DAY TOURS - RISONG BAY
Hidden within Risong Bay's arm-like walls, six secretive pockets of bays and lagoons allow kayaks to easily pass through tunnel entrances to shallow lakes and bays where speed boats just can't reach. For millennia, these bays have served as nurseries for baby sharks, stingrays, and eagle rays. As we paddle quietly amongst these youngsters, they hone their hunting and feeding skills before they graduate to the outer reef. Our Risong tours also take you to pristine coral gardens such as Blue Devil Gardens and the Sunken City . Undisturbed by divers or fisherman, these habitats are rich marine biodiversity centers bursting with baby butterfly fish, honeycomb groupers, and the unusual crocodile fish.
The tranquil waters of Risong also allow us to explore the unusual botanical wonders of our remote archipelago. Dragon Palms strive to reach out past all other competitors for life-giving sunlight while treacherous pitcher plants wait anxiously for their next insect meal. For
centuries Palauans have utilized this botanical cornucopia for their medicines, dyes, and poisons.
Risong's grand finale, a turquoise oasis known as Mandarin Fish Lake treats paddlers and snorkelers to the ultimate tropical haven. After winding through a channel filled with pink sea fans, you will enter crystal blue waters purified by a natural limestone filter. Separated from the world, we swim amongst Pajama Cardinal Fish, Red Breasted Wrasse, Colorful Clams, and the lake's name sake, the unforgettable multi-colored Mandarin Fish.
