# Short Visit to Solomon Islands Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands
beyond85 06:34 UTC 04 May 2016 | Hi, I've arranged a last minute (and very short) trip to Solomon Islands and was wondering what a good itinerary might look like for 5 or 6 days? I'm a solo traveller and would ideally spend a day or two diving, with the rest of the time visiting the islands/hiking/exploring local culture. Is one of Munda/Gizo/Uepi for diving worth it for only a couple of days (by making use of the internal flights) ? Or better to divide my time between say Savo and Malaita Island which are closer to Honiara? Any thoughts/idea very appreciated! |
