Resorts in Munda
About Munda
Although remote by international standards, Munda remains one of the undiscovered gems of diving in the world. Close to the fantastically-beautiful lagoons of Roviana and Vonavona, Munda is an hour’s flight from Honiara. From Gizo, it is but an hour’s boat ride away. Quiet, tranquil and boasting of diving hotspots, Munda is surrounded by small islands with perfect white sand beaches, swaying palm trees and crystal-clear emerald green waters – perfect for a Robinson Crusoe-esque getaway.
What to do in and around Munda - Attractions, Activities and Beyond
With two superbly beautiful lagoons nearby – Roviana and the Vona Vona, this tropical getaway is an absolute delight for holidayers interested in water-based activities and adventures. The lagoon’s calm and warm waters are particularly great for early morning relaxing swims, and kayaking. Plus, both the lagoons are home to vibrant, healthy coral gardens. Guests can easily spend an afternoon exploring these underwater wonderlands and clicking pictures of the colourful marine flora and fauna.
The waters in and around Munda are also quite the diver’s haven. Coral colonies, steep walls, WWII wrecks and crystal-clear waters make it a delight to dive in these parts! Guests should absolutely dive at hotspots like the Shark Point, Cave of the Kastom Shark, and the sunken WWII wrecks – Kashi Maru and the F4F-4 Wildcat. Experienced divers will not want to give Koviki Corsair a pass.
Then, the two lagoons mean plenty of fish in… ‘the sea’ – factor in the clear, calm waters and we have anglers’ happy days! Expect to catch black marlins, sea bass, different kinds of tuna and mahi-mahi. Then, enjoy it freshly grilled right on the beach or release it back into the waters to live/catch another day.
First-time travellers are recommended to visit Skull Island for a day of thrills, lore and learning- and the nearby Kennedy Island for a day of history and relaxation! Also, do visit the Peter Joseph WWII museum. This private collection showcases utensils, ammunition and personal gear left behind by the Japanese and the Americans after the culmination of the great war. History buffs and army veterans will be right at home at this WWII museum.
A South Pacific holiday without a village visit is incomplete. What begins as a quick jaunt can quickly transform into a full-fledged cultural experience! Visitors to villages get to experience live cultural activities, sample the indigenous ways of life and living – mix of tradition and modernity, and get to taste authentic island fare. Round it off with a day browsing the local outlets selling handicrafts and memorabilia and what you have is an excellent culmination to a beautiful Solomon Islands holiday.
