The Rock Islands of Palau are a collection of over 200 small islands located in the western Pacific Ocean. The islands are famous for their unique and unusual rock formations, which were created over millions of years by volcanic activity and erosion. These unusual geological formations are surrounded by crystal-clear waters and are home to an array of stunning coral reefs and marine life.

Visitors to the Rock Islands can take a boat tour to see these geological wonders up close, and can even swim and snorkel in the clear waters. Many of the islands are also home to a variety of wildlife, including exotic birds, bats, and monkeys.

In addition to its geological wonders, the Rock Islands are also rich in cultural and historical significance. The islands have been inhabited by the local Palauan people for thousands of years and many of the islands are considered sacred by the local community.

The Rock Islands of Palau were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, recognizing the unique and exceptional natural beauty of the area. Today, the Rock Islands remain one of the top tourist destinations in Palau, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to experience their natural beauty and cultural significance.
