"Getting to Midway" a Midway Islands Travel Page by Laysan

Midway Atoll - Out more then a thousand miles from the closest outpost of civilization the pale sands of Midway Atoll peek out above the deep blue of the Pacific
Ocean like an oasis.

Midway's Sublime natural beauty and rich history as the site of a critical World War II battle
make it an attractive spot to visit.

But it's also a place you can't get to easily from anywhere, unless you're a really
plucky traveler.

If you don't own a boat or plane for the 1,300-mile journey from Honolulu, the
main options for private travel to the distant atoll can be daunting: either board a cruise
from Asia, hitch a ride with one of the handful resident government workers, or
volunteer for three months of environmental duty.
