Kiribati, located in the Central Pacific, consists of 33 low-lying atolls and coral islands. It is the largest atoll state in the world, straddling the equator for approximately 2,000 miles. Kiribati is a beautiful country rich in culture and kindness. However, it is one of the ten poorest nations in the world. You can make the children very happy with pens, paper, books etc.

Christmas island (or Kiritimati Island) and Fanning Island (or Tabuaeran Island) both located in the Kiribati Line Islands Group have become very popular as new Cruise ship destinations for cruise passengers.

Christmas Island receives surprise cruise tours from cruise ships on an irregular basis, and it is also very popular for diving and game fly-fishing. Every year most American tourists come to Christmas Island to enjoy and experience the adventures in bonefish fishing and big trophy fishing.

On the island, passengers are welcomed with local dances, and participate in island tours, and activities such as sightseeing, windsurfing, fishing, snorkeling, and swimming in the clear blue lagoon.
