So, prepare to receive blank looks and crooked eyebrows when you mention the name of the place you are going. But once you come back you will be one of them in the 2000 people bracket who have visited this country. (Tuvalu receives approximate 2000-2500 visitors annually) .

5 Things To Do In this Remotest Island
Take a stroll on the International Runway- Ever thought of a motorbike race on a runway? Because of rare flight landings the runway is normally treated as a road and as a playground for kids. The perfect place where you an camp in the middle of runway. (don't do this)
Visit one of the loneliest beaches (Conservation Area)- Spanning over 33 square kilometres, the Conservation Area is a conglomeration of channels, reefs and numerous ocean habitats. You will feel yourself in paradise with the charming broadleaf forest and tranquil coral sand beaches. It is a dream for snorkeling enthusiasts with a plethora of colorful fishes, turtles and marine creatures to see.
Circle around the whole island in less than 3hrs- Because of very little infrastructure, the best way to get around this tiny island is motorbike which can easily be rented for a low cost of around $10.(ssshhh..nobody wears a helmet!!). There are public ferries available to travel to different island but be ready for long travel hours, even multiple days.
Get awestruck by the mesmerising colours of Sunset sky- The beautiful sandy beaches provides the ideal platform to fall in love with the vermillion skies during sunset hours. Feel the golden rays engulfing you with the horizon drifting afar and the waves crashing on the shores.
