# Where should we go? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
heidikeys 00:25 UTC 28 May 2007 | Hi there, we are planning our honeymoon for late August/early September. We are looking for someplace with diving and surfing but not too resortish. We are thinking Fiji but are open to anyplace. Any ideas? |

Don't pay too much attention to the DFAT travel advisories, there is too much politics involved in the content of those, my wife and 3 year old daughter and I have just returned from over 5 weeks there and had a great time. Try the following web sites they both have great links to most of the resorts wick will give you their e-mail addresses or phone numbers. Solomon Islands Visitors Bureau: www.visitsolomons.com.sb or Fatboys Resort (has great list of links to other resorts) www.fatboysgizo.com or try Solomon Airlines or Our Airline. If you have any other queries e-mail us on bhain01@yahoo.com and we can answer any specific questions you may have. Best wishes and Good luck. | 1
bond 10:05 UTC 28 May 2007 | Would agree with no. 1, the Solomons is definetly a better option if you are looking at getting away from the "resorts on every island" and over tourism. The diving is much better then Fiji and we had no trouble travelling there earlier this year with 2 kids. Definetly get up to the Western Province, Gizo & Uepi Island Resort. Uepi is definetly the place to go for a honeymoon. Good luck. | 2
