Funafuti
It is the largest island in the country and the capital of this island nation. Funafuti is home to the only International airport in the country. Funafuti and its other tiny islets boast most of the tourist attractions in the country. The prime attraction of this place is the lagoon, which is an 18 kilometers long water body. Tourists can also enjoy diving in the water at this beautiful lagoon.
Nanumanga
One of the atolls of Tuvalu, Nanumanga is an excellent place to visit both for history lovers and nature buffs. Some caves were discovered here in 1986 when adventurers were scuba diving. In these caves, the remains of old settlements of the island were found, including the signs of fire which was lit on the rocks. Adventure buffs who are interested in scuba diving can access these caves easily.
WWII Plane Wreckage Sites
During World War II, this country and others around it were used by Allied forces for defense and counter attack purposes against rival armed forces who occupied the nearby Kiribati Island. Today, signs of the world war can be witnessed in forms of remains and leftovers of several war planes around different islands or islets of the country. Tourists can visit these sites if they are interested to know history. Also, worth visiting among these sites is the bunker of Tepuka islet.
