Palau - A visit to Taki Eco Theme Park

Surprisingly, for a small, hilly, but not mountainous island chain, Palau has several waterfalls. The most well-known and visited waterfall is Ngardmau Waterfall. At the waterfall area, there is Taki-Palau Eco Theme Park. The theme park offers 3 ziplines along the descent from the parking area to the waterfall, and a monorail train that also descends to the waterfall site. Ngardmau State collects a $10 fee to visit the fall, then visitors can pay extra for the fun theme park options to descend or take the lovely walking trail that follows some historic rail tracks from former bauxite mining and over some rocky cascades on the way. The fall doesn’t have a pool for swimming, but forms a bridal-veil-type falls that people can walk under for a refreshing massage, and a pleasant view of nature. We thank Hiroyuki Tanaka for the waterfall tour that Dolphins Pacific offers to visitors in addition to visits to their dolphin research center. Filmed in February 2015.
