Ulong Island, Remote island in western Palau
The limestone cliffs of Ulong Island rise from clear waters, surrounded by coral reefs and containing numerous caves with ancient paintings.
In 1783, British captain Henry Wilson and his ship Antelope wrecked near Ulong Island, leading to the first documented contact between England and Palau.
Archaeological excavations across Ulong Island reveal 4,000 years of human history through clay pottery fragments, defensive walls, and terraced settlement remains.
Visitors reach Ulong Island by boat from Koror in 45 minutes, with options for kayaking, snorkeling, and camping expeditions around the limestone formations.
The waters around Ulong Island contain one of the largest known concentrations of green lettuce coral, plus a 500-meter channel with giant clams.
