The South Pacific as you always dreamed it - as beautiful below as it is above. For travellers with a passion for adventure and exploration, Where you can make the first footprints on an isolated stretch of beach and marvel at
Diving The Solomon Islands are justly famous for an abundance of exotic fish, colourful reefs and fascinating wrecks (left over from the intense fighting during World War II). Guadalcanal witnessed some of the worst naval battles of WWII and it was here that the tide was turned in the Pacific campaign. As such, "Iron Bottom Sound", near Honiara, is strewn with many wrecks. The wrecks, having created artificial reefs, attract masses of fish and an incredible variety of coral life. In the Western Province, Gizo is the perfect base from which to explore this fascinating region with its many unsurpassed dive sites. The sparkling, clear waters offer vast, unsullied reefs, eerie wrecks from WWII naval battles and drift dives on coral walls, caves and fish life. One of the most intact and diveable wrecks is that of the Toa Maru, a Japanese transport which was sunk by American bombers in 1943. A view of the wreck reveals trucks, tanks, ammunition and even sake bottles. A tourist spot for those with a sense of history is Kennedy Island. In August 1943, a future US President, John F Kennedy, swam to shore here after his patrol boat PT-109 was rammed by a Japanese destroyer.
