The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Marshall Islands depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Marshall Islands

Holidays & Events

The best time to visit the Marshall Islands includes the dry months of January through March in the central and southern atolls and December through April in the northern atolls. The weather is then most favorable for beachcombing, scuba diving, water sports and hiking. Most days are sunny and bright, and the rains that occur do not impede recreation in any way.

In other months, heavy rains, strong winds and storms can make travel difficult - especially during the wettest months from September to November.
