Solomon Islands

Discover local history in the small port capital of Honiara, before setting sail for the outer islands on our Secrets of Melanesia voyage aboard the polar vessel, Spirit of Enderby

Head for the remote southern shores of Santa Isabel island, exploring countless inlets, channels and bays; and anchor on the western shore of Malaita to explore the island’s lush forest-clad hills and laidback lagoon

Head ashore to find a world that few outsiders have experienced—dazzling endemic flora and fauna, and isolated villages where time-honoured traditions and elaborately costumed dancers welcome you
