Jellyfish Lake

Jellyfish Lake, located on Palau’s Jellyfish Lake Marine Sanctuary, is a unique, buoyant marine environment famous for its large population of harmless jellyfish. These jellyfish have evolved to coexist in the lake’s hypersaline, low-oxygen water, losing their stinging ability over thousands of years. Visitors can snorkel among these gentle creatures without concern, experiencing close encounters with the jellyfish’s mesmerizing movements. The lake’s isolation and specific conditions create a natural, protected habitat that supports these ancient jellies, making it a notable site for both ecological research and eco-tourism.
