A turquoise lagoon and long stretches of soft sand draw tourists to Ambo Island, ideal for relaxing waterfront walks under the shade of leafy palm trees. Though inviting, it is generally not advisable to swim in the lagoon due to the high levels of water pollution. Instead of swimming, take in the views from the the nearby club, featuring a meeting house and bar. A visit to Ambo Island represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Tarawa Atoll tour itinerary planner to plot your vacation.
