Ratak, Marshall Islands
State guide with cities, regions, and key information.
Introduction
The Ratak, or Sunrise, Chain forms the eastern side of the Marshall Islands and includes Majuro, the national capital and principal visitor gateway. Beyond Majuro, travel becomes increasingly remote and dependent on limited air or sea connections.
Discover Ratak
Majuro is the Ratak Chain's logistical center and the sensible base for arranging accommodation, transport and local guidance. Its long, narrow settlement follows the atoll road between lagoon and ocean shores.
Travel Types
Lagoon and Reef
Locally arranged boating, snorkeling and diving in clear but environmentally sensitive waters.
Capital Stopover
Use Majuro for essential logistics, cultural context and short lagoon-side exploration.
Remote Atolls
Carefully planned journeys where transport, permission and supplies are confirmed in advance.
Plan beyond Majuro carefully
- •Confirm return transport before departing for an outer atoll.
- •Carry sufficient cash and essential supplies for delays.
- •Ask permission before entering private land or community spaces.
