour is are a zero trace tour operator; the lunch break is normally served at one of the incredible Rock Islands, where Sam’s bring their own food to and take all trash from. The lunches are prepared by a local vendor, Dragon Tei. Sam’s Tours does what they can to minimize the use of plastics to protect our environment, using reusable plastic containers and serving the meal with paper napkins and wooden chopsticks to reduce the use of plastic and paper. 

Sam’s have, and enforce, environmental rules for diving; these include no touching or feeding of marine life (corals of fish), not littering on islands or off the boat, and no gloves policy.
