Nauru - small beautiful island

Nauru is a tiny island country in Micronesia, northeast of Australia. It features a 
coral reef and white-sand beaches fringed with palms, including Anibare Bay on 
the east coast. Inside, tropical vegetation surrounds Buada Lagoon. The rocky outcrop of Command Ridge, the island's highest point, has a rusty Japanese outpost from WWII. The underground freshwater lake of Moqua Well lies amid the limestone Moqua Caves.

How can reach Nauru?

All foreign visitors require a valid passport valid for at least 3 months, a 30 day tourist visa and proof of hotel booking or local sponsor in order to enter Nauru. All other nationals must obtain a visa from their local Nauruan embassy before departure. There have been rumours on the Internet that you can get in for up to three days without getting a visa, but that is not accurate.

By plane: Nauru International Airport is located in the island , so you can reach there easily through flight.

Get around:

Nauru is so small that it takes less than one hour to drive right around it. The airport runway cuts across three of the twenty kilometres of road. The only traffic lights on the island are used to stop the traffic and allow the plane to cross the road to the terminal! This is a favourite souvenir snapshot taken by visitors.

Language:

The first official language is Nauruan, a distinct Pacific Island language. Some locals speak Tuvaluan or Gilbertese which are quite common around the island since these two ethnic groups have historically worked in the Nauru mining industry.

English - the second official language - is widely understood, spoken, and used for most government and commercial purposes.

What we can do?

• Walk round the islands interior. Do the circuit - A sealed road goes all the way around the island so you can drive, ride or walk around an entire country! A drive takes about 25 minutes non-stop. A bicycle ride would take 2-3 hours and a walk maybe 6 hours. There is lots of nice scenery if not much to do and, going from either hotel, Chappelle & Partner department store right at the top of the island in Ewa district makes for a welcome break at halfway around.
• Explore World war relics In Yaren. Spot the remains of Japanese guns, bunkers and pillboxes left over from WW2. Tourists have to visit there
• Climb Command Ridge, Nauru's highest point. 
• Watch the local teams battle it out at an Australian rules football match. The national game is played all through Saturday at the Linkbelt Oval sports field.
• Fish: Head out to sea and try your luck at game fishing
• Shop at Capelle & Partner, the only department store and largest business on Nauru island.
• Swim in Anibore Harbour, which is the best bet for swimming, as most beaches are too shallow and rocky. Before that you have to get guidelines about the beach and sea animals.
