Palau: Jellyfish Lake; things to do

Jellyfish Lake in Palau


In a stunning daily migration, five million jellyfish glide across the surface of Palau’s Jellyfish Lake to follow the eastward-streaming morning sun and the westward-streaming afternoon sun. Then, at night, the jellyfish sink down 45 feet to absorb nutrient-rich bacteria, which the algae in their bodies require to survive.

  2. Do they sting, or can you swim with them?

  3. People do swim with them. I'm not sure if they are always safe, or if they sting at certain times of the year. Anyone else know?
