Nauru is the world's smallest island nation and the third-smallest country by area, located in the central Pacific. Once one of the wealthiest nations due to phosphate mining, it now offers a unique look into a remote island community surrounded by coral reefs and a rugged interior plateau known as 'Topside.'

The island is so small (21 sq km) that you can drive around it in 20 minutes; walking and cycling the 19km perimeter road is popular; there is no scheduled public transport, but many residents offered lifts; car and motorbike rentals can be arranged through local guesthouses.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and Christian traditions; dress modestly in public; siempre avoid littering the reef; Nauruans are very friendly, so greetings are always appreciated; permission should be sought before exploring the mined-out interior (Topside).
