megapode field
Make sure you see the megapode field which extends for around 400m along the beach, to the northwest of Savo. During the night, hundreds of female birds come to the field and dig down to about 90cm, where the temperature is ideal to incubate their eggs. Come very early as the birds
Reoka hot springs
The island has a number of hot springs and thermal areas containing boiling mud pools. The most easily accessible are Reoka hot springs, which can be reached after a one-hour walk following the course of the Kolika River upstream - a very scenic walk in a tropical setting. The fina
Kolombangara
A perfect cone-shaped volcano that rises to 1770m, Kolombangara looms majestically on the horizon, due east of Ghizo island. Its a two-day hike to the top and back. It rises from a 1km-wide coastal plain through flat-topped ridges and increasingly steep escarpments to the rugged cr
Holy Cross Catholic Cathedral
On Sunday, masses of well-dressed Honiarans attend morning church services. Most churches have several services on this day, usually lasting an hour and conducted in English, so you have no excuse not to repent your sins. Visitors are welcome to attend, but make sure you dress mode
Museums
History buffs should consider the two small private ‘museums’ of WWII relics. The one closest to Agnes Lodge is run by Gordon Beti (no sign; ask for exact location); the second, and most interesting, is further east along the road, near the soccer field, a 20-minute walk from Agne
Auki
Curled around a wonderfully shaped bay and surrounded by jungle-clad hills, laid-back Auki is a delight to approach by sea. Otherwise Auki is a nondescript little port town, with a few low-slung buildings that arent going to capture many hearts on their own. Luckily the sea lapping
Artificial Islands
One of Malaitas features is the large number of artificial islands, particularly in Langa Langa and Lau Lagoons. Some of these islands date from the 1550s and new ones are built each year. Stones and dead corals from the lagoons are piled on a sand bar or reef, then sand is spread
Bird island
Guesthouses at Lake TeNggano can organise excursions on the lake. Regular stops include Octopus Cave, a spooky cave on the north shore, and a visit to Bird island , where hundreds of cormorants, boobies and frigates nest year-round. Its a fascinating sight. Your guide might well cl
Lake TeNggano
At 130 sq km, Lake TeNggano, in the southeast of Rennell, is the South Pacifics largest expanse of fresh water. The lake is the old lagoon floor and the tall cliffs that surround it are the old reef. Its western end has 200-odd coral islets and swamps. Four villages lie along the s
