Located east of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands archipelago is a melting pot of cultural diversity mixing together Asians, Polynesians, Micronesians and Melanesians in a sometimes noisy blend of traditions and vanities.
A splendid destination for fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving, these islands hide under their turquoise waters not only a spectacular marine life, but also plenty of vessels sunken in the World War II Pacific battles, ensuring quite a unique diving experience. With a relatively low developed tourist industry, the Solomon Islands are one of the last unspoiled travel destinations left out there, so enjoy them while you can. |
