Destinations Solomons Travel and Tours Ltd

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Just a warning to anyone thinking of using this company, which advertises itself as the 'Premier Inbound Tour Specialist' for the islands - DON'T!

The owner Mr Wilson Maelaua, knowingly defrauded my tour group out of SI$27000 and also owes more for services not receieved! We have filed a claim with the local police, but have little hope in recouping the money.

Have now been warned not to pay anything upfront in the Solomons - pay as you go!!

Majority of locals - fabulous and welcoming, just sad that a great holiday was blighted in this way!
