Overview

Imagine 1,192 small islands surrounded by clear blue water, hundreds of species of reef fish, deep blue skies above, breathtakingly beautiful beaches below and probably the best location in the world for diving and underwater photography.

Away from the water there is a strong island culture and although opportunities to meet the local islanders can be difficult, this guide shows how to overcome the restrictions and move around the atolls for a chance to mix with island culture.
