Palau Promotes Wedding and Honeymoon Products

Palau is promoting weddings and honeymoons, including everything from underwater nuptials to an up close and personal encounter with dolphins.

Sam’s Tours, Fish ‘n’ Fins and Neco Tours all offer the opportunity to engage in underwater nuptials. Although no packaged programs exist, each tour company can provide this customizable service for those hard core divers who feel the urge to exchange their vows beneath the surface. Other available options through these vendors include a wedding on the secluded island of Peleliu at Honeymoon Beach or on board a live-aboard yacht while out at sea.

The beachside Palau Pacific Resort has hosted many couples interested in exchanging their nuptials. The Palau Pacific Resort’s wedding package includes private beach ceremony; personal wedding coordinator; transfers to and from the airport in a VIP vehicle; fresh floral arrangements/flower shower/floral wedding ring pillow; marriage certificate; bridal bouquet and groom’s corsage; Champagne toast after the ceremony; bridal beauty package; 80-minute treatment for the bride at Elilai Spa by Mandara; wedding gift especially made by Palau Pacific Resort; exclusive use of a bride’s room for preparations; gift voucher (two nights in a Ocean View Room, for a return visit, valid for one year).

Dolphins Pacific is another option, where the bride and groom can swim with dolphins, either pre- or post-ceremony as a way to commemorate the occasion. Dolphin’s Pacific Ocean Blessing package allows couples to have a private affair in the remote Emerald Lagoon alongside the dolphins. The package starts at $1,500 (eight person maximum) and includes private ceremony at Emerald Lagoon, boat transportation to and from Dolphin Bay; roundtrip land transportation from Palau Pacific Resort to venue; ceremony officiated by a Judge; mar mar, lei and bouquet; VIP red carpet and flower and candle arrangements; hair and makeup “Bridal Beauty Package” by Melusch- Dil; and photo (CD and album) services of ceremony
