Nauru is an island country located in the South Pacific Ocean. Its closest neighbor is Banaba Island 300 kilometres east. It is the third smallest state in the world, behind the Vatican City and Monaco. The country is the smallest independent republic.

The warm, humid climate means that beach-goers will have plenty of time to explore. Even inland there is water. The Buada Lagoon is a freshwater lagoon surrounded by tall palm trees and greenery. While you can’t swim in it, it’s an amazing photo opportunity.

Travellers who enjoy being active will never be short of something to do in Nauru. A sealed road goes around the entire island so visitors can see the beautiful scenery in one trip. Walking the circuit takes about 6 hours, biking about 2-3 hours, and driving 25 minutes. Travellers can also explore relics from the World War 2 in Yaren, climb Command Ridge, or even fish out in the Harbor.

After a long day exploring, there are plenty of delicious restaurants to explore. For drinks, head to Reef Bar at the Menen hotel. Visits to Nauru are a perfect combination of exploration and relaxation.

  • Typhoid – Salmonella Typhi causes typhoid, a severe infection transmitted via contaminated food and water. Vaccination is recommended for travellers and those with elevated infection risks. Practicing proper hygiene and safe food handling can also reduce the likelihood of contracting typhoid.
  • Hepatitis A – Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus, typically spread through ingestion of contaminated food or water, or close contact with an infected person. Symptoms include fatigue, stomach pain, and jaundice. The hepatitis A vaccine provides effective prevention against the virus. It is administered in a series of shots, usually starting in childhood, and is recommended for travel to areas with high infection rates.
  • Rabies – Rabies, a fatal viral illness, is primarily transmitted through the saliva of infected animals. Prevention centers on vaccination, with post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) necessary after possible exposure and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) recommended for individuals with increased risk, such as travellers.
  • Hepatitis B – Hepatitis B prevention relies on vaccination as the most effective measure, recommended for all travellers and critical for healthcare workers. Practicing safe sex and using sterile equipment for body modifications are also key in reducing transmission risks.
  • Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) – Measles, mumps, and rubella are preventable diseases that require a proactive approach through vaccination. The MMR vaccine, given in two doses, is a powerful tool in stopping the transmission of these viruses. Ensuring widespread vaccination coverage is essential to protect vulnerable populations and prevent outbreaks.

Dengue is present on Nauru, make sure to use repellents and netting.

See our vaccinations page to learn more about these infections and vaccines. Ready to protect yourself? Book your travel health appointment today by calling or schedule online now.

Keep bugs at bay by dressing smartly and applying EPA-registered repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or OLE. In case of a bug bite, cleanse the area, refrain from scratching, and find relief with readily available remedies. If symptoms worsen, consult a healthcare professional.

Abroad, food safety entails avoiding street vendors, thorough hand-washing, and opting for well-cooked dishes. Choose sealed bottled or canned beverages. To prevent travellers’ diarrhea, maintain hand hygiene, avoid raw foods, and dine at reliable restaurants.

  • Dengue – Dengue fever, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, significantly impacts global health, affecting up to 400 million people yearly. Without specific antiviral treatments, prevention through avoiding mosquito bites is key. Repellents and nettings are recommended.

A passport and visa are required to enter Nauru. Proof of hotel booking and onward travel are also required.
