The short 6 minute hike up/down the tree slope (3 minutes each way) is easy to do. The concrete stairs and metal railing make for a safe and accessible path to the landlocked lake. The wooden pier at the lakeside has an easy stairs like at public pools, so you can descend into the lake slowly & safely. There are... More

This was my third visit to Jellyfish Lake - and I had a video camera with me this time. It was just wonderful! I went in with just my swimsuit on - no wetsuit - so I could feel the velvety soft jellyfish touching me. A must-do in Palau.

Palau might be a tad expensive, but Jellyfish lake is a must! It is amazing to swim with the Jellyfish, eventhough it can be freaky at first. If you have the opportunity i can only recommend that you try it out! Heard rumours that they might be closing it down in the near future, to protect the jellyfish.

If you can visit on a sunny day the jellyfish will rise to the service and meet you! Good to wear a tshirt if it is sunny as no sunscreen is allowed. Trust me - there is nothing like this anywhere else in the world!!!

Millions of non-stinging jellyfish! A little bit of a hike up the hill and down to the lake but totally worth it. I was glad they had steps built into the hill and handrail ropes.

It is quite an ethereal feeling to be floating around millions of jellyfish. One cannot miss this opportunity...whatever the cost... We were pleased to see how Palau guards and protects this particular location. A must...

First thing you should know is wear your hiking sandals not your dive booties, I got blisters from dive booties rubbing while wet. The hike is only 15 minutes but it is very steep with steps so high a small person has to really reach step after step up the mt. then back down into the lake. The hike is... More

We got lucky and was abel to do Jelly Fish Lake twice. It is one expierence you will never forget. If time allows snorkle on the left side of the ocean side dock after your trip up and over the hill to the lake. Sixty-five steps up to the ridge and 74 down to the lake.

Since my wife didn't dive with us, this was the tour for her. It's pricy ($100 fee to the government on top of the tour money), but it was worth it. We have seen jellyfish at aquariums, but to swim with them and watch them from inches away, it was incredible. On the swim across the lake, we saw our... More
