There are some recommended vaccinations for Palau and Canadian Travel Clinics can help you arrange these.

Medical facilities are very limited throughout Palau. The one hospital, which is in Koror, has a hyperbaric chamber with a certified operator. Serious medical conditions may require evacuation.

Mosquito-borne illnesses including Zika are present in Palau so avoid getting bitten by covering up as much as possible and using a reliable insect repellent. Women who may be pregnant or might be considering getting pregnant should avoid travelling to Palau.

Practise safe food and water precautions: stick to commercially bottled water, including in your ice cubes, and to foods that you can peel yourself or are cooked or boiled.

Your Canadian health insurance will not cover you when you leave the country, so get travel insurance before you go. Consult your provincial or territorial health authority for more information.

top Tips for travelling to Palau
