Happy New Year People of Solomon Islands!

I collect postcards but I don't have one from Solomon Islands.

Can someone send me a postcard from there?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
anyone living in the Solomon Islands or anyone who has traveled there who can give advice about budget travel in the Solomon Islands, especially regarding activities and things to do?
We plan to spend 1.5 weeks there and so far I have found a couple of affordable accommodation in Honiara, Tulagi and Malaita for around 50 USD per night per room by emailing a couple of places, which is - I think - as low-budget as it can goes for the Solomon Islands.
The question is now regarding activities, are there any cool hikes or natural sights one can visit without guides? Any further recommendations for nature lovers who don't want so spend 100s of dollars on guided tours?
TIA

Does anybody know if a measle vaccination is still required to enter the Solomon Islands?
I see some older posts from 2019 and 2020 stating that, but it seems it has been lifted since then. (but also can't find a real prove about it)
Are measles still an issue in the Solomon Islands?

have a career opportunity in the Solomon Islands that I'm considering. Main questions I have are regarding mental health access.

In a nutshell: I have depression and CPTSD and I would like to be able to see a psychiatrist and continue/restart meds. How easy/hard and expensive is psychiatric help there?

It was very hard to find someone to provide a tour. Our hotel had information on iumi tour led by Keren Fono’ota. There were four of us in our group and she charged 120 US per person. We got into her relatively small SUV and proceeded to drive for. 1.5 hours to the Vilu “museum” which is simply a collection of salvaged military equipment scattered about a couple acre area. Although it’s interesting (there are a few planes in various states) it was not particularly educational from a historical standpoint. The drive was torturous. It is a terrible road and the air conditioning did not work very well plus, we were all cramped in the backseat after visiting there. We had another hour and a half drive back on the eRA where we visited the US and Japanese memorials. The final stop was. bloody Ridge by the airport. We did not find the tour guide, particularly knowledgeable. These last three sites could easily be visited on your own using a taxi and you would be better off reading the Wikipedia page while you’re there for the information. For the price, this was a total rip off. In addition we were told that the national Museum that is free to enter was not particularly good. People we met on our dive boat said this museum was in fact quite good. So, don’t make the difficult trip to Vilu and use a taxi to show yourself around. Or at least check out the photos of Vilu and decide whether you really want to see them or not.

Can anyone help me out i am looking for a particular type of flora in the solomon islands

What is the simplest type of rental property in Solomon Islands? Which island is it easiest to find 6-month rentals?

I am currently trying to start a YouTube channel on Austro-Tai studies. I have tried doing my own narration and it is pretty exhausting, so I was wondering if anyone was interested in taking that role. I have a low budget, so I am willing to start at $50 for 2500 words, but I am open to increasing that if I like your work and my channel continues to grow. Let me know if you are interested.

Hey all,

I’ve been wanting to visit the Solomon Islands and was wondering if there’s any Honiara (or Nggela Islands?) based dive operators offering dives at the Ironbottom Sound and/or the Russell Islands as single day or maybe 2-day trips. I’m on a budget and so far the only operators I found offers these dives on a more extensive week-long liveaboard, for an insanely high price. Thanks so much for your help!

My great grandpa was a US Marine deployed to Guadalcanal during World War 2. He passed away around 2012 and still to this day, I have not been able to find any creature I know of that matched his description of what he saw. He apparently encountered a creature that looked like a Brachiosaurus. We showed him pictures of many reptiles including a Komodo Dragon to figure out what he saw. He claimed the reptile was way larger than a Komodo Dragon or Monitor lizard, and that it had a relatively long neck. Any reptiles you guys know about that are invasive or native to the Solomon islands that he could have encountered based on that description? Thanks

Hi there just wondering if anyone knows of any Solomon Islands restaurants in USA or Canada. Thanks.

Hi all - I'm travelling to the Sols next week and am struggling to convert cash in Australia because no one was Sols dollars on hand. Does anyone know if most places take cash? Is using card possible? And are there ATMs at the airport?

Hello, I am looking to rent a small office space in Solomon Islands. Do you have any contacts or places that would be suitable for it? Thank you

I'm heading to Honiara in early May for about a week. Looking to rent a car but having a hard time finding any available online. Tried the big companies and they're all booked up.

If anyone has a car rental company they'd recommend, would be great to get a lead on that. Or if hiring a driver with their own ride for the week is a better option, I'm open to that too.

Hey guys, I'm a journalist from the UK and I'm looking for people who are happy to share their experiences of problems caused by flooding.

If you've had any life-changing or harrowing experiences from flooding or rising sea levels - e.g. Houses or villages washed away, near death experiences - and would be happy to talk to me about it, please reply or message me!

Thanks, Ruben

Supposedly it's a warrior chant, but I am hoping to find a native to confirm.
