Nauru Airlines successfully stabilized its “Island Hopper” alternative route in mid-2025, offering a viable southbound connection for Europeans routing via Brisbane or Fiji. This service connects Nauru to Majuro and Pohnpei, breaking United’s long-standing monopoly on the route. For European travelers, this opens up a “Circle Pacific” itinerary—flying into Majuro via Micronesia and exiting south towards Australia, rather than backtracking to Hawaii. Prices are typically €200-300 lower than United’s one-way fares, but the schedule is less frequent (currently weekly).

Marshallese culture is conservative regarding thigh exposure. Women should wear skirts or shorts that cover the knees (often called “basket” style locally) or wrap a lava-lava (sarong) over swimwear. Walking around town in a bikini or short shorts is considered disrespectful and will draw negative attention. Men should wear t-shirts rather than going shirtless in town. On private resort islands or uninhabited islets, standard swimwear is fine, but cover up immediately when returning to the main village.

The most reliable route is flying from a major European hub (FRA, LHR, CDG) to Honolulu (HNL) via the US West Coast, and then catching the United Airlines “Island Hopper” or direct service to Majuro. The total travel time is grueling—often 30+ hours. A smarter strategy is to break the journey with a 24-hour stopover in Honolulu to rest. Alternatively, you can fly Europe to Asia (Tokyo or Manila), connect to Guam, and fly the Island Hopper eastbound, but connections often require an overnight stay in Guam.

Yes, the National Telecommunications Authority (NTA) usually has a counter or presence, but it’s safer to visit their main office in town if the airport kiosk is closed. A 4G SIM card costs about $15-20 USD (€14-19) with a data package. Coverage is decent along the main road of Majuro but drops off significantly on outer islands or the drive to Laura. European roaming plans typically charge extortionate rates (€10+ per MB) in this region, so a local SIM is essential.

No, do not drink the tap water. Most tap water is rainwater collected from catchments and is not treated to potable standards for tourists. Stick to bottled water for drinking and brushing your teeth. Ice in major hotels is usually made from purified water and is safe, but be cautious with ice in smaller roadside stalls. Bottled water is widely available in supermarkets, though slightly expensive due to shipping costs.

The Marshall Islands uses the US-style Type A and Type B plugs (two flat pins, sometimes with a round ground pin) running on 110-120V. European devices use Type C/F plugs and 220V, so you will need a plug adapter. Crucially, check your device labels: if your hairdryer or shaver says “220V only” (not “110-240V”), it will run slowly or not at all. Most modern phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage and only need the physical adapter.

The biggest threat on land is aggressive stray dogs in Majuro. Carry a walking stick or “dog rock” (a local custom of pretending to pick up a stone) if walking in residential areas to deter them. In the water, be aware of stonefish and cone shells in the shallows—wear reef shoes. Sharks are present (mostly reef sharks) and generally not aggressive to swimmers, but standard ocean safety applies. There are no venomous snakes or large land predators.

We monitor pricing anomalies on the major long-haul legs that get you to the Pacific gateway hubs (Honolulu, Guam, or Tokyo). While the final leg to Majuro is often fixed-price, we find massive savings on the Europe-to-US or Europe-to-Asia portion. For example, we might detect a €450 fare from Frankfurt to Los Angeles (normally €900) or a Business Class drop to Tokyo. By combining these Superdeals with a standard ticket to Majuro, members can shave 40-60% off the total trip cost. Our free newsletter alerts you the moment these gateway deals appear.

Superdeals are not third-party tickets; they are direct booking links to the airline’s official website. When we find a price drop—say, Lufthansa or United lowering fares to the Pacific region—we send you directly to them to book. This means you hold a ticket issued directly by the carrier, ensuring you have full federal protections and customer service access. In a region like the Pacific where schedules can change due to weather, having a direct relationship with the airline is crucial for rebooking, rather than fighting with a budget travel agency call center.
