Arno Atoll
Arṇo
A neighboring atoll east of Majuro, about 1–2 hours by boat, known for its quiet outer-island villages, pearl farming and deep-sea fishing.
Arṇo Atoll lies about 20 km by sea from Majuro. It is enclosed by over a hundred small reef islets and is the most easily reached “outer island” from the capital, preserving more traditional Marshallese village life. Visitors can go by chartered boat or local boat to snorkel, go deep-sea fishing (famous for sailfish and tuna), visit a black pearl farm, or eat coconut crab at a villager’s home. Facilities on the islands are very basic, so arrange boats through the visitors’ bureau or your hotel, and mind sea conditions and return times.
