Guadalcanal

The unspoiled beauty of the Solomon Islands is a sight to behold. Mountain spires, rugged rocky coastlines, dense rainforest and spectacular waterfalls are only a few the natural jewels adorning this necklace of islands in the South Pacific. Honiara is the capital of the most populous island, Guadalcanal.

Attractions

Don't miss the stunning Mataniko Falls or the petroglyphs of the Vauluma Posori Cave dating from 1000 BC.
