Travel to The Marshall Islands

Overview

The Marshall Islands

Without being at war, the Marshall Islands has regularly suffered from armed assaults such as bombings, air-raids and nuclear explosions. It is fair to say that this archipelago has suffered in the past, fortunately it does not show. On the equator (or almost), the reactivity of nature is amazing. The coral reefs have healed their wounds, multi-coloured fish have returned and on the white sand beaches, again you can see a few tourists who are very pleased to be here instead of it being predominantly a military base.

Our Editorial team's advice

Majuro, Arno (Longar), Mili, Bikini and Kwajalein are the best places to go diving. Here, go through a specialised agency to enjoy the numerous opportunities (such as Marshalls Dive Adventures).
Witness the very popular fishing contest that takes place once a month on Majuro Island. It is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the diversity of the sea fauna.
Go and have a picnic on a Sunday with Marshallese families on Anemanet Island in Majuro (boats leave at noon).
Although the setting is great for light clothes, wear your bathing suits on the beaches only.
Do not take photos of the presidential palace and its surroundings.
