Travel Hints
 
Light cotton clothing is ideal for our tropical climate. Hats are also important as protection from the direct sun.
 
The tropical sun will burn your skin quickly. Bring plenty of sunscreen and when snorkeling, the additional protection of dark colored clothing is a good idea.
 
Reef walkers or tennis shoes will help you on the beaches and when wading in the coral bottom lagoons. 
 
Our waters are warm so you won't need your wetsuit but dive skins are good for protection from coral and jellyfish stings.
 
General Information
 

There is a GSM Cell phone system on Rongelap. We recommend visitors bring a cell phone with SIM card and GSM 900 (for Majuro and Ebeye) and 1900 (Rongelap and outer islands). GSM Triband is highly recommended as it works both ways. SIM cards are available at NTA for $15.00. There is also internet service on Rongelap.
