About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- zuzatravels0 contributionsPerfect choice in PalauI was very happy with Neco Marine Tours. We booked 2 private tours with them - Rock Islands/Jellyfish lake and Peleliu 1/2 day WW2 tour with 2 tanks dive and both were absolute top notch service. From the beginning of our communication, when as the only tour operator from all I contacted in Palau, they provided us with a lot of information about Palau in general in advance even without knowing, whether we book with them or not; until the very end when they even reimbursed us money for not used gas in the boat. All staff was very sympathetic and kind, from agents in the office until the crew of both of our tours. We had fantastic day in Rock Islands and one of the best dive in Palau. Also, I must recommend the Peleliu WW2 tour! Very informative about such a massive and important battle! All tour guides were very attentive and both captains were pros. Also, the pricing was very reasonable for the service we got. If you seek a customer oriented experience, Neco Marine should be your choice!Written January 21, 2025
- charles63460 contributionsBest Snorkel Experience EverNeco Marine is an excellent operation. We came to Palau to snorkel. We were not disappointed. We took 4 tours with Neco Marine. The first tour we paid for the 3 person minimum. We went to some of the East side sites. The "hidden lake" was very unusual . It is reached from a tunnel with about 8 inches of clearance. My snorkel was scraping the ceiling of the tunnel. In the lake, we saw many Golden Jellyfish. We were told there were very few in the actual Jellyfish lake. The included lunch was excellent. We had the grilled fish bento box. The next 3 tours were of the Rock Islands. Joel was an excellent guide. He spotted 4 Manta Rays in the German Channel. The Best Snorkel day ever.Written January 15, 2025
- teresawX6064WT0 contributionsNeco Marine: Elevating the Palau Diving ExperienceHow do I even begin to write this review? Thinking about my trip to Palau with Neco Marine makes me want to book another flight immediately. Palau's underwater world is truly breathtaking, but diving with Neco Marine took the experience to a whole new level. The crew was incredibly organized, ensuring that our gear was always ready and our meals were satisfying. The boat was well-equipped, including a medical kit, which came in handy when I accidentally cut myself. Captain Fraser quickly cleaned and treated the wound. Juel, our calm and attentive dive guide for the first two days, pointed out many small creatures hidden in the coral. He was thoughtful enough to lend me his dive coat when I got cold and even remembered to bring extra for the following days. Miyles, our other dive guide, was truly exceptional. With years of experience, he's the kind of guide everyone wants to dive with. As our back dive guide, he kept a watchful eye on our group of eight, always ready to assist. On our third day, he led the dive, expertly guiding us and pointing out marine life like leopard sharks and manta rays. Miyles was also skilled at giving clear and concise dive briefings, and he's quite the artist when it comes to drawing dive site maps. At the end of the trip, we all agreed that the experience wouldn't have been the same without his guidance. We had so much fun and felt incredibly safe under his care. A big thank you to Miyles and the entire Neco Marine team. We fell in love with Palau, and we definitely plan to come back and dive with Neco Marine again!Written November 5, 2024
- joemccarthysghost0 contributionsA Great DayWe did a full day tour yesterday with Neelio (maybe misspelled his name.sorry) as guide and Tim as boat pilot. We could not have asked for a better day. Thank you guys. I 100% recommend Neco.Written July 30, 2024
- ee23300 contributionsAn incredible day you'll never forgetNilio and Captain Charlie were beyond excellent guides - very knowledgable and flexible around accommodating our wants/needs. Each site we visited was breathtakingly beautiful and we got to stay at each for just the right amount of time. The reef sharks at Shark City and our stunning island beach lunch spot were a huge highlight. Would recommend this tour to anyone in an instant!Written March 17, 2024
- Sharon W0 contributionsGreat dive shop and customer service!We came to Palau on a very limited schedule on a cruise and really wanted to dive. I corresponded with Olivia several weeks before our arrival, and she assured me they could work with our limited time. All I can say is they delivered! They had a van waiting for us as soon as we got off the ship, fitted us with equipment, and off we went. We were able to get in 2 great dives (we had to cut our last dive a bit short), but they dropped us off at our tender stop exactly when we requested. Such great and personal service! I highly recommend Neco Marine and Olivia as a contact as well as a superb DM!Written March 15, 2024
- spyroo20210 contributionsBest diving of my lifeDiving with Neco Marine, I managed to fit in 42 dives over 19 days. These included amazing wall dives, wreck dives, cavern dives, night dives, drift dives, macro dives and just an amazing array of different options that blew my mind in one single part of the world. I also got to join along on a land tour of Peliliu, as well as what I have wanted to do for 12 years, which is visit the famous Jellyfish of Palau. I have over 3000 dives over the last 12 years and nothing has ever compared to the diving I did here. Diving with Olivia (Liv) was an immense pleasure. She is so knowledgeable and safety and detail oriented that you knew you would not only have amazing dives, but learn something on every dive too. The ability she has to show you a variety of different wildlife and topography is unparalleled. I got to buddy along with Mandy too, to look for the macro that is everywhere, though overshadowed by the amazing big life in the area. When you see sharks on every dive, it is nice to also slow down and look for the critters hiding in the holes too. She brought us out to the German Channel, as she had been watching the tides and we had a spectacular last day with 6 manta rays just wheeling away in the morning. Juel is a superstar and never stops working and trying to give you an amazing time. How his eyes can spot all the little creatures he does is beyond me, as I have made it a habit to be the person who finds the little guys, but he puts me to shame. He is always there, busting his ass to get everything ready, while having a massive smile and looking super excited to go for every dive. Clayton has dived in Palau for his entire life, and you can see it. We went out for a snapper spawning morning dive and there were about 10 boats out there and all of them had their eyes on Clayton, waiting until he gave the OK for us to enter the water as he spotted where and when the activities started. Iked is a pleasure to dive with and discuss diving and the world at large with. It was unfortunate that he was so busy while I was there, as I would have loved to join him on some more photography dives. The captains, Tim and Fraser were great. Always got us to and from our dive sites so smoothly and were always right on hand to pick us up regardless of where the current brought us. And a pleasure to share the boat with each day.Written November 17, 2023
