Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Boat or tour sellers who take a deposit and give no receipt or written inclusions: book through your hotel or an established operator and keep the paperwork. (Scams)
- Unagreed taxi fares: agree the price before you get in, or use your hotel's shuttle. (Scams)
- 'Permits' sold at the dock by people who are not connected to Koror State: the Rock Islands permit is bought from the state office or through a licensed operator. (Scams)
