Getting there
By air, then by water
International flights arrive in Honiara. From there, domestic flights reach the Western Province, and the final leg into the lagoon is by boat. Confirmed routes and transfers will be listed here.
Planning
Before you go
We're gathering accurate, up-to-date details with people on the ground. This page will fill in as information is confirmed.
Where to stay
Local hospitality
We plan to feature locally owned lodges, homestays and guesthouses as details are confirmed with their owners.
When to go
Warm all year
The lagoon is tropical and warm year-round. Guidance on seasons, weather and local events will be added with local input.
Check before you travel. Transport, schedules and entry requirements change. Always confirm with airlines, operators and official Solomon Islands sources before booking.
Travel responsibly
Be a good guest
Every island, reef and garden in the lagoon belongs to someone. A little care goes a long way.
- Ask before photographing people, homes or villages.
- Land, reefs and islands are customarily owned — ask before landing, swimming, fishing or diving.
- Dress modestly in villages, and respect Sunday as a day of worship.
- Use locally owned guides, boats, food and places to stay where you can.
- Take your rubbish with you, and leave reefs and shells where they are.
