Remote Coral Triangle reefs, WWII wrecks and kastom-managed lagoons
Where you stay shapes the trip. Compare the setting, seasons and local transport before choosing your accommodation.
World War II wrecks, Coral Triangle reefs, and Guadalcanal history within reach of the capital
Honiara uses taxis, minibuses, hotel vehicles, rental cars, and operator pickups. Minibuses are inexpensive in town but not ideal with dive gear.
Frontier day-boat diving, WWII wrecks, and kastom lagoon culture from the Western Province gateway
There is limited formal public transport around Munda. Most practical movement is by hotel pickup, short local taxi, walking around town, or longboat.
A remote Coral Triangle liveaboard route of jungle cuts, fish-choked walls, village anchorages, and World War II wrecks
Honiara has taxis, minibuses, hotel transfers, and rental vehicles, but cash is important. Outer islands use small boats, domestic flights, resort transfers, and local vehicles.
Remote wrecks, reef pinnacles, and living WWII history across Iron Bottom Sound
There is no rideshare-style transport network to rely on. In Honiara, use taxis, hotel transfers, dive center pickups, or pre-arranged drivers.
Small-resort reef wilderness on the edge of the world's largest saltwater lagoon
On Uepi, transport is by foot, resort path, kayak, SUP, or operator boat. In Honiara, use hotel transfers, taxis, minibuses, or car hire.
Sunbeam cuts, WWII relics and jungle-fringed Coral Triangle reefs
In Honiara, use hotel shuttles, taxis, minibuses, car hire or operator transfers. Once the boat leaves Honiara, transport is by liveaboard tender, charter boat, local tinny or permission-led village pickup.
Wrecks, reef passages and village lagoons in the wild west of the Solomons
In Gizo, many errands are walkable, while airport transfers, island resorts, snorkel sites and dive sites use boats. In Munda and Marovo Lagoon, lodges usually coordinate road or boat pickups.
