# Getting around in the Solomon Islands Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands
ellen_pickett 04:09 UTC 10 Sep 2015 | Hi all I'll be in the Solomons for a week next month. Just wondered on people's experiences on getting around the islands via boat vs flight (via www.flysolomons.com) - can anyone recommend what works better from experience? Cheers! |

Laszlo 23:19 UTC 13 Sep 2015 | Boats are usually extremely basic, and apart from the routes from Honiara to Malaita and Gizo, very scarce and irregular. So unless you have plenty of time and endurance, flying is the better option to most islands. | 2
