Getting around Solomon Islands
Solomon Airlines (www.flysolomons.com) runs domestic flights to around 20 airfields across the country. It's a good idea to book well in advance.
There are over 1,300km (800 miles) of roads throughout the islands. About 455km (280 miles) are main roads and a further 800km (500 miles) are privately maintained roads for plantation use. Road maintenance is limited and the general condition of the roads is very poor, as are driving standards. Most of the roads are on Guadalcanal and Malaita.
Honiara has a public minibus service. Elsewhere, you might grab a lift in the back of a truck or trailer.
Regular passenger boats run between Honiara and Auiki. A weekly service travels from Honiara to Gizo via Marovo. Otherwise, there are plenty of tour operators running cruises and sightseeing trips.
If arriving by private vessel, make sure you obtain permission from the local chief before landing in individual provinces.
