Culture & Travel Tips
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit is during the dry season from December to April. The wet season (May-November) brings more rain but temperatures remain consistent (27-30°C year-round). Trade winds provide some relief from heat.
Cultural Notes
Marshallese culture values navigation traditions (stick charts), weaving, and community. The nuclear testing period (1946-1958) profoundly affected the society with ongoing health and displacement issues. The country is strongly Christian. Traditional crafts include fine mats and baskets.
Insider Tips
Marshallese and English are official languages. The US Dollar is the currency. The country has a Compact of Free Association with the US. Nuclear testing history is significant but controversial to discuss. Diving on WWII wrecks at Bikini Atoll is world-class but requires special arrangements. Infrastructure is basic.
