Details About Fanning Island

Destinations » Hawaii and South Pacific » Hawaiian Islands » Fanning Island


Far off the beaten path, Fanning Island is a remote, beautiful hideaway with just over 1,300 inhabitants. Locals call it "Tabaueran," a Kiribati word meaning "heavenly footprint." The island is an atoll -- a ring-shaped coral reef enclosing a protected lagoon. With its sugar-white beaches and clear, blue-green water, it is a perfect paradise for snorkeling, sailing, kayaking and beachcombing.
