You can reach Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands via Fiji, Brisbane or Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. With a total population of 300 000 there are very few cities and most people still live a very basic life in the villages. Tourism is only starting to discover this precious part of the Pacific. Travelling to the Solomon Islands remains an adventure even today, but those who make the effort will not be disappointed. The islands have a well-deserved reputation as possibly amongst the world's best destination for scuba divers and snorkellers.

The Solomons played a strategic role during World War II and this is born out by the number of WWII navel wrecks in the waters of Iron Bottom Sound. The walls, reefs, pinnacles and coral gardens are what many divers come to the Solomons to enjoy. Brilliant soft and hard corals, huge sea fans and a world of pelagics as well as many unidentified species of reef fish make diving in the Solomons an adventure you won't forget. The enormous variety and numbers of marine species, along with sunken WW II ships and aircraft, have made this region one of the world's top dive locations. The liveaboards cruise a number of the best sites but land-based operations exist on most of the main islands.

Both MV Bilikiki and MV Spirit of Solomons operate from Honiara, on Guadalcanal Island, to dive sites in the Florida Islands, the Russell Islands, Mborokua (Mary) Island and Marovo Lagoon in the New Georgia Islands.
