MAURI and Welcome to

KIRIBATI

MAURI” is a simple and warm greeting in Kiribati which simply means “Good Health to you” or “Hello.” It also important that you also know how to pronounce “KIRIBATI” the right way; it is pronounced (Kiri – bass).

Kiribati is not a high-end luxury holiday destination however; it is one of the few places on earth where you will find tranquility and complete peace of mind through the islands and it’s the people. It is for travellers who adventure to discover the unknown and for one who yearns for unique cultures and desires to live a simple yet fulfilling life. Kiribati truly is for travellers.

Kiribati is made of 33 Islands grouped into 3 island archipelagos: the Gilbert Islands in the West; the Phoenix Islands Protected Area in the center; and the Line Islands in the East. The islands straddle along and across the equator at the true heart of the Pacific; where the equator meets the International Date Line. We are also the only country in the world situated on all four hemispheres of the globe – northern, southern, eastern, and western. The Line group are also the first islands in the world to welcome every new day.
