Full-Day Trips
Worth dedicating a whole day to explore.

Kalalin Pass

Laura Beach and WWII Sites

Ailinglaplap Day Sail

Maloelap Atoll

Bikini Atoll Wreck Dive (Liveaboard Day Trip)

Ebon Atoll Cultural Immersion

Half-Day Options
Shorter excursions when time is limited.
Rairok Shipyard Snorkel
$30 including gear rentalThe rusting hulk of a copra boat builds an artificial reef 50 meters from shore, where angelfish dart through portholes and octopus hide in the engine room.
Delap Park Sunset Fish Market
$15-25 for fish and sidesAs the day cools, fishermen haul their catch across the reef, sparking a spontaneous market where you can watch tuna being carved with precision while frigate birds wheel overhead.
Uliga Dock Dolphin Watching
$20 for morning boat rideSpinner dolphins treat the harbor mouth as their morning playground, leaping in synchronized arcs against the sunrise while fishermen prep their nets for the day.
Ajeltake Mangrove Kayak
$35 including kayak rentalPaddle through the quiet channels where herons stalk through exposed roots and baby reef sharks circle in knee-deep water at high tide.
Day Trip Tips
Make the most of your excursions.
- ✓ Boat schedules shift with weather, always confirm departure the evening before, during storm season (November-February)
- ✓ Bring reef-safe sunscreen, local brands are scarce and pricey, plus the sun bouncing off water doubles exposure
- ✓ Pack motion sickness tablets even if you 'never get seasick', the Pacific can flip rough without warning
- ✓ Download offline maps before leaving Majuro, outer atolls have spotty cell coverage
- ✓ Cash is king, ATMs only exist in Majuro, so tally needs for the entire day plus emergencies
- ✓ Learn basic Marshallese greetings, 'Iọkwe' (hello) and 'Kom̧m̧ool' (thank you) carry weight in villages
- ✓ Bring a dry bag for electronics - salt spray is inevitable on boat rides
- ✓ Respect Sunday traditions, most outer islands reserve church and family time, limiting activities until afternoon
