# 14 days in the Solomons Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
jayezito 13:41 UTC 05 Dec 2016 | Hello Thank you to all who have posted and replied previously, its so hard to find info about the solomons so the posts here are invaluable! I am travelling to the solomons next June to get married and for a honeymoon. This will be my 2nd time in the solomons and we are interested in diving, fishing, snorkelling and local culture. I am a bit stuck on the last bit of the itinerary and wondering if anyone can help. This is the proposed itinerary: Fly Brisbane to Honiara 5th July 2 nights Honiara-with day trip to Savo Fly Honiara to Marau Sound 7th July 5 nights Tavanipupu resort , wedding Fly Marau Sound to Honiara 10th July 1 night Honiara Fly Honiara to Seghe (via Suavanao)and boat to Paeva 11th July 3/4 nights Lagoon Haus, near Paeva Village, Gatakote Island 14/15th to 20th July ???? Honiara to Perth 21st July I was considering Munda for some diving, staying at Zipolo Habu resort and/ or Matakuri lodge in Morovo lagoon. However I wonder if they may be fairly similar to what we will already seen? Would love to try Malaita or somewhere outside the Solomons but this looks like would involve a trip back to Honiara so would be pushed for time in the last few days. I have been to Tetepare about 10 years ago so would probably like to see somewhere new, but this could be an option? Any suggestions? Thanks Juliet |

Another option might be to fly to Bellona and/or Rennell islands, two Polynesian outliers in Renbel Province. There's a guesthouse on Bellona Island, the Renbel office in Honiara will know how to get in touch with Barnabas, the owner, and there is also a small cave resort - http://www.visitsolomons.com.sb/accommodation/eco-lodges/aotaha-cave-lodge - where you sleep in caves. Very comfortable caves :-) Must try and squash yourself into the bat cave as well. And Lake Tegano on Rennell Island also has accommodation - http://www.travellerspoint.com/guide/Rennell/ | 1
