The Republic of Nauru is a small, isolated Western Pacific island nation, lacking many of the tourist facilities of some of its larger neighbours, such as Fiji, the Cook Islands, or even New Caledonia. Access to the island comes through once a week, with 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
- Capelle & Partner Premium Accommodations, Studio Apartments
Food & Beverage
The Menen Hotel hosts two restaurants, the Anibare and the Oriental, and one bar. These food and beverage facilities offer views of Anibare bay, off the east coast of the island. The Anibare offers international cuisine and local seafood. The Oriental serves Thai, Chinese, and Indian food. The restaurants are frequented by islanders.
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 that have been caught include: marlin, yellowfin tuna, skipjack, and barracuda.[citation needed]
- Swimming at the beach just outside the Menen Hotel is considered by locals and visitors alike to be the best on the island. [citation needed]
- Scuba Diving equipment is available in Nauru as well as wreck diving opportunities.
