Live Your Best Lives
The Republic of the Marshall Islands, also known as the Marshall Islands, is located in the central Pacific Ocean. It comprises over 1,200 islands and reefs, spread across over two million square kilometers of ocean, forming two chains of islands running northwest-southeast. The most famous atoll is called "Bikini," and the bikini swimsuit, now seen on beaches, originated here, named after a garment worn by the locals.
Most of the Marshall Islands is now designated as a US military base, and entry is prohibited without permission. At the airport and on government buildings, you can see the US and Marshallese flags side by side. The capital, Mazurow, is incredibly scenic, but virtually devoid of tourists. The streets are deserted, and the locals lead a leisurely and simple life. In 2017, the European Union announced it would blacklist the Marshall Islands as a tax haven.

Bikal Atoll
Bikar is the smallest atoll in the Marshall Islands, located north of the Latak Islands. It was once a major seabird habitat, and although its numbers have declined significantly in recent years, it remains important. Bikar is also a crucial nesting site for the endangered green turtle.
Aur Atoll
Aur Atoll, part of the Ratak Islands (also known as the Sunrise Islands), is a small atoll consisting of three main islands (Tabal, Aur, and Bigen) and 39 smaller islands. Locals are skilled in crafting model boats and giant wall hangings. The lakes of Aur Atoll offer excellent diving opportunities. Additionally, the area is home to abundant tropical fish and coral, as well as sea turtles and small sharks.
Arno Atoll
Arno Atoll is one of the main atolls in the Marshall Islands, located south of the Latak Islands (also known as the Sunrise Islands). The waters off Longar Point offer excellent offshore fishing, teeming with marlin, eel, tuna, and swordfish. Every month, over 4,500 kilograms of tuna and reef fish are shipped to the Majuro market.
It is recommended to visit for 2 to 3 days
The Marshall Islands were settled by Micronesian peoples centuries ago and later became a German colony, then a Japanese mandate, and finally came under U.S. administration after WWII. They are historically significant for WWII battles, nuclear testing, and unique Marshallese culture.
The Marshall Islands are located in the central Pacific Ocean. You can reach the main atolls via flights from Honolulu, Guam, or other Pacific hubs. Local transport includes taxis, small buses, and boats between islands.
Most attractions, museums, and cultural sites operate during daytime hours, roughly 9 AM to 5 PM. The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April.
