Delap
Delap is an island district in the Marshall Islands.
It is located in the east of Majuro Atoll. Along with Uliga and Djarrit it forms what is known as the "Delap-Uliga-Djarrit".
Getting to Delap
A 1 boat dock is on the lagoon side of Uliga.

The Majuro atoll has few things to offer but is a good base for exploration of the surrounding islands.

Things to do
Scuba diving may be organized through Raycrew located in the first floor of Marshall Islands Resort. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about local dive sites. Gear may also be rented here.
Where to eat
Restaurants tend to go through phases in Majuro. No place is consistent for more than a few months. If a restaurant is really good one week, it may be completely awful the next. An always changing workforce contributes greatly to this phenomenon as does the availability of ingredients. Asking around about which places are good to eat can help greatly.
