Tarawa (Betio Islet) - General Info
Description:
Tarawa is the capital of Kiribati and lies in the group of atolls forming the northern Gilberts.
Pilotage into the lagoon here is straightforward. It is a wide deep pass used by ships and is currently buoyed at each end of the channel.
There is a small offset in some charts, so daylight entry using normal cautions on first arrival is recommended.
This is an official port of entry.
