On Guadalcanal there are a range of natural attractions, in addition to points of interest in the capital, Honiara.
Many visitors report that their first impression of Honiara is of a dusty, uneventful town.
With diving tours, cruises and WWII sightseeing outings all departing from the capital, there is a sense of bustle that may only become apparent after time spent in the villages. Point Cruz is the local travel hub of Honiara. For the best combination of scenic beauty and rich traditional life, the Western Province is unbeatable. Visit the proposed World Heratage site at Marovo Lagoon which is now an eco-tourist village. Supporting this endeavour might encourage less logging in the future by providing locals with a viable source of income.
