Is June Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
- + The trade winds are still blowing, which makes the tropical heat feel more like a warm embrace than a suffocating blanket. You can feel the difference the moment you step off the plane, a steady breeze carrying the scent of salt and frangipani, cooling your skin.
- + June sits just before the peak of the rainy season, meaning you get the lush, green landscapes without the daily deluges of July and August. The showers tend to be brief, intense affairs in the afternoon, followed by spectacular, clear sunsets.
- + It's the calm before the storm of regional travel. The crowds from larger Pacific hubs haven't yet descended, so you'll find the outer island day-trip boats less packed and the local guides more available for conversation.
- + The fishing is excellent. The giant trevally are active, and the water clarity on the lagoon side is still superb before the heavier rains stir up sediment. You can see the shadow of a 40-kilo fish moving toward your lure from 30 feet away.
- − That 12.9 inches of rain has to fall somewhere. While not constant, afternoon downpours are frequent and can be torrential, scuttling plans for lagoon picnics or last-minute snorkel trips with a swiftness that surprises first-timers.
- − Humidity is a given. But in June it clings with a particular persistence. Anything not made of quick-dry fabric will feel damp within an hour, and camera lenses fog up the moment you step from air-conditioning into the open air.
- − Some smaller, family-run operations for outer island visits might be temporarily closed or running reduced schedules, as locals use this relative lull for maintenance and family time before the busier months.
Best Activities in June
Top things to do during your visit
June is arguably the best month to make the drive or join a tour to Laura, at the far western end of the atoll. The recent rains mean the freshwater lens beneath the island is replenished, supporting the breadfruit and pandanus trees that look their most lively. The drive itself, along the 30-mile (48 km) ribbon of road, offers views of the lagoon on one side and the open ocean on the other, with the breeze keeping the car comfortable. The showers here tend to be lighter and shorter than in downtown Majuro.
This is prime time for GT fishing inside the lagoon. The water is warm, the fish are feeding aggressively, and the morning hours before the typical afternoon cloud build-up are sheer magic on the water, glassy calm, with the only sound being the scream of your reel. The fight with a trevally is a visceral, muscle-straining experience you can feel in your bones.
Before the summer rains set in, visibility on the protected lagoon side can still reach 80 feet (24 meters). Sites like the Japanese Wreck or the coral gardens near Enemanet Island are alive with color. The water temperature is bath-like, and the lack of strong currents makes it good for relaxed, long sessions in the water.
When a rain squall hits, it's the perfect cue to dive into the indoor history of the islands. June is a good time for this, as the guides aren't overwhelmed. You'll feel the cool concrete of the Alele Museum underfoot, hear the rustle of historic petition documents, and get the real, subtle stories behind the exhibits on nuclear testing and canoe navigation.
