Surf trip

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

Hey guys,

We are trying to plan a surfing trip to the Solomon Islands in Nov and we were thinking of staying at either the Maravagi Island resort or the Papatura Island Retreat. Any suggestions on which one will be more practical for a bunch of lads who just want to surf good waves and also have time to chill out and go snorkeling???

Thanks

Maravagi is great for snorkelling, but the food is expensive, and I am not sure where the surf is. I haven't heard of Papatura.
What is your time frame, and what level of accommodation are you looking for?
Check out Surf Solomons.
If you are interested, and not able to meet their time frame, I might be able to help find a similar place in North Malaita, where there is good surf and the locals will enjoy having you.
