The Storyboard Beach Resort is a located on the Island of Peleliu, Palau, which is considered one of the best dive destinations in the world. Peleliu island is located Southwest of Koror and is approximately a 45 minute speedboat ride from Koror harbor. The island itself is approximately 8 miles long and 3 miles wide. It has a population of 600 people and the only town is the size of a small European village. The rest of the island is covered in dense jungle. To say that Peleliu Island would be the get away of get aways would be bit of an understatement, and therein lies its charm. Imagine an island where lush, green rainforest covers the hills and deserted, untouched beaches await you. An island where there is no noise from traffic. No light pollution. An island of pristine coral reefs, submerged in the clearest, warm, blue waters imaginable. This is Peleliu island.
Peleliu also has quite a historic significance. One of the bloodiest battles of World War 2 was fought on the island. When hiking through the jungle, it's quite a common occurrence to stumble across a tank, the remains of a bunker or artillery emplacement, hidden by the ever encroaching undergrowth. Adding yet another fascinating aspect to the island's charm and mystery.
Storyboard is an intimate family-owned resort consisting of six private bungalows built in the traditional island style. These simple wooden crafted bungalows are located along a white sandy beach shaded by lush tropical forest and coconut palm trees, All the bungalows are fully air-conditioned with a ceiling fan, a mini fridge, a patio and an individual bathroom with hot running water. Each cottage faces the sea for spectacular sunset views from your balcony. While on sleepy Peleliu, we suggest checking out from civilization. But, if you must stay connected, Wifi is available throughout the beachfront property with a PNCC prepaid card sold at the local convenience store.
The beauty of being out on Peleliu is your proximity to the most popular dive sites in Palau. In less than 20 minutes, divers can explore the famous Blue Hole and Blue corner, Big Drop Off, Turtle Cove and German Channel. It’s just a couple minutes to Peleliu Wall and Peleliu Corner plus Sting Ray Point. Storyboard will make the diving arrangements for you at the local dive shop.
Storyboard Beach Resort consisted of 6 cottages; each cottage sleeps two quests.
Diving & Snorkeling
Diving on Peleliu Island is known for challenging, advanced dives with strong, converging currents and an abundance of pelagic marine life like sharks, giant trevally, and barracuda, rather than just reef fish. Sites like Peleliu Wall and Peleliu Cut feature steep drops and high visibility, making them a must-do for experienced divers despite the strong, unpredictable currents.
Key Features of Peleliu Diving
Advanced Dives: Due to strong and potentially unpredictable down currents, Peleliu is recommended for experienced and advanced divers only.
Abundant Pelagic Life: Divers can expect to see large schools of pelagic fish, including giant trevally, barracuda, and a variety of sharks, such as white-tip and black-tip reef sharks.
Strong Currents: The meeting of the South Pacific and Philippine Sea currents at Peleliu creates strong, converging currents that drive nutrient-rich waters and bring in large pelagic species.
Underwater Topography: The dive sites feature underwater walls, plateaus, and cuts, with reefs dropping dramatically into the deep blue.
High Visibility: Visibility is often excellent, ranging from 50-150+ feet (15-45 meters), especially during Palau's dry season (October to May).
WWII History: Divers may also find remnants of World War II history, such as artifacts in the sand at sites like Orange Beach. 
Peleliu Island Tour
Peleliu is a very historical island. It is the site of a famous WWII battle. We have the only WWII museum in Palau, memorials remembering the fallen soldiers, and lots of sites, caves, and war wreckage remaining in the jungle.
You can explore the island with a local historian guide, or on your own by bicycle.
Bicycle and Kayak Rental
There are bicycles available to cruise around the island.
Kayaks are available for the guests to paddle around the small rock island in front of the resort, snorkel to see the small colorful fish and coral, or enjoy fishing.
