Ghizo
Island: Go by boat or walk to Saeraghi
village along a scenic coast line to Gizo's most
famous beach.
Stop at Gilbertese and Melanesian villages along
the way, where traditional life still continues.

Kennedy
Island:
A beautiful small island where US President JF
Kennedy and crew of the PT109
were shipwrecked
during WWII. Great for snorkelling and beachcombing.

Skull
Island:
A great day trip to step back in time to the days
of head hunting, where you will visit
a shrine composed of the skulls of chiefs and warriors.
Travelling through the picturesque Vona Vona Lagoon
and jungle river tour, the day is completed with
lunch alongside the lagoon at Zipolo Habu Resort
on Lola Island.

Simbo
Island:
Bush walk, climb the volcanic crater, and watch
the locals cook
megadpode eggs in thermal
ponds. A breath taking boat trip to Nusa Simbo
viewing cascading vines and ferns down dramatic
volcanic
cliffs. This trip is dependent on favourable
conditions.

WWII
Tours: For
those interested in war history, you can visit
an American Tank,
Japanese Gun
Fort and partially submerged wrecks, or
just browse through our books and information
folders
accumulated
from
personal research in the US Naval Archives.
