Marshall Islands

Getting around

Boat

Only Arno is served by regular public boats. State-run supply ships travel irregularly to the outer atolls; the Department of Transportation Office (625 3469) at Uliga Dock on Majuro can provide details. Private boats are more frequent.

Car & motorcycle

Hire

Formal car hire is only available on Majuro, and costs about US$50 per day. Insurance seems to be an optional extra, at around US$15 per day.

There is no formal motorcycle hire, though you might be able to work something out locally.

Local transport

There are no regular public buses on Majuro, but shared taxis are abundant and cheap in central D-U-D and there are some taxis on Ebeye. Organised public transport is rare in the outer islands.

Air

Air Marshall Islands (AMI; 625 3733; www.airmarshallislands.com) flies to most of the Marshalls' inhabited atolls once a week and has a service between Majuro and Kwajalein every day except Thursday and Sunday (US$310 return).

Bicycle

Flat coral atolls are great for bikes but if you want to cycle you'll have to bring your own, as there's no bike hire.
