Explore Nauru

Nauru is one of the smallest countries in the world, amassing only 21 square kms and is only 6 kms at its widest.

Nauru's landscape is dramatic, with lush jungle growing between the jagged pinnacles left over from phosphate mining.

Its phosphate reserves once made Nauru one of the richest countries on Earth.

The main languages spoken in Nauru are Nauruan and English. Visitors to Nauru need to apply for a visa prior to arriving in Nauru.

Nauru is only approximately 40 kilometres away from the equator, so its climate is tropical and it is warm all year around.

But did you know that Nauru is also only 21 square kilometres?

It's easy to walk around the entire country in a few hours, but make sure you start early in the morning as it gets warm quickly!

Due to Nauru’s climate, bring conservative clothes suitable for warm temperatures. Sunscreen, hats and insect repellent are also necessary.

If you are planning to explore the central plateau or ‘Topside’, be sure to bring suitable footwear.

The temperature ranges between 24 degrees Celsius and 34 degrees Celsius and is kept down by sea breezes which can be felt from most parts of the island.

The Australian Dollar is the official currency of Nauru. The majority of shops, hotels and restaurants in Nauru do not use credit cards, and cash is the norm.
