Travel to Kiribati
Kiribati which is also well-known as an Island Nation is varied blend of packed wildlife and coral reefs. The country is home to 32 atolls and each atoll has own set of exclusive characteristics. Kiribati is a great spot to spend vacation at. There are lots of places which are worth touring here. Food is fresh and simple. Folk music and dance (involving chanting and body percussion) has developed into an art form. Visitors can wander World War Two relics, enjoy fishing and diving on the endless reefs or take in some traditional entertainment. Other than that there’s not a lot to do, apart from soaking up the sun on the ubiquitous Robinson Crusoe-esque beaches of course.
Diving in Kiribati
Kiribati is an island in the Pacific Ocean. It comprises 32 atolls and one raised coral island, straddling the equator. On Christmas Island, Kiribati’s biggest and well-known island, you will see the most bright reef fish swimming around the rainbow-colored coral. Diving takes place from coast dives or from conventional outrigger canoes. Expect encounters with many varieties of angelfish, butterfly pairs, triggerfish, puffers and parrotfish. The main atoll, Tarawa, also offers extraordinary diving and Kiribati is home to the South Pacific's biggest marine reserve. Butaritari is the greenest island, where the traditional 'binekua' (calling of the whales) was practiced by Kuma villagers.
