    Gizo also has much to offer above the water... 
     

  • 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. 
  • Sail boat hire to enjoy a holiday at your own pace. 
  • Walking tours are a must with local story many Wilson Hivu, who will take you through his village and into the bush, discovering traditional foods, garden methods and medicines. With breathtaking views from Gizo's hilltops you will conclude your walk at an historical site from days gone by, where elders of the village made custom money from fossilised clam shells.  
    Beach near Gizo
  • 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 For and partially submerged wrecks, or just browse through our books and information folders accumulated from personal research in the US Naval Archives. 
  • Kolombangara: A large dormant volcano peak awaits the fit and adventurous trekker. Venture into a natural rainforest towards the breathtaking rim.
