There are 1,059 registered species of fish living in, or should I say below, the nation that is made up of 29 coral atolls and five islands.

By GUNNAR GARFORS

The Marshall Islands is ranked as one of the 25 least visited countries in the world, by significant blogger and globe-trotter Gunnar Garfors.

The RMI comes out at number five, with just 5,000 visitors a year.

But in reply to the question, “Why so few?”, Garfors says of RMI: “Try to get there. United has a monopoly on flights and knows how to price the tickets accordingly. Despite this, people may still want to visit because the diving in the atolls is world-class.”

Garfors goes on to the say that: “Marshall Islands probably is the best diving, snorkeling, and fishing nation in the world. There are 1,059 registered species of fish living in, or should I say below the nation that is made up of 29 coral atolls and five islands. That makes it ‘the fishiest country on earth,’ according to marketing materials, at least.

“Marshall Islands is hard to get to. It is my 7th to last country to visit. I do in retrospect wish I had set aside more time, and that I had done so ages ago. But being an out of the way country also prevents the feared tourist herds from coming. That, in itself, makes for a more relaxed and laidback island paradise.”
