Rules in force · 9Coral roads, heat and no shade
  • Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
  • Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
  • Micronesia ↗Micronesia runs on a handful of weekly flights, so one cancellation can cost several days: build slack into every connection between islands.
  • Marshall Islands ↗Entry rules are the Marshall Islands' own, not US rules: check with RMI immigration or a Marshall Islands embassy for your passport before booking, and carry an onward ticket.
  • Marshall Islands ↗Visits to outer atolls usually need permission from the local government or landowners, and some charge a visitor fee; arrange them through your hotel or the tourism office.
  • Marshall Islands ↗Kwajalein Atoll hosts a US Army base: access is restricted to authorised people.
  • Majuro Atoll ↗The island-hopper flies a few days a week and can be cancelled: keep a spare day before any onward international flight.
  • Majuro ↗Coral roads, heat and no shade: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Majuro ↗After dark, take a taxi door to door; the road is dark in places and dogs roam.

Know before you go

  • Laura is a village on the widest part of the atoll, and the land belongs to local families: ask before you cross private land.
  • There are few shops: bring water, food, sunscreen and a hat.
  • There are no lifeguards; the current is stronger near channels.
  • Wear reef shoes; coral is sharp.
  • Do not take shells, coral or plants.

Best time of day

Go early, with a driver. Plan 150–240 min inside.
