Transportation in Melekeok

# Transportation in Melekeok Melekeok, Palau's capital state, has limited public transportation infrastructure typical of the country's smaller administrative centers. Based on available data, visitors should plan on arranging private transportation, as organized public transit systems are not established in this area. Most travelers rely on rental cars, hotel shuttles, or taxi services arranged through accommodations to navigate the region. **First-time visitors should know** that Melekeok is primarily accessed by road from other parts of Babeldaob Island. The area is known for housing the Capitol Building but lacks the tourism infrastructure found in Koror. Pre-arranging transportation through your accommodation is highly recommended, as on-demand services may be limited. **Getting from the airport:** Roman Tmetuchl International Airport is located approximately 20-30 minutes away by road. Since specific shuttle or public transport data is not available for this route, visitors should arrange airport transfers in advance through their hotel or book a private taxi/car service. Check with your accommodation about transfer options, as many properties in Palau include this service or can arrange reliable transportation for guests.
