When is the best time to book family activities in Palau?

Summer is peak season and the most popular boat tours fill up well in advance, so reserve your dates as early as you can once your travel plans are fixed. June and September usually mean warmer water with lighter crowds, while July and August offer the calmest sea but the busiest harbours. Morning departures tend to suit younger children better.

How do we choose between the different boat tours from Palau?

Start with how long your family is happy to be on the water: full-day trips cover more islands, while shorter outings leave the afternoon free. Catamaran and sailboat tours are steadier and roomier for small children, dinghy tours get closer to hidden coves, and lunch-included options remove the need to pack food.

About Lu Palau/Palau

Palau sits on Sardinia's northern coast, a small harbour town where the ferry to La Maddalena leaves and the granite islands of the archipelago begin just offshore. For families, that means short crossings, sheltered swimming and boats that do the navigating for you — the La Maddalena Archipelago Catamaran Tour from Palau with Lunch is an easy, spacious way to spend a day on the water, while the La Maddalena Boat Tour: 4 Islands in One Day from Palau packs several stops into a single outing. Ashore, the palm-lined seafront and the short walk up to the Roccia dell'Orso keep younger travellers

Frequently asked questions

The archipelago's islands lie close to Palau's harbour, so boat trips involve short crossings rather than long spells at sea, and many tours include lunch and swimming stops in calm, shallow bays. Catamarans and larger boats give children room to move, and departures from Palau mean no complicated transfers with luggage, pushchairs or tired kids.
