  • Solomon Islands ↗Many nationalities receive a visitor permit on arrival with an onward ticket, but rules vary: check Solomon Islands Immigration for your passport before booking.
  • Solomon Islands ↗Most land and reefs are under customary ownership: pay custom fees for visits, snorkelling or diving where asked, and ask before using a beach or taking photos.
  • Guadalcanal (Honiara) ↗In the wet season (Nov–Apr) rivers rise and roads flood: keep the day flexible.
  • Honiara ↗Broken pavements and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Honiara ↗After dark, take a car door to door; do not walk between clusters.
  • Honiara ↗Honiara has seen civil unrest in the past: avoid crowds and demonstrations and check your own government's travel advice before you book.
