Things To Do: Trip to Abaiang

  • Abaiang is another Island in the Gilberts. It does not appear in the list of destinations, thus I made a travelogue about this journey on my Gilbert Islands page.

    Travelling around Kiribati has tought me a lot, like for instance: serenity, equanimity and patience. Why rush? The boat leaves when the tide is right and the plane arrives after dropping of some passangers on another island to make room for you. You WILL get to wherever you want to go, and the waiting gives you lots of time for contemplation :-)

    Things To Do: Trip to Butaritari
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kiribati - Sunset, Butaritari
  • Sunset, Butaritari
  • by Rusket
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Butaritari is one of the outer islands in the Gilberts, 1 hour by air north of Tarawa. Since Butaritari is not a destination of it's own in VT, I have made a travelogue about the trip on my Gilbert Island page.

    All in all the week we spent on Butaritari was the best part of our Kiribati adventure!

    Things To Do: Copramaking
  • Tip Rating:
  • Copra is a main export product from Kiribati. We visited a muto in the Butaritari lagoon, where local people move out for a couple of months each year to make copra. See the travelogue about the visit on my Gilbert Islands page.

    Things To Do: WWII relics
  • Tip Rating:
  • This wreck is in the Butaritari lagoon. It is not a museum of any sort, the wreckages are just there because nobody have removed them.

    Large battles took place between Japan and USA during WWII. The linked page is Jane Restures page about these battles.

    In Betio, a part of the Tarawa atoll, one of the worst battles of the second world war took place. Many war relics can be seen there, especially at low tide.

     While reading J Maartin Troosts book. I find this island chain interesting. I'm not sure if you have read the book but are the conditions as dire as as described?

     Recently spent 3 months on Christmas Island.. There is now weekly air service via Air Pacific between Fiji and Honolulu stopping at CXI each way every Wednesday.
