About Solomon Islands
Solomon Islands are laid-back, even by South Pacific standards. This Melanesian beauty beckons with subtropical forests, sun-drenched beaches and waters as clear as glass. An archipelago of nearly 1,000 islands and islets, a South Pacific holiday in the Solomon is high on serenity and privacy, with some islands only accessible by boats. From World War II relics to village visits, wreck-diving to cultural immersion, there’s so much on offer in this South Pacific paradise. Then, there’s the visual appeal – dense mangroves along clear rivers and estuaries, picture-perfect lagoons, beautiful islets and the riotously beautiful underwater seascape. Not to forget the wide variety of authentic island fare international travellers can look forward to sampling.
Flights to Solomon Islands are fairly regular from Australia, those from Brisbane take approximately three-and-a-half-hours. Outer island holidaymakers can choose to arrive at either the Honiara International Airport or the Munda International Airport, then proceed with domestic flights, boats and water taxis.
Things to Do in Solomon Islands
Given the large number of islands and islets in the Solomon Islands, there’s a dive spot for everyone to discover and take a fancy to – not to mention some spectacular ones cherry-picked by veteran divers. Diving in the Solomon Islands have their own perk of swimming and exploring the WWII wreck dotting the waters, like those of Iron Bottom. Famous for the Battle of Guadalcanal, guests can visit the American War Memorial and the Vilu War Museum to learn about the skirmishes and battles that turned these now-tranquil waters red and turbulent. Exploring the outer islands is also high on adventurers’ to-do lists. Travellers can always look forward to discovering an exquisite grotto, a puzzling stone structure or a gurgling brook hiding behind tropical bushes. Or, guests can check out the volcanic Savo Island’s ‘egg fields’ on a day-tour. Solomon Islands’ waters are a fishing haven and anglers would find giant trevally, red bass, coral trout, Pacific sailfish, blue, black striped marlin, yellowfin tunas and more tugging on their fishing lines. Fishing charters are plentiful and a full daytrip is absolute heaven! Guests will also want to cruise these aquamarine waters on luxurious live-aboard vessels for some of the more amazing charters in the South Pacific like Marovo Lagoon, Western Solomons, etc.
Best Time To Visit Solomon Islands
A South Pacific paradise, Solomon Island sports tropical oceanic weather with dry winters and wet summers. The winter months of May to October are ripe for a getaway given a pleasant average temperature of 28°C, agreeably warm waters and cool breezes. Though, an odd spell or two cannot be entirely ruled out.
Cultural events make for a great time to visit the Solomons. The annual ‘Shell Money Festival’ takes you back in time, held in the Busu Village of Malaita’s Langa Langa Lagoon in August. While the Solomon society may have moved on to modern fiat (and a few of us to NFTs!), this festival brings to life the joy of simpler times and celebrates the role of shell money in shaping their society, as vibrant as the shells themselves. Guests can witness the World War II Commemoration between August 1 to 9. A series of regal events, it honours all who fought and perished in the war. Holidayers will also want to sample the island nation’s Independence Day celebrations – a day filled with fun and fervour as well as the Vatateke Festival of the Sea which is held in conjunction with the Brisbane-Gizo Yacht Race.
Hotels and Resorts in Solomon Islands
As far as Solomon Islands accommodations are concerned, there’s plenty to choose from. From opulent getaways like Evis and Fatboys to minimal yet tasteful budget friendly options like Sanalae and Agnes. While modern hotels and resorts are there, a stay at one of the many traditional fares dotting the sandy beaches makes for an authentic experience like no other!
Guests can choose to holiday in Honiara, the Outer Islands or Guadalcanal. But one thing they can be assured of, irrespective of the location, are soothing sights of the forests, the azure waters of the Pacific and the feeling of warm sands between their toes the very moment they step outside!
Top 5 Experiences in Solomon Islands
Solomon Islands remain nature’s unspoilt playground, and will greatly appeal to the thrill-seeker in international travellers. There’s plenty to be awed by and these are the top five experiences our South Pacific Specialists regularly bill as a must-do.
Firstly, these waters are home to sunken remnants of WWII, a world unto their own, interesting corals and multitude of multi-hued fishes, all vying for your attention. For some epic dives, check out the Bonegi, Toa Maru and Shark Point dive sites. Next, visitors are welcome to pick up a surf boat and head out to the waters. Most of the surf breaks here are reef breaks and so, some degree of awareness and caution is advised. Nonetheless, surfers will want to have a taste of Santa Isabel with key breaks like Anchovies and Zoli’s. Those wanting a less touristy place will appreciate Gizo and its key breaks like Donuts and Tarzan. A day spent island-hopping is a day well-spent here in the Solomons. With around 1,000 islands and islets to discover, guests will not run out of options anytime soon.
Despite the name, the Skull Island is well worth a visit. We encourage guests to spend a day here, taking in the lore of erstwhile cannibalism and witnessing the many human skulls still dotting the island. Or, visitors could also head out to Kennedy Island for a day spent… doing nothing, for a change. It’s a holiday, ergo lazy days are necessary. What’s next on your Solomon Islands holiday? A tapestry of rocks and greens, a hike in the Solomons is a must-do. Tramp well-marked trails and catch sights of the many interesting volcanic land formations as well as the colourful flora and fauna who call this little slice of paradise their home. Check out the more popular sites like Mataniko Falls and Borare Cascades or the less touristy ones like the Choiseul province treks. Lastly, a Solomon Islands holiday is incomplete without a village visit. A quick detour to the villages of White River and Nareabu make for excellent cultural immersion, putting guests in touch with local folklores, traditions and authentic cuisine. Experience plenty of singing and dancing performances, try your hand at traditional handicraft and take some of that local knowledge home, a core memory of your fantastic holiday in the Solomon Islands!
