About Kiribati

The Pacific island group of Kiribati does not get many tourists because they are very humid, not well served by transport and the island’s government prefers to limit visitor numbers to protect the environment and the islander’s way of life. Kiribati became independent from the UK in the early 1970s and until that point it was known as The Gilbert Islands.
