Overview

Kiribati, located in the central Pacific Ocean, is an island nation in Oceania comprising 33 atolls and reef islands. It is known for its stunning natural beauty and unique cultural heritage. The islands are spread over a vast area and straddle the equator, offering visitors a chance to experience both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The capital, Tarawa, is the political and economic center, providing insight into local life. English is widely spoken, though Kiribatis native language, Gilbertese, is also commonly used.
