Kiribati

Kiribati is more a sprinkling of far-flung coral atolls than dry land, more deep blue ocean than sandy beach, more coconut trees than people, more Christian church than ancient island beliefs. Kiribati (pronounced kee-ree-bus) is far away, hard to get to, untouristed and deeply religious.

Kiribati Transport

Coming and Going

Only Tarawa and Christmas Island are serviced by international flights. You can fly to Kiribati via Nauru on Air Nauru/Our Airline or to Christmas Island from Honolulu and Suva, Fiji. Fanning and Christmas Islands are popular with visiting yachties.

Getting About

The main islands have airstrips and are served from Tarawa, and passenger ferries go to many of the smaller islands. You'll need your own yacht or a berth on one to reach the more out-of-the-way islands, unless you're prepared to wait a month or two for a supply ship.
