Nauru Tour Packages – Luxury Vacations and Holidays

After breakfast, it is time to set off to explore what would be Nauru & s capital if it had one. This morning you will visit the Parliament Buildings and the High Court. Lunch today will be at On Aiwo. One of the myths about Nauru is that the refugees are locked away in the processing center peering at the outside world through chicken wire fences. This is not the case at all. The refugees are what makes Nauru so fascinating. They are the people running the restaurants, barber shops, hospitals, local supermarkets, and bars on the beach – many are business owners contributing to the country & s economy. The refugees are welcoming and laid back. We make time to speak with the local refugees not just today, but every day we are here on the island to hear about life on Nauru, life before Nauru, and their hopes for the future. Life is tough on Nauru, but not necessarily in the way, we may think. This is an incredibly empowering educational experience and will really shape your impression of Nauru and life on the island. Overnight at Ewa Lodge or similar

Did you know that Nauru was occupied by Japan during WWII from 1942–45? And prior to the German-occupied in WWI the island's original name was Pleasant Island. Nauru is covered in hidden bunkers, secret caves, shipwrecks, and artillery. After breakfast, it is time to explore the WWII relics at Yaren. Visit some of the machine gun nests on the hillsides as well as the double-barrelled anti-aircraft guns which are still on their mountings on Command Ridge near ‘Topside & Phosphorus mines. Take in some of the sites from the now abandoned mines and the lunar-like landscape left behind. Vegetation is only now slowly starting to come back to the island after years of being baron post-mining. From the Topside, you will also see the processing center from above. For lunch today, enjoy a fish and chip picnic before continuing onto Buada lagoon, the only body of water on the island. This is a very picturesque spot in the lower middle of the island. The lagoon is surrounded on all sides by dense palm trees and other vegetation. Swimming is not recommended here. Overnight at Ewa Lodge or similar

After breakfast, get your walking shoes on and walk the entire perimeter of the island (approx 19km). We set off early as it gets hot once the sun is up! Nauru is one of the few countries in the world where you can walk the entire country in around 5 hours. Pass stunning beaches, rusty remains of the phosphorus mines, hidden bunkers, and slow island life. Chat with the locals as you stroll – some may join you for the walk! Lunch today will be in a local Chinese restaurant. Overnight at Ewa Lodge or similar

Today is yours at leisure until it is time to head to the airport for your flight to Nadi, Fiji (not included). Upon arrival, you will be met by your driver and transferred for 3.5hrs along the Coral Coast to Suva. Overnight Tanoa Plaza Suva or similar.

An early start this morning as you head to the airport for your flight to Tuvalu, the world & s lowest lying country with its highest point being only 4m above sea level. Tuvalu, formerly Ellice Islands, is a collection of nine small coral islands scattered in a chain covering an area of approx 676 km. Despite being considered one of the smallest countries in the world, Tuvalu has so much to offer. This remote country is very peaceful and offers a truly off the beaten path journey. Be amazed by its fascinating landscape, natural views and impressive marine treasures. Crystal lagoons, pristine islets and motus and vivid coral reefs. Known for its distinctive Polynesian culture, Tuvalu maintains the uniqueness in its art and craft works, music, architecture and legends. You are about to experience why Tuvalu is a treasure in the corner of the Pacific! Upon arrival at Tuvalu, you will be met and set off to explore Funafuti & s government buildings and on the lagoon side just north of the wharf, the Van Camp No. 1 shipwreck, which was blown ashore by Hurricane Bebe in 1972. You will also visit the infamous David’s Drill. In 1897, Sir T. W. Edgeworth David, a Welsh-born Australian geologist drilled to a depth of 200 metres here in Funafuti, in an effort to verify Darwin & s theory of the formation of coral atolls. His results supported Darwin & s ideas, however they were short of absolute proof. The main bore hole, David & s Drill, still can be seen today. As the sun begins to set, head back to airstrip to join the locals in playing some of their favourite sports which include volleyball, football and the national game, te ano (the ball). (B) Overnight Afelita Bed & Breakfast or similar

This morning it is all about getting even more remote. Take your private boat for a half day exploration to the Triangular Islands where you will visit two motus and enjoy a basic picnic lunch. It is very likely that you will have these islands all to yourself. Your own private piece of paradise. Be sure to bring your snorkel gear to spend time in the crystal waters discovering the colourful marine life. This afternoon, you will head to Nanumea atoll which is home to Tuvalu & s conservation area. With Tuvalu being the world & s lowest lying country, the rise in sea level said to be caused by climate change is causing the island nation to lose its natural resources and biodiversity. So how can we help? By planting mangrove seedlings. Mangroves are an important resource in Tuvalu which enhance fisheries and provide material for both traditional handicrafts and firewood. Due to the countries low profile, mangroves also protect the islands from tidal and storm surge. You will plant your seedlings in areas threatened by coastal erosion. A one-kilometre stretch of coastline is in the process of being planted to protect the main village area on Nanumea. Let & s play our part and help save Tuvalu. From here, take your speed boat to Afelita Island Resort, the country's only eco-resort. Aelita Island Resort on Mulitefala Island offers a back-to-nature experience, Tuvaluan style. Think barefoot luxury. One of the property owners, Afelee spent six years in New York as the Ambassador for Tuvalu to the UN. Be ready for some incredible stories

This morning, take a 10-minute ride back over to Funafuti Atoll where you will visit the local patisserie. Follow your taste buds as you breathe in the scent of freshly baked bread, rolls, cakes, and pies handmade by the local village women. From here, head to the women & s handicraft center where the local ladies intricately make Tuvalu fans, mats, baskets, necklaces, woodcarvings, and fishhooks which are famous throughout the Pacific. It is then time to head to the airport for your flight back to Suva where your tour ends on arrival.
