Majuro Atoll

Majuro is the largest city in and capital of the Marshall Islands. The downtown area is located north of the airport on the eastern side of the main island. It consists of the smaller towns Delap, Uliga and Darrit which are reside on islands linked by small stretches of land.

The island can be explored by foot. The only exception to this is Laura Beach. Taxis are cheap as long you stay east of the airport. To further reduce costs cab sharing is common. Getting to Laura Beach by taxi is expensive and you may have a hard time to organize a lift back. You can hitchhike your way back, though.
Rental cars run at somewhat fixed rate of $US 60 per day. None of the huge commercial rental agencies operate on the island. Hotel Robert Reimers has about a dozen cars available. A gas station is located south of Hotel Robert Reimers about two thirds of the way to the National Telecommunications Authority building .

The Majuro atoll itself has few things to offer but is a good base for exploration of the surrounding islands. The main tourist attraction is Laura Beach on the western tip of the main island about 40km away from town. As taxis to Laura Beach are quite expensive the added value of a rental car should not be neglected. Enoko Island is a small atoll about 45 minutes away from Uliga by boat. Day trips and overnight stays at their small cottages need to be arranged through the Hotel Robert Reimers.
