AUSTRALASIA
Solomon Islands
T
he Solomons remains an undiscovered gem for adventure travellers, divers and those seeking a genuine Melanesian experience. Flee the dusty streets of Honiara and maybe a wander through the museum, and hit the water. In the Western Province, coral islands encircle huge lagoons, volcanoes bubble away underwater, locals practise magic and summon sharks. This is a famous dive destination, thanks to the wealth of coral reefs in the Central Province area, like the Nggela Islands. Exciting underwater topography and hundreds of sunken WWII wrecks await your perusal around Ghizo Island.
