Bikiki | Spirit of Solomons

The diving in the Solomon Islands is superb. The liveaboards visit the Florida and Russell Island groups with longer trips ranging farther afield into the Western Province. In the Solomon Island you will see majestic coral and fan encrusted walls, World War II wrecks, passages laden with barracuda, horse-eyed jacks and other pelagics, pinnacles, caves, lagoons, bommies, and everywhere school after school of fish displaying every imaginable colour and size. Combine all this with the opportunity to dive remote and otherwise inaccessible areas, areas far beyond the range of day boats or shore based dive operations... and this is why diving the Solomons by live-aboard is such a wonderful and unique experience...

The MV Bilikiki and the MV Spirit of the Solomons

The MV BILIKIKI and her sister ship the MV Spirit of the Solomons, have gained reputations as being among the best of the world's live-aboards. These two ships offer unparalleled space and comfort, immense sun decks, plenty of covered deck space and air-conditioned accommodations. And they each offer the best diving the Solomons have to offer.

The Bilikiki and the Spirit of the Solomons represent the best the Solomons have to offer with regards to diving, hospitality, and convenience.

The cuisine on both boats is superb, being a blend of European, Island, and American cooking. Fresh fruits and vegetables are purchased daily from friendly villagers.

Diving in the Solomons is spectacular. Brilliant soft corals and hard corals, huge sea fans and a world of pelagics as well as many unidentified species of reef fish, making diving in the Solomons an adventure you won't forget. Add to this the thrill of WWII wreck diving and you have the perfect diving vacation.

The diving is done in the mothership fashion, with each vessel having two 21 foot aluminum dive tenders which drop the divers exactly on the dive site and pick them up wherever they may surface. There is no need for long swims or fighting currents.

With a crew of eleven plus two managers on each boat, the only time you will need to touch your diving equipment will be when it is on your back, while you enjoy the diving. The crew will load and unload all tanks and will even rinse your gear for you.

In addition to the well documented and world-renowned diving the Solomon Islands offer a hidden wealth of cultural and natural wonders.

During trips to villages you will be welcomed by the shy but friendly smiles of the Solomon Island people. Special visits to enjoy traditional dancing, taboo sites from the headhunting days, cave walks, and the sites of old WWII artifacts, can all be arranged.

Both boats offer similar itineraries, great service, and unbelievable iternaries. The main difference between these two sister ships is that the Bilikiki offers 10 staterooms all with private showers and toilets, while the Spirit of the Solomons has 3 deluxe staterooms with private shower and toilet, 4 deluxe cabins with private shower and toilet, and 6 twin cabins sharing 2 toilets and three showers.
