Group Activities Nauru

Group Activities in Nauru

Nauru, a tiny island nation in the Pacific, may be small in size, but a group can fill a few days here.

Outdoor Outings

Walking the Ring Road

• A paved road of about 19 km circles the island through all 14 districts.
• Start at first light, since the equatorial sun is strong, and carry plenty of water.
• Cars drive on the left.

Command Ridge

• Visit Nauru’s highest point, 65 m above sea level. It is a short visit, not a hike.
• See Japanese anti-aircraft guns and an underground communications bunker that can be entered with a torch.
• Learn about the historical significance of this site during World War II.

Local Life

Australian Rules Football

• Australian rules football is the national sport, and matches are played at Linkbelt Oval in Aiwo.
• Ask at your hotel about fixtures.

Topside

• Visit the mined phosphate plateau with a local guide arranged through your hotel.
• Limestone pinnacles several metres tall stand beside unmarked dirt tracks, with no shade.

Relaxation and Leisure

Fishing Trips

• Local charters go for tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi from Anibare Boat Harbour.
• Ask your hotel to arrange one, and agree the price in advance.

Anibare Bay

• Take a leisurely stroll along the white coral sand of the east coast.
• The surf is heavy and rip currents are strong, with no lifeguards, so stay out of the open water.

Tips and Essentials

• Hotels are booked directly by email or phone, and rooms are limited.
• Pack light, breathable clothing and closed shoes for outdoor activities.
• Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the tropical sun.
• Bring Australian dollars in cash. Cards are not accepted, and the single ATM is often out of cash.
• Be mindful of Nauru’s fragile environment and take all trash with you.
