Top 10 Things to See and Do on the Solomon Islands

Get more Tips here!

Taking a trip to the Solomon Islands will be unlike any other vacation you’ve ever experienced. When visiting one of the last untouched destinations in the Pacific, here are 10 things to see and do.

1. See the Traditional Villages
Choose the Kmaga Village experience where you’ll sleep in a beachfront bungalow and receive top-notch hospitality from the villages’ chief and local families.


2. Visit Central Market in Honiara
Head to Central Market in Honiara on the island of Guadalcanal. The stands are lined with crafts made by talented artisans, fresh fish, fruits, and veggies, and handmade souvenirs for you to take back home.


3. Rent a Boat
Various companies offer boat charters, or you can get behind the wheel and navigate the Pacific on your own. But you can always rent a kayak for a few hours and take in the sights as you paddle along the coast.


4. Snorkel in the Bonegis
They are known for being the best places to explore the Solomons’ marine life. Beneath the Pacific, you’ll see beautiful coral reefs, tropical fish, octopus, and maybe even a few shipwrecks from World War II.


5. The Vilu War Museum
The remnants from those battles during WWII with Japanese and American aircrafts can be found at this open-air museum located deep within the forest of Honiara.


6. Go Birdwatching
Grab your binoculars and your long-focus lens camera and make the trek out to Imbu Rano Lodge. Some of the bird species that you’re likely to encounter include parrots, kingfishers, and white-eyes.


7. Travel to Skull Island
Catch a plane to Munda. And take a boat to Vonavona Lagoon to reach the country’s most sacred place: Skull Island. It’s surrounded by human skulls who were killed during the islands’ headhunting days.


8. Chew a Betel Nut
You should take part in some of their traditional ceremonies, including a little bit of betel nut chewing. A betel nut is the brown or yellow seed of the Areca palm, and users have cited a euphoric feeling while chewing on the nut. All we have to say is: chew at your own risk!


9. Hike Up Kolombangara
This volcano last erupted 10,000 years ago. You’ll need a tour guide to lead you along the way and hack away at the overgrown brush that covers the trail. And after two days, you’ll finally reach the crater.


10. Fall in Love With Tenaru Falls
If you enjoy the great outdoors, we guarantee you’ll fall in love with Tenaru Falls near Honiara. To reach the falls, it’s best to rent a 4WD vehicle because it’s no easy trek through the rough and treacherous path. But it’s definitely worth the drive!

Solomons - Walande Island - The Final Story

Walande was an artificial island - a rock platform made from lumps of coral gathered from the reef over several hundred years. In 1966 it had 200 inhabitants and the houses were built flat on the rock surface. In 2002, when visited by BBC Blue Peter presenter, Simon Thomas, the houses were built on tall stilts and there were 1,200 inhabitants. In recent years climate change has caused the sea level to rise and turbulence has all but destroyed the island. In 2016 there were only 4 inhabitants. Dr Ivan Haigh, Associate Professor at the National Oceanography Centre, assesses the impacts of Climate Change.

Lost $11,000 in Video Gear & Almost My Life: My Solomon Islands Survival Story

Our adventure in the Solomon Islands was a wake-up call. We were one of the first big tour groups to visit since the pandemic and what we experienced was a shocker. During our trip, we encountered major safety challenges and even experienced a traumatic event. We were lucky to survive due to the lack of proper rescue infrastructure. Despite our meeting with the tourism office, their promises to address the situation have gone unfulfilled, and it's unacceptable. I also want to emphasize that GPS devices are unreliable in this region, further highlighting the urgent need for the local government to establish a dependable rescue system if the tourism industry wants to thrive. It's time for the industry to take action and ensure that tourists are protected. We deserve to have peace of mind when traveling, and it's time for our voices to be heard.

INSURE YOUR EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT! We highly recommend Professional Photographers of America:

A Tourist's guide to Honiara, Solomon Islands

Part 2 of my South Pacific trip.

From Port Moresby, I fly into the Solomon Island's hectic, pot-holed capital Honiara. I walk about seeing the main sights, then catch a taxi into the hills to see the American and Japanese War Memorials.

Honiara isn't pretty, but its safe enough.

Solomon Islands 2023

Well, after a three year postponement, due to you know what, we finally made it to the Solomon Islands. But not without a few dramas on the way. First thing we found upon arrival at Honiara airport, was that our rod tube had sustained a massive impact. Later, when we arrived at our accommodation we discovered that three of our rods were damaged and unuseable. Which pretty much limited our fishing to trolling lures.
The other little drama, which was a little unnerving at the time, was shortly after takeoff in the Twin Otter to Seghe. We'd been airborne for about five minutes or so, when the crew turned the plane back to Honiara airport. We circled for a while then landed, turned out the radio had stopped working. Took about an hour to fix before we were on our way again.

War Canoe and Head Hunting, Solomon Islands / ソロモン諸島 戦闘カヌーとヘッドハンティング

#canoe #SolomonIslands #PacificIslands #カヌー #丸木舟 #ソロモン諸島
War canoe paddling and performance of battle at the 11th Festival of Pacific Arts held in the Solomon Islands in 2012. Traditional war canoes called Tomoko gathered from New Georgia Island, Solomon Islands, to the capital Honiara. Tomoko was used for head hunting and slave capture until the early 20th century. Today, the demonstration of paddling Tomoko, catching a treasure necklace and head hunting is a tourism resource.

第11回太平洋芸術祭(2012年)のアトラクション、ソロモン諸島伝統の戦闘カヌー漕走と戦いのパフォーマンス。トモコと呼ばれる戦闘カヌーが、ニュージョージア島から首都ホニアラに集まった。トモコは、20世紀初頭まで首刈りや奴隷捕獲で使われた戦闘カヌーで、現在はトモコを漕いで村に上陸し、財宝の首輪を捕ったり、首を狩るパフォーマンスが観光資源となっている。

The CANOES ???? of the SOLOMON ISLANDS, iconic images! (Pacific Ocean)

Solomon Islands, Pacific Ocean - the iconic canoes, the canoes of the Solomon Islands, views of canoes in the Solomon Islands, Pacific Ocean. Here are some wonderful scenes describing the canoe usage in the beautiful Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The canoe is the main mode of transportation in the Solomon Islands and I am trying here to show you some vivid images on how the canoes are used in the Solomon Islands, the different kinds, sizes, etc.
Solomon Islanders carve these canoes out of mature trees. A variety of woods are used. Each island in the Solomon's has a different name for these canoes including: hola (Mailata Island), mola (Western Province), and nogo (Utupua Island). Paddles are used to propel the canoes through the water.
Many local traditions and ceremonies tended to surround the construction, launching, use, and storage of these craft, though in modern times some of the more “colourful” ones, such as the necessity for human sacrifice at the launching ceremony have been abandoned!
