Is December Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
- + December is Yaren's quietest month for international visitors. You might find silence on the Buada Lagoon path. A seat to yourself at the Capelle & Partner supermarket cafe is likely.
- + The sea breeze along the coastal ribbon road is stronger. It takes the edge off midday heat. Walking past the Command Ridge bunkers becomes pleasant.
- + Heavy rainfall gives sparse vegetation temporary lushness. The coral-limestone landscape turns green for weeks.
- + Local families gather for evening barbecues on Anibare Bay reef flats. This communal atmosphere is harder to find in drier months.
- − 11 inches of rain arrives in sudden downpours. Unsealed inland tracks turn to impassable red mud for hours.
- − High humidity plus heat creates sticky conditions. A short hotel-to-airport walk feels like an expedition.
- − Some local services operate on reduced hours. Families travel or focus on holiday preparations.
Best Activities in December
Top things to do during your visit
December's stronger sea breezes make cycling Yaren's 19 km coastal ring road manageable. Overcast skies prevent punishing sun. You'll share the road with scooters, not tour buses. The route passes rusting phosphate-loading cantilevers and Anibare Bay's turquoise water.
The interior doesn't feel like a sun-baked moonscape in December. Buada Lagoon is fringed with thicker green. Birdlife is more active. Morning rain showers create perfect walking conditions.
Overcast December skies add somber mood to Command Ridge exploration. The 65 m highpoint features abandoned Japanese guns and damp bunkers.
December brings seasonal treats to Aiwo district market. Fresh tuna and wahoo appear before weather turns. Capelle supermarket shows Nauru's culinary fusion.
