EbeyeEbeij

Spend a single day on Ebeye for a quick look at the lagoon view and reef snorkel; no need to stay overnight.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Ebeye is a densely populated island on Kwajalein Atoll with limited tourist facilities. A day is enough to see the lagoon park, snorkel the reef, and sample the lone café before returning to Majuro or the Kwajalein base.

Rules in force · 6
  • 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.

Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
