Is December Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
- + December is the driest window on Majuro's calendar. Expect more sunny mornings. Fewer extended afternoon downpours. Spontaneous island-hopping and lagoon tours become reliable.
- + Trade winds ease in December. The lagoon flattens to glass. Good for kayaking or paddleboarding. Spot parrotfish 15 meters (50 feet) below.
- + Shoulder season for international tourism. Holiday charter flights haven't peaked. Find a seat at local eateries. No two-hour wait.
- + Reef fishing is most predictable now. Calmer seas and clearer water. Guides take you to trevally spots. Feel the hard tug.
- − 70% humidity plus high heat. Sticky, breathless heat wraps you. The air feels thick. Step off the plane and into a warm blanket.
- − Drier but still variable. Surprise squalls happen. Blue morning turns to 20-minute downpour. Potholes flood. Sun returns an hour later.
- − Families working abroad return home. Flights booked solid. Rental cars vanish. Only 50 vehicles on the atoll. Guesthouses fill with relatives.
Best Activities in December
Top things to do during your visit
December is the only sane time to drive to Laura. The bone-jarring road crosses narrow land strips. Lagoon on one side, ocean on the other. Reward: traditional Marshallese life, thatched homes, breadfruit trees, quiet beach. Lagoon calmer and clearer than any month.
December lagoon is Majuro's crown. Water clarity hits 30 meters (100 feet). Hyper-saturated aquarium below. Captains head to low-tide sandbars. Private island for hours.
Breadfruit and coconut peak in December. Families offer hands-on sessions. Grate coconut on metal stool. Mash breadfruit. Wrap fish in banana leaves for *um* oven. Smoky, earthy feast.
As the sun dips toward the horizon, the December trade winds usually soften into a gentle breeze. Sailing on a traditional outrigger canoe or a small catamaran across the lagoon's mirror-like surface is the antidote to the day's heat. The colors are unbelievable - the sky burns through orange and purple, reflecting off the water so well the line between sea and air blurs. You'll hear the splash of flying fish and the creak of the rigging, a serene soundtrack before the island's generator hum dominates the night air.
