The island is known for its beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine life, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and diving. The island is also home to a small population of around 400 people, who mainly rely on fishing and subsistence agriculture for their livelihoods. One of the main attractions on Kili Island is the Kili Island Cooperative Store, which is a small shop that sells locally made handicrafts and souvenirs. Visitors can also explore the island's traditional villages and learn about the local culture and way of life. In addition to its natural beauty and cultural attractions, Kili Island is also home to several historic sites, including the ruins of Japanese fortifications from World War II. The island was occupied by the Japanese during the war, and the fortifications are a reminder of this period in the island's history. To reach Kili Island, visitors can take a domestic flight from the capital city of Majuro to nearby Jaluit Atoll, and then take a boat to Kili. Alternatively, there are occasional boats that travel directly from Majuro to Kili Island, but schedules can be unpredictable. |
