Day Trip Planning Tips

Make the most of your excursions.

💡

Bring all food, water, and supplies to Eneko Island as there are no facilities on the uninhabited island

💡

For Arno Atoll, the day trip by scheduled boat returns late afternoon — overnight stay at Beachcomber's Lodge is the recommended option for a less rushed experience

💡

Arrange all boat trips the day before through your hotel — last-minute bookings may not be possible

💡

Cash is essential for all outer atoll locations as no ATMs or card facilities exist beyond Majuro
