Wellness Center
A great eating out treat can be found at the Wellness Center next to Majuro Hospital in Delap. The focus of the food is healthy, to match its mission: Canvasback Missions started the Wellness Center on Majuro in conjunction with the Ministry of Health in 2005 in response to the increasing incidents of diabetes and Read More
Eneko Island
One of Majuro’s most beautiful and accessible beach getaways is Eneko Island, which is on Majuro’s northern shore about 25 minutes by boat from downtown Uliga. Owned by the Reimers family, the highlight is a small cottage on the beach. Nearby is a simple building with three bedrooms (one with a double bed, the others with Read More
Majuro in the 1970s
August, 2017: Forty-one years ago, Eldred ‘Al’ Fewkes arrived on Majuro to help Jerry Kramer of Pacific International Inc. build a copra plant, bringing with him his wife Ruth and son Gary. Now we can look back in time at Majuro thanks to Gary scanning in some of the many photographs his family took between Read More
Won Hai Shien
Won Hai Shien is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Majuro. Over the past 15 years or so, the eatery has suffered from a huge fire and being asked to leave their Uliga Dock venue but, fortunately, in 2017 the owners reopened in a new location in Uliga. The menu has an extensive range of options, Read More
Restrooms Review
The morning mantra: “Money? Tick. Keys? Tick. iPhone? Tick. Toilet paper? Tick.” Really? Really. (You just can’t be sure the restrooms you will be using as you move around Majuro will have the necessary ‘soft and absorbent’ stuff at your fingertips.) And why do all bathrooms have large red Folger coffee cans (or buckets, or old Read More
Flying Tour of Uliga, Majuro
Enjoying dinner at Aliang Restaurant near Uliga Dock one evening, I spotted a young man watching an aerial video of the nearby Uliga area on his laptop. It gave a new perspective to this downtown area of Majuro, capital of the Marshall Islands. The chap was Gilbert Lin and he’d been out that day playing Read More
A Day Out to Laura Beach
Take the tour! Join me with a group of cruisers and their friends as we ride in a commuter van and a pick-up truck on a land voyage to Laura. We were 15 in total and stopped in some quite surprising places… Tobolar: The copra processing plant It’s the smell that you really notice Read More
Food Stores
The two largest fresh produce and general food outlets in Majuro are Island Pride Supermarket, next to the capital building in Delap, and Payless Supermarket in Uliga south of the Court House. Both stores have produce flown in weekly and shipped in either monthly or twice a month. If the fresh produce shelves are looking Read More
Laundries
There are numerous laundries scattered around town. Most will do the washing for you, but it’s best to work out in advance the payment. Some only charge for the cost of the machines plus soap, some have a set add-on. For yachties, probably the most handy is the RRE Laundromat next to Air Marshall Islands Read More
