Western Province

The most popular travel region in Solomon Islands, concentrating lagoon diving, World War II relics and volcanic island scenery.

Western Province lies in the northwest of Solomon Islands and is made up of many islands, including the New Georgia Islands; its capital is Gizo. It has the world-class Marovo Lagoon and Roviana Lagoon, as well as numerous World War II shipwrecks and aircraft wrecks, making it a diving and snorkeling paradise; Kolombangara is a cone-shaped volcanic island with hiking to explore. Near Gizo there are also small islands associated with Kennedy's World War II experience. The dry season (May–October) is the better time to visit, and you can fly from Honiara to Gizo or Munda.
