What not to do when visiting Nauru
Don’t forget Nauru is a Christian country, a prayer opens most gatherings. Children are expected to honour and respect their elders. Mothers are particularly honoured.
Don’t expect taxis or public transport - there are no, but vehicles can be hired from local suppliers.
Don’t be a victim of mosquito-borne diseases - protect yourself against bites by mosquitoes.
Did you know?
Nauru is the smallest country in the world (21 square km)and has no capital city.
Tell us your experience
We love to hear from people who have travelled the world and know ‘what not to do’. Why not help other people on their travels?
Don’t forget the wet season takes place from November to April. Nauru does not experience tropical cyclones due to its proximity to the equator.
