Tourism in Nauru

Tourism in Nauru

The Republic of Nauru, as a small, isolated Western Pacific island nation, lacks many of the tourist facilities of some of its larger neighbors, such as Fiji, the Cook Islands, or even New Caledonia. Access to the island comes only through twice weekly flights from Brisbane, Australia, on the national airline provider of Nauru, Our Airline.

Accommodations

Hotels within the Republic of Nauru consist of:
* The Menen Hotel (119 rooms, recently updated)
* The OD-N-Aiwo Hotel

Food & Beverage

The Menen Hotel hosts two, full sized restaurants (often vistited by islanders) and one bar. All food and beverage facilities in the hotel offer sweeping views of Anibare bay, off the east coast of the island. One of the above listed restaurant is the Anibare, offering international cuisines, as well as local seafood. The second restaurant is the Oriental, serving up Thai, Chinese, and Indian delicacies.

Leisure activities

* Deep Sea Game Fishing is offered by several locals with privately owned boats who hire their services for chartered amounts of time. Fish able to be caught include: marlin, yellowfin tuna, skipjack, and barracuda.
* Swimming at the beach just outside the Menen Hotel is consided by locals and visitors alike to be the best on the island. White sand and bright blue water rival any other beach in the Pacific.
* Scuba Diving is a treat in Nauru thanks to the clear water and an intact reef. A plethora of marine life can be seen and wreck diving is even available. Equipment needed to scuba dive can be rented on the island.

Getting to Nauru

Our Airline, formally known as Air Nauru, operates a single Boeing 737-300 (a gift from Taiwan) out of Brisbane, Australia. Our Airline serves Brisbane (Australian city), Honiara (capital of the Solomon Islands), & Nauru.
