Located between 7 degrees and 12 degrees south of
the equator, the Solomon Islands lie 1250 miles (2,000 km) northeast
across the Coral Sea from Queensland, Australia. The islands are
generally reached by air from Cairns or Brisbane in Australia. Auckland,
New Zealand, or Nadi, Fiji. Most flights from North America route
through Fiji, either via Los Angeles or Honolulu.
The Solomon Islands are a widespread archipelago of mountainous
islands and low-lying coral atolls stretching approximately 900
miles southeast from the North Solomons (Papua New Guinea) into
the southwest Pacific and Coral Sea.
The Solomon Islands consist of over 900 volcanic islands
and coral atolls spread across the blue tropical waters. The major
islands, where most of the 302,000 Solomon Islanders live, are generally
mountainous with lush, tropical forests.
The largest and most heavily populated island is Guadalcanal
with 88,000 people. It is also the location of Honiara, the Capital
city. Other major islands are Choiseul, Santa Ysabel, Malaita, Makira,
and New Georgia.
We often conduct group dive tours to Solomon Islands,
since we love to go there ourselves. Check for our current
Solomon Islands group dive trips on our Dive Discovery home
page!
