Tourist Season in Kiribati

Holidays & Events

A good time to visit the western islands of Kiribati (e.g., the Gilbert Islands) is from May to November, but if you want perfect and least rainy weather, it's better to choose the months of June to September.

The Phoenix Islands and the central part of the Line Islands (Central Polynesian Sporades) are drier and can be visited year-round. On the other hand, the southern part of the Line Islands can experience cyclones from November to April, so it is better to avoid this period.
