One week Solomons!

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands

Hi,
I am a professional travel photographer and will be one week in the Solomons. What would you recommend me to do in that week to get out the best photos from the Solomons!
Thanks

Probably flying to Gizo or Munda to see the Marovo Lagoon.
Or, if you want something more traditional ald less touristy, get the fast daily boat (360 Discovery) to Auki in Malaita via Gela (Florida Islands) then hire a truck in Auki to travel around.

What would you recommend for great photos?

Basically, it depends whether you want postcards or culture.

I guess i am more interested in Postcards or do you think both is manageable to do in seven days? Where would you recommend to go in Marovo? What apart from diving can you do there?

Thanks

MIchael

That is the one area of the Solomons I have little experience of, so can't really give you much guidance. Have you looked at the Visitors Bureau website?

Yep i even contacted them but no reply unfortunately. Have you been to Ghizo?

Only once, by a ship that no longer exists, at night, and I visited friends, not anwhere you could stay. It is usually spelt Gizo.
