Sport & Activities
Visitors interested in watersports should bring their own equipment as there is little for hire. Diving and game fishing equipment is available in Funafuti. Swimmers should wear sand shoes as stonefish are an occasional hazard. Owing to the strong tide, swimming in the ocean is very dangerous. Swimming in the lagoon is considered fairly safe.
A multi-purpose court for tennis, volleyball or basketball is situated near the Vaiaku Lago Hotel. Visitors who wish to use the hotel's tennis court should bring their own rackets and balls. Football is very popular, as is kilikiti, a local version of cricket. Te ano is a much-loved traditional ball game reminiscent of volleyball.
