Recommended Travel Adaptor for Kiribati
We’ve taken the time to research and test different adaptors on real journeys. Safety and reliability were our top priorities. The adaptor below is the one we recommend.
Abroad with no adaptor? You’ll find some for sale at airports and in town. Just bear in mind they’re often overpriced and not the best quality.
Kiribati is usually visited along with Fiji and Vanuatu. Plug types aren’t always consistent across the Pacific, so it’s smart to double-check.
Sockets in Kiribati
Kiribati uses Type I plugs and sockets.
Type I
Type I sockets have two flat angled pins and sometimes a vertical earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type I sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only necessary if there’s a mismatch. In Kiribati the mains supply is more or less the same as in the UK, so you’re fine.
Check your device’s voltage rating before plugging in abroad. If you see ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you’re in luck — no converter required, as is the case with most modern electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s often the overlooked bits of kit that help the most. A luggage scale spares you the stress of overweight bags, a power bank keeps you going when outlets are scarce, and packing cubes keep everything in its place. We’ve tested them on the road, and they really earn their keep.
