Nukusavalevale

Nukusavalevale is a small coral islet located on the southeastern rim of the Funafuti Atoll. Visitors go here to experience the quiet, natural scenery characteristic of the remote islets that form the perimeter of the atoll.

Getting There

The islet is accessible from the center of Funafuti via boat. Because it is located on the outer rim of the atoll, travel time depends on the vessel used and sea conditions, but it typically takes a short trip from the main settlement area.

Duration of Visit

A few hours are generally sufficient to walk around the islet and observe the coastal environment. There are no major built attractions, so the length of the stay depends on how much time you wish to spend in a quiet natural setting.

When to Visit

The islet is typically uncrowded. It is advisable to visit during the drier months to avoid heavy rain. As with most coral islets, visiting during the morning or late afternoon helps avoid the peak midday heat.
