  I honestly couldn't recommend this tour enough. My friends and I were very fortunate to have a whole boat by ourselves and we really had enjoyed the lush greenery & pristine sea life that Palau has to offer. We did around four snorkels at different spots with our guide Theo, whom is an absolute legend himself. My swimming skill is beginner level at most, and Theo was very patient and made sure I was taken care of at all times. He's also very down to earth and friendly, from a brief conversation we had while having lunch on a remote island. One excellent guide is all it takes to make a trip from being a decent experience to an exceptional one. If any, please remember to bring reef-friendly sunscreen or wear long sleeves to avoid looking red like a baked lobster afterwards. For the price conscious folks, there was a one-off fee of $114 for fuel on top of the $50 entry fee as of May 2026. If you're going to pay the fee anyways with other operators, you might as well choose the best one! All in all, thank you Neco Marine, Aida our booking agent & Theo our tour guide for making it such a memorable experience for my friends and I in Palau!

  Absolutely fantastic excursion. We would fully recommend this. The staff was very attentive and made sure everyone’s equipment fitted properly and had everything we needed. The experience itself was out of this world, please don’t miss it, even if you are a non swimmer (like I am). You can see so many beautiful fish from the boat and the islands themselves are spectacular. This company is fabulous and very trustworthy. Thanks you team Neco!

  This was insane! 6-7 hours boat tour with different (wonderful) snorkeling stops. Lunch on an island with breathtaking views. Couldn't recommend more and would do it all over again! A day that I will never forget. Just book it!

  Great service all around from staff at registration to the crew on the boat! I’ve been to the Rock Islands several times, but this was hands down the best. We got to see more during this tour than we had ever seen in the last 10 plus years. Special kudos to the boat crew - Charlie, Clayton and RJ (or was it JR?). They went out of their way to make sure all went well safely. Awesome job everyone!

• Perfect choice in Palau

  I was very happy with Neco Marine Tours. We booked 2 private tours with them - Rock Islands/Jellyfish lake and Peleliu 1/2 day WW2 tour with 2 tanks dive and both were absolute top notch service. From the beginning of our communication, when as the only tour operator from all I contacted in Palau, they provided us with a lot of information about Palau in general in advance even without knowing, whether we book with them or not; until the very end when they even reimbursed us money for not used gas in the boat. All staff was very sympathetic and kind, from agents in the office until the crew of both of our tours. We had fantastic day in Rock Islands and one of the best dive in Palau. Also, I must recommend the Peleliu WW2 tour! Very informative about such a massive and important battle! All tour guides were very attentive and both captains were pros. Also, the pricing was very reasonable for the service we got. If you seek a customer oriented experience, Neco Marine should be your choice!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Best Snorkel Experience Ever

  Neco Marine is an excellent operation. We came to Palau to snorkel. We were not disappointed. We took 4 tours with Neco Marine. The first tour we paid for the 3 person minimum. We went to some of the East side sites. The "hidden lake" was very unusual . It is reached from a tunnel with about 8 inches of clearance. My snorkel was scraping the ceiling of the tunnel. In the lake, we saw many Golden Jellyfish. We were told there were very few in the actual Jellyfish lake. The included lunch was excellent. We had the grilled fish bento box. The next 3 tours were of the Rock Islands. Joel was an excellent guide. He spotted 4 Manta Rays in the German Channel. The Best Snorkel day ever.

  Neco marine is a very professional outfit. They were most helpful to me as I am a disabled person, almost 80. I was able to do everything, sometimes with a little physical assistance of the staff which was most gracious in their attitude.

  We did a full day tour yesterday with Neelio (maybe misspelled his name.sorry) as guide and Tim as boat pilot. We could not have asked for a better day. Thank you guys. I 100% recommend Neco.
