Out & About
FOR THOSE HOPING to peer through the keyhole into a different world, the Solomon Islands has a range of diverse cultural experiences to offer.
Visiting some of the country’s more populated regions provides an insight into unfamiliar city life, particularly evident in Honiara. Home to well over 60,000 people, the national capital, located on the island of Guadalcanal, plays host to the country’s most substantial market that has become renowned for its vibrancy, offering an unimaginable range of fresh foods.
Away from the lively commercial spots and urban areas, the Solomon Islands offers an abundance of remote areas that are perfect for exploration, referred to by Tourism Solomons as “nature’s unspoilt playground”.
In this sense, the archipelago is the ideal destination for those seeking adventure and a complete getaway from the routine and normality of western life, whether that be through hiking, surfing or diving.
From its expansive and rich emerald jungles to the golden shores and turquoise waters of each and every one of the islands’ beaches, the country offers picture-perfect views from every angle.
Meanwhile, the national culture is as equally extensive, displaying some of the world’s most fascinating World War Two relics and a remarkable heritage to match.
