Bonegi I and II

Two popular dive sites off the coast of Honiara.

Reviewed By debbieconwell - Honiara, Solomon Islands

The Bonegis are lovely dives. We dived Bonegi 1 today and it has something for every diver - easy shore access, garden eels on the sand, masses of fish, a wreck full of mystery and history running from the surface - 2m - down past normal diving depths - 60m. The surrounding reef has other fish and invertebrates - beautiful little flasher wrasse ... a large Spanish mackerel swam calmly past. Always worth a dive, plus they are working on security and amenities. Very enjoyable!

Vilu War Museum

Reviewed By Marcia71 - Jerusalem, Israel

We had no idea what to expect from this war museum, especially after the long bus ride to reach it. The ride itself was fascinating because we saw how people live and work on this island. The visit was arranged by the cruise ship we were on and once the group entered the area, we thought we had come to a botannical garden.. The "museum" is outdoors and contains displays of the remains of planes, submarines, tanks and other artifacts of war. The pieces were collected by a gentleman who was extremely creative in his vision of how to present these World War 2 relics. Each item was either shot down or ambushed or in some way destroyed in battle. It is not hard to imagine what happened to the soldiers or sailors who were hit. The creative element in this museum is that exquisite shrubs, trees and flowers were planted next to, in front of, behind or interspered with the relics themselves, so the feeling one gets is that amidst the horror of war, there is still beauty. We spent more time than we thought we would because people in our group wanted to photograph the novel arrangement of war materiel in a virtual garden.

Honiara Central Market

Reviewed By TravelinAlan - Los Angeles, United States

This is where the locals come to shop. Fruits, vegetables, meat, fish. It's all there. I enjoyed the experience. A completely non-tourist destination.
