Helpful Tips
Air Marshall Islands operates infrequent flights between outer atolls, so book well in advance as schedules are limited and change often.
Majuro has one main road running the length of the atoll, so taxis and shared rides simply go east or west, tell the driver your destination landmark rather than an address.
There is no formal public transit system on Majuro. Shared taxis are the standard way locals get around, so flag one down along the main road.
For travel between atolls without flying, cargo and passenger vessels operate on irregular schedules, check with the local port authority in Majuro before planning inter-atoll trips.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed or informal transport overcharging: Majuro has no metered taxi system, so drivers meeting arriving flights may quote inflated fares to visitors unfamiliar with local distances. This is a general concern in small Pacific island nations with limited ground transport options rather than a Marshall Islands-specific scam. Ask your hotel or host to arrange pickup in advance, or confirm a fare before getting in.
Informal porter or baggage-help fees: At small airports with limited staff, unofficial helpers may offer to carry bags and then expect a disproportionate tip or fee. This is a generic small-airport tactic seen across remote Pacific destinations, not unique to the Marshall Islands. Politely decline unsolicited help or agree on a small amount beforehand.
Limited vendor markup: The few vendors or shops near the airport may charge significantly above local prices for drinks, snacks, or SIM cards, taking advantage of the lack of nearby alternatives. This is common at isolated airports worldwide. Purchasing essentials in Majuro town typically offers better value.
