Four Seasons Explorer is setting sail for one of the world’s last remaining frontiers later this year. Hidden in a remote part of the mighty Pacific, Palau–home to more than 340 emerald islands, is an astonishing spectrum of marine life, and a 4,000-year-old culture still sustained by the local knowledge of 20,000 traditionally minded people – the most vital element of the unique Palauan culture.
Referred to as one of the Seven Underwater Wonders of the World, Palau offers glorious opportunities for divers and snorkellers.
With only 9 of the country’s 340 islands inhabited, opportunities for raw natural adventure abound, while deep cultural immersions range from insights into the rich Palauan dance tradition to intriguing exploration of WWII sites, symbolic bai meeting houses, and centuries of Spanish, German, Japanese and American influences.
With a draft of 1.9 metres (6.23 feet), Four Seasons Explorer can access locations that larger vessels can’t reach. Four Seasons Explorer operates like a floating resort, offering daily embarkations and disembarkations, allowing up to 22 guests to explore as deeply—and for as long–as they wish.
