Health and Vaccinations Monthly Newsletter Sign-up for monthly travel specials Save up to 50% Privacy Statement Solomon Islands Tours Overview In the Solomons, they talk about "The Islands of Pride," a reference not only to their country's natural beauty, but also to the people's contributions to the Allied cause in World War II. Some of the war's bloodiest battles took place in this idyllic setting of glimmering lagoons, orchid-laden jungles, thundering waterfalls, forested peaks and thatched-hut villages. The islanders, like the Allied and Japanese forces, suffered dearly during the war. Unfortunately, war has returned to the islands, only this time the islanders have turned their guns on each other. Civil war, ignited by ethnic rivalry, has created havoc in the country for the past three years, gradually destroying infrastructure and the economy. Gunfights between warlords are common, along with armed criminal activity. Even nature has proven dangerous: The seldom-visited islands of Tikopia and Anuta suffered heavy damage from a cyclone in late December 2002. Right now, with little law and order and the country on the verge of bankruptcy, the Solomons are a destination to avoid.

The six main islands are Guadalcanal, Malaita, New Georgia, Makira, Santa Isabel and Choiseul. The larger islands are volcanic, densely forested mountain ranges with steep, narrow river valleys and thin coastal plains with mangrove and coconut palms. Little of the land is suitable for crops. Coral reefs provide plentiful fishing resources. The outer islands are small, coral atolls. Climate Environment The Solomon Islands have over 4500 plant species, including about 230 varieties of orchids. People use many of the plants and trees for building, food, medicine and clothing. Roads link major settlements but few are sealed. Inadequate controls on forestry mean that soil erosion is a major problem. Many surrounding coral reefs are dead or dying.
