Bougainville-Salomons by boat?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hey everybody,
I saw the post on flying from Buka to Honiara, but I would like to take a boat/boats to cross from Buka to Honiara. Has anyone experiences in that kind of movement around that area? AND: is anyone travelling this area at the moment and would like to meet up? I have travelled West Papua for a month by myself and am ready to have some company to avoid harressment...I am also grateful for any information on Hostels, Resorts, Diving and beautiful places on the way. I´ll enter Buka the 8th of november and fly out of Honiara the 27th. I hope that will be enough time to make it.
Thanks for your help!
