Firstly, when traveling to the South Pacific islands in Oceania, you have to be careful in planning it because the flights are usually once a week so if you miss it you will be stuck there for another week. If you are thinking about going, here is 3 days in Honiara itinerary to help you plan. With that said, I was super anxious about visiting the Solomon Islands because of the remoteness and lack of internet with that.
But it all went down smoothly in the end. So if you are a little worried, I hope this 3 days in Honiara itinerary with the hidden gems, and must-see attractions, plus my solo travel tips to Honiara, give you some reassurance that if I can do it, so can you!
Nestled on the northern coast of Guadalcanal Island, Honiara stands as the vibrant capital city of the Solomon Islands. Known for its rich cultural heritage, pristine natural beauty, and intriguing history, Honiara offers a captivating blend of experiences for travelers seeking an authentic South Pacific adventure. I spent the 1st day in the town and planned outside-of-town activities for the two next days. Both hotels have restaurants and bring you your own internet as above. On the opposite side of the cafe is the National Museum, where you can discover the rich cultural heritage and fascinating history of the Solomon Islands.
Uncover the tales of ancient traditions and marvel at the remarkable artifacts on display. The local ladies do a great job of demonstrating how they make different types of necklaces out of seashells and dance and you can buy the necklaces and other souvenirs there or at the gift shop.
I learned a lot about the historical significance of the Solomon Islands, including Guadalcanal, which played a crucial role during World War II. Next door to the cafe is the National Art Gallery. Honiara serves as a melting pot of diverse cultures, with over 60 different indigenous ethnic groups calling the Solomon Islands home.
