AIR
Air Kiribati, the national airline, connects all of the islands of the Gilberts group with regular scheduled services. Charter flights can also be arranged.
LAND Buses are by far the most convenient and inexpensive way of travelling around South Tarawa. Large fleets of private buses service Betio to Buota between 6.00am and 10.00pm. A form of taxi service is also available. Car hire is available in the commercial centres on Tarawa and Kiritimati and some I-Kiribati rent out their vehicles to visitors on request.
North Tarawa and many of the outer islands do not have motorised vehicles in certain parts and the only way to get around these areas is on bicycle or by foot. Motorbikes are a convenient mode of transport throughout the islands.
SEA Ships operate from South Tarawa to all the outer islands transporting passengers, cargo and vehicles. Other smaller craft operate between South Tarawa and North Tarawa and also travel to the outer islands. Each operates its own schedule and is available for charter.
