Tobi , also known as Hatohobei or Kodgubi , is a small, remote island in the western Pacific . The island with a land area of 0.6 km² is lush with coconut palms ( Cocos nucifera ) and surrounded by a dense coral reef .

Together with the Helen Reef about 75 km to the east , a large uninhabited atoll , Tobi forms the Palauian state of Hatohobei , whose capital of the same name is located on the southwest coast of the island of Tobi. The state of Hatohobei is the southernmost administrative area of the island republic of Palau, the village of Hatohobei on Tobi is therefore Palau's southernmost settlement.
