The route we travelled

- Fiji
From Bangkok we travelled via Hong Kong and Fiji to Nauru. We explored the island by car, then continued to Tarawa and Kiritimati.
We flew from Nauru to Tarawa with Nauru Airlines. We spent about 3–4 days on Tarawa and hired a car, then took a direct flight to Kiritimati.
Fiji in the list of stops is the way there and back, not the Fiji islands programme.
TARAWA · KIRITIMATI
Kiribati
Tarawa runs along its lagoon: palms, houses, boats and a shallow shore. Betio is at the western end. In the Kiribati language the letters ti in these names sound like s: Betio is said “Beso”, Kiribati “Kiribas”, and Kiritimati “Kirismas”. Kiritimati lies much further east: the village of London sits on a narrow piece of land between lagoon and ocean. The English name Christmas Island comes from Christmas.
A possible trip
Nauru
Drive around the island to see its coast and interior. The number of nights depends on the next suitable onward flight.
A possible trip
Tarawa
Spend several days on the atoll, driving beside the lagoon and visiting villages and the ocean shore. Boat outings are arranged locally according to the weather.
A possible trip
Kiritimati
The lagoon, settlements and a few unhurried days. We check flights in both directions and accommodation before adding the island to the trip.

Based on our own journey

Our previous route through Fiji is a reference, not a current flight schedule. We check every connection before agreeing dates.
Durations are planning estimates. Allow extra time for international travel and buffers between island flights. We check flights, accommodation and entry requirements before booking.
