Thetraveljunkie.org – Palau, a hidden paradise in the Pacific, offers some of the most breathtaking landscapes and scenic drives in the world. In this episode of our travel series, we take you on a cinematic road trip from Downtown Koror to Ngardmau Waterfall, passing through the Palau Japan Friendship Bridge and the untouched beauty of Babeldaob Island. This 4K adventure captures the essence of Palau’s landscapes, from coastal roads to dense tropical rainforests, making it a must-watch for travel enthusiasts. Our journey starts in Koror, the heart of Palau, where island life blends seamlessly with modern conveniences. The roads here are lively, lined with small shops, local markets, and everyday activities of the Palauan people. As we leave the urban energy behind, the scenery quickly transforms into open coastal roads with stunning ocean views. The fresh island breeze and the sound of waves create a relaxing drive as we approach our first major highlight—the Palau Japan Friendship Bridge.
The Palau Japan Friendship Bridge, a striking architectural masterpiece, connects Koror to Babeldaob Island. This bridge, stretching over 400 meters, provides a breathtaking perspective of the turquoise waters below. Crossing it feels like entering another world, where nature dominates the landscape. The contrast between Koror’s developed cityscape and Babeldaob’s untouched wilderness becomes clear as we make our way into Palau’s largest island.
Babeldaob is a world of its own—vast, green, and nearly unspoiled. The roads here are peaceful, winding through rolling hills, thick forests, and traditional Palauan villages. Along the way, we catch glimpses of the island’s rich cultural heritage, from ancient stone pathways to traditional thatched-roof houses. The further we drive, the deeper we immerse ourselves in the island’s untouched beauty, with every turn revealing new scenic vistas.
As we near Ngardmau Waterfall, the road becomes more rugged, hinting at the adventure ahead. The entrance to the waterfall is surrounded by dense jungle, where a short trek leads us to one of Palau’s most spectacular natural wonders. The sound of cascading water grows louder as we walk, and soon, we arrive at the breathtaking sight of Ngardmau Waterfall, the tallest in Palau. With its powerful stream plunging into a refreshing pool below, it’s the perfect destination to end this scenic drive.
This one-way journey from Downtown Koror to Ngardmau Waterfall offers a glimpse into Palau’s diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
