The 6 Best Things to Do in Majuro, Marshall Islands

March 27, 2018 Emerita Lamoureux

Spread over several hundred thousand square miles of the Pacific, the Marshall Islands are a divers paradise of coral reefs, exotic species of fish, and WWII wrecks. The narrow Majuro atoll is the country's capital, with a major port and international airport. Before departing the city for snorkeling adventures, take the opportunity to learn about the history and people of the Marshall Islands at the Alele Museum, or shop for some traditional woven baskets and bags, a specialty of the islands.

Alele Museum, Library and National Archives

Reviewed By Saricie_Q - Taipei, Taiwan

Aside from some nice Beaches, there are very few attractions on Majuro Atoll above the water. The best things to see here are mainly all under the water and require diving skills.
Alele is one of few interesting places to visit on land. Yes, it is very small (with only two rooms and a hallway) and some pictures are faded and difficult to view. However, it is the only good place that helps visitors to know the history, culture, environment of this very young countries.
Compared to other national museums of small Pacific island countries (like Fiji or even Vanuatu), this one is not impressive at all. However, it is totally free.
It may take only 20-30 minutes to finish viewing all the exhibition. If you stay nearby (Uliga Inn is just across the street and Robert Reimer Hotel is less than 5 minutes' walk away), it is worth a visit.

Arno Atoll

This largely undeveloped island has great dive sites.

Reviewed By Roxann M - Tacoma, Washington

I traveled to the Marshall Islands for an oceanography class and had the opportunity to visit Arno Atoll. The snorkeling was amazing- it was definitely another world. The island is secluded, but the locals are friendly. Be sure to pack food- there isn't much on the island except for a little snack shop. Be sure to stay out for the sunsets.

Majuro Bridge

Reviewed By youthtripplanner - Hagerstown, Maryland

Limited pull off space from the road, but a nice place to get "outside" the atoll and get pictures looking back at the beach. The water is an amazing color, but they recommend you stay out due to the current under the bridge. Trash everywhere.

This fantastic coral reef features an area called "the aquarium" that often provides the dive of a lifetime.

Eu e um grupo de amigos, fizemos um passeio de barco por várias ilhas, por +/- 2 horas. Fomos perto do por do sol e chegamos de noite, onde tínhamos reservado parte do restaurante do RRE para jantar. Valeu muito a pena. Quem gosta de mar e natureza com certeza vai amar
