How to Get to Ralik

Inter-atoll travel in the Marshall Islands is by small planes (e.g., Air Marshall Islands) or by boat charters. Flights depart Majuro and other local hubs to selected atolls; schedules are limited and weather-dependent.

Tips for Visiting Ralik

  • If navigating the Marshalls, consult local atoll authorities for transport and visitor protocols-inter-atoll travel is by small plane or boat.
  • Respect local customs and landowners-access to many islands is controlled by traditional leaders.
  • Bring mosquito protection during certain seasons and plan logistics ahead-services are limited on many atolls.
