Majuro Lagoon
The vast, brilliant turquoise interior of the atoll creates a stunning contrast with the dark ocean.
Laura Village
View the lush, wider western end of Majuro where the island's primary agriculture is located.
Phosphate Pinnacles
Look into the interior of Nauru to see the jagged, lunar-like limestone pinnacles left from mining.
Anibare Bay
Spot the most scenic beach on Nauru and the distinct tropical vegetation of the Command Ridge.
Nauru Island Overview
Due to the island's tiny size, you can often see nearly the entire country from this side during the bank for landing.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Upon takeoff from MAJ, you get a full view of the lagoon's expanse. For the arrival in Nauru, the right side usually faces the island's interior if the plane circles clockwise. Use a polarized filter for photography to capture the intense greens and turquoises of the coral reefs.

Nauru Southern Tip
A close-up view of the reef shelf surrounding the southern coast of Nauru on final descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the soft light reflecting off the ocean without direct sun glare. It is also excellent for seeing the narrowness of the atoll strips. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for the sudden appearance of the Nauru shoreline.
