Things to do in Palau

Palau's harbour is the main departure point for the Maddalena archipelago, a 15-minute crossing away, so most people treat the town itself as a place to catch a boat rather than linger in. Before you go, it's worth the short walk up to Roccia dell'Orso, a granite outcrop weathered into the shape of a bear with views straight across the strait to the islands and Corsica beyond. Below are the top-rated boat tours departing Palau.
