Uet era Ngermeuangel (Jellyfish Lake)

Uet era Ngermeuangel is a marine lake located on Koror Island in Palau. It is known for a specific subspecies of golden jellyfish that have evolved to lose their sting, allowing visitors to swim among them. The site is also used by scientists for evolutionary biology research due to its isolated ecosystem.

Getting There

The lake is located on Koror Island. Access from the city center typically requires a combination of road transport and a short hike through the forest to reach the shoreline. Travel time varies depending on the transport method, but it generally takes around 30 to 60 minutes to reach the site from the main urban areas of Koror.

Visitors should allow approximately 2 to 4 hours for the experience. This includes the time required for the hike to the lake, the swimming session, and the return trip.
