Day 2. September 27, 2026 (Sunday). HONIARA – GUADALCANAL – HOATAMAI VILLAGE – COCOA PLANTATION – HONIARA

We will start this eventful day by exploring the echoes of World War II. This was the site of one of the grandest naval battles of that war – in the Guadalcanal area. That is where we are headed. During our visit, we will see Point Cruz Wharf, Edson's Bloody Ridge, the WWII Exhibition, the Japanese Peace Park on Mount Austin, and the U.S. Memorial on Skyline Ridge.
In August 1942, the first Allied units, mostly American, landed on the islands of Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and Florida to prevent the Japanese from using them as bases to threaten supply lines between the US, Australia, and New Zealand.
The Allies also intended to use Guadalcanal and Tulagi as a foothold for launching a campaign to isolate the major Japanese base at Rabaul (New Britain). The initial landing caught the Japanese, who had occupied the islands since May 1942, by surprise. The Allies quickly managed to capture the islands of Tulagi and Florida, as well as the airfield the Japanese were building on Guadalcanal (later named Henderson Field).
Subsequently, from August to November 1942, the Japanese made several attempts to retake Henderson Field, which was defended by the U.S. Marines. U.S. Army units joined the airfield's defenders in October. These attempts led to a series of major battles, including three land battles and five naval battles, culminating in early November when a decisive naval engagement ended Japanese efforts to land enough troops on the island to capture the airfield. In December 1942, the Japanese abandoned their attempts to retake the island and began evacuating their landed forces, a process completed by February 7, 1943.
The Battle of Guadalcanal is often considered a turning point in the Pacific theater, as it marked Japan's final loss of the strategic initiative and the Allies' transition from defense to offense.
Next, we will travel to the traditional village of Hoatamai to meet the indigenous inhabitants of the islands. We will be greeted by locals in traditional attire, who will demonstrate the skills a true warrior must possess. We will learn about the art of weaving straw skirts and, of course, sample traditional dishes.
We will conclude our day at a cocoa plantation. We will witness the entire process of cocoa bean processing, all the way to how they are turned into chocolate or a fragrant drink. Afterwards, we will enjoy a small cultural performance and a dinner where we will taste the products made from cocoa here.

Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner
Accommodation included: Heritage Park Hotel 4*


Day 3. September 28, 2026 (Monday). HONIARA – TULAGI ISLAND, RODERICK BAY – HONIARA

Today we will head to the Central Province of the Solomon Islands, where pristine nature harmoniously blends with a rich historical past. Tulagi, once the capital of the British Protectorate, found itself at the epicenter of fierce fighting in 1942 and was largely destroyed during the Japanese occupation. Today, it is a tranquil corner where you can see traces of World War II, explore sunken ships, and feel the atmosphere of a bygone era while enjoying crystal-clear lagoons and tropical landscapes.
Pristine white beaches and colorful coral reefs fringe the crystal-clear waters of Roderick Bay Lagoon. In the shallows lies an unusual landmark—the sunken expedition cruise ship MS World Discoverer, which ran aground in 2001. Its tilted hull has become a captivating underwater reef, where vibrant tropical fish now inhabit the metal structures—a perfect spot for snorkeling and underwater photography.
* For certified divers, a diving excursion to sunken WWII-era ships and aircraft can be arranged on this day at an additional cost.
Diving is possible near the Japanese ships *Hirokawa Maru* or *Kinugawa Maru*, which sank not far from Mbonge Beach. Diving is also possible at more remote sites, such as the wreck of a B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft.
All these sunken ships and aircraft date back to WWII and serve as excellent artificial reefs, covered in corals and teeming with marine life.
The cost of diving will depend on the number of participants and the chosen dive sites.
