Visit this island where JFK came ashore after being sunk in PT109 in ww2. Great snorkelling nearby and "tame" parrots. A must visit if you are close by

8. Guadalcanal American Memorial
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 44 reviews
The US War Memorial is located at Skyline Ridge. Tales of the historical happenings on the Battle of Guadalcanal during WWII are written on the stone wall monuments. A great way to learn about the involvement of the US forces during WWII. Organized tours can be arranged with local tour operators or one can easily get there by taxi or mini vans.

Although quite hard to get to it is well worth the effort. From the memorial you get wonderful views over Iron Bottom Sound across to Tulagi and also the other way into the hills behind Honiara. The memorial itself has a lot of interesting information about the battles on Guadacanal and throughout the Solomons and explains a lot of the history of the campaign in Solomon Islands. While it is big and impressive it is not over militaristic being a memorial to people rather than a celebration of war.

If you want to see how paradise looks then visit Saeraghi village its far from Gizo capital I heard few tourist and locals have walk from the village to the capital. I dont have clue of how much the cost of public transport, tuck & taxi but I manage to secure a car from a friend for $300 I took my family over and they too have enjoyed the view and beaches. the roads are not tar and can be bumpy. When ever you visit Gizo and thinking of touring the islands why not try out Saeraghi village. Apart from that there are few great spot for surfing, and kids form surrouning communities Titiana and Bailonge often held competition, they can also show you round.

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!
