Much like Noumea, the Solomon Islands offer tropical seclusion with cultural attractions to
boot. Its capital city, Honiara, is around a seven-hour flight from New Zealand and is renowned for its beauty and historical significance.
For the travellers craving tropical isolation, up-market accommodation like the Coral Sea Resort provide the perfect place to sink into a beachside hammock. For the travellers who also want a dash of culture and history in their tropical cocktail, Honiara also offers humbling WWII tours, including US and Japanese memorials and battle sites. WWII wrecks in the area provide some of the most memorable diving experiences in the world. Just make sure you book any dives with a qualified instructor or hold an open water dive certificate, to ensure you are covered under your TravelCare policy.
You can also visit Melanesian and Polynesian villages, and lose yourself in artisan crafts at the local markets.
