Destination
Majuro
Majuro is an atoll in the Marshall Islands with a narrow strip of land around a lagoon. Island culture takes centre stage here, rather than a packed city itinerary.
When to go
Check rain, tides and sea conditions; lagoon excursions depend on current conditions.
Things to see and do
Discover the Alele Museum's materials and traditional crafts; arrange a boat trip separately.
Practical tips
Much land belongs to local owners; clarify permission to visit. Do not apply conditions on Majuro to remote atolls.
Getting there and getting around
International arrivals use Majuro's airport; confirm flights and allow extra connection time.
Where to stay
Choose accommodation with confirmed transfers, drinking water and meals; options on the atoll are limited.
What to try
Fish, coconut, pandanus and breadfruit feature in the cuisine; availability also depends on deliveries.
