The Hapi Isles: Discover Solomon Islands’ Adventure Potential

The Solomon Islands is one of the world’s remotest corners where travellers can experience unfiltered, adrenaline-pumping adventure. With more than 900 islands – of which only about 147 are inhabited, there is still so much that remain unexplored. The main islands are volcanic from origin, covered with tropical forests, fast-flowing rivers and streams, and home to scores of endemic flora and fauna. And we haven’t even stepped into the Pacific Ocean surrounding the Solomons – pun unintended.

Solomons – Where History Meets Untouched Island Paradise

In 1568, Spanish explorer Alvaro de Mendana first discovered the Solomon Islands on one of his expeditions and believed that he had discovered King Solomon’s riches. Well, in today’s perspective – he was kind of right. Solomons’ natural beauty, centuries of preserved culture, mind-boggling scuba-diving, and the genuine warmth of its people are far more impressive, and intrinsically valuable than coal and nickel mines.

The Technicolor coral reefs, deep-sea drop-offs and vibrant marine life make it the one of the best places for scuba divers. Not only is the Solomons known for its unique underwater beauty, it is also home to significant WWII history. For history buffs, the islands’ numerous shipwrecks and crashed aircraft from WWII make for excellent day tours. A note here, though: a few of the wrecks require considerable diving expertise – we highly recommend checking in with local dive operators who can guide your way to appropriate dive sites.

Ride The Pacific’s Well-Kept Secret
