Backpacking or travelling in the Solomon Islands?

  • The (more than 900!!) Solomon Islands are good for both the active traveller and the nature seeker. On these beautiful volcanic islands you will find ancient jungles, beautiful beaches and a wonderful, biodiverse sea, but you can also enjoy many active sports. It is an undertaking to travel around, but because of that you will also find less tourists and more adventure.
  • Activities to spot: dive at Iron Bottom Sound; relax and explore on Tetepare Island; visit Skull Island and learn about the cultural history; walk on Kolombangara; buy local crafts at the Honiara Market; snorkel and kayak through the Marovo Lagoon - the largest saltwater lagoon in the world; learn traditional dance and music from the locals in Malaita; surf in Gizo; dive in natural mud baths on Savo Island.
  • Animal spotting: dugongs, giant turtles, lionfish, reef sharks, tropical birds, sea snakes, dolphins, whales etc.
  • Food spotting: kokoda, roasted breadfruit, taro in coconut milk, fresh papaya and mango, lobster, sago pudding, cassava chips, coconut water.

Travel in Solomon Islands?

  • If you are looking for small volcanic islands in a cobalt blue sea, green jungle, mangroves and traditional villages with a canopy of leaves, you can go to the Solomon Islands. Don't expect a typical beach holiday, but traditional guesthouses and ecotourism. Prefer an active holiday? The Solomon Islands are great for surfing, snorkelling, kayaking or climbing a volcano.

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
