Sick of being an armchair traveller? Dying to experience the real thing? Tabiteuea South is the perfect place to start. You'll find it among the magnificent beaches, sandy beaches and coral reefs of Kiribati. (You'll have to sidestep the well-trodden tourist trail, but isn't that what travelling is all about?)
It lies 390 kilometres to the southeast of Tarawa, the capital of Kiribati.
Tabiteuea North is 40 kilometres to the northwest and worth visiting. After more ideas? Onotoa, 75 kilometres to the southeast of Tabiteuea South, should be your second stop.
A fine day is a fantastic opportunity to head into the outdoors and spend a few relaxing hours shore fishing. If the agreeable weather persists, also try beach combing.
Indulge in one of your favourite hobbies or have a shot at something new on the waters around Kiribati. You'll find a variety of fun watersports on offer, such as swimming and snorkeling.
If you were to ask some locals about activities in the surrounding area, they'll often suggest the popular open-air museums.
Tantalise your taste buds and fill your Instagram with mouthwatering pics by digging into some of this destination's greatest food and drink offerings. Just be sure to hashtag 'yum'!
Want to try some of the local fare? We suggest you get an appreciation for tuna and coconut, two staples used in a variety of dishes here.
You don't need to dither over the menu while in Tabiteuea South. Just dive straight in and order the regional specialties, such as palu sami (baked coconut cream and onions wrapped in taro leaves) and roasted lobster tails with coconut curry.
Still got a little room in your waistband after your main meal? Then put in an order for pandanus (fruit), a mouthwatering dessert.
Be sure to mark the 12th of July in your diary. In Tabiteuea South this means one thing — Independence Day. A major day of celebrations, this is a wonderful time of year to visit the country.
It's always hard when a holiday ends. However, your time in the charming Kiribati region will have made you richer, no matter how little of your holiday budget is left in your pocket.
Time to fly home? Pack up your bags, set your alarm clock and map a route to Tabiteuea North Airport (TBF). It's roughly 35 kilometres to the northwest.
