Expedition to Oceania (6 island states)

Arrival, transfer to the hotel and rest.

We begin to explore the country and the island of Honiara. We are waiting for the exploration of the island and first of all its history, starting from ancient times and ending with the present. A large part of the history of the island is occupied by the Second World War, which left much to be desired in all Solomon Islands. We will visit museums, galleries, and see government buildings. After lunch, we will go to a traditional village, where we will get to know the life of the locals and their culture.

Today we are going on a full-day trip to the island of Tulagi - the pre-war capital of the British Protectorate of the Solomon Islands. By speed boat, about 1.5 hours one way and we will arrive in Tulagi where we will visit 4 places - Tanambogo, Gavutu and two ships from the time of the 2nd World War. Snorkeling, history of the archipelago, lunch and the ocean are all our day today.

Exploring the island of Tanna. Today we will go to the village of Lokalangia, which is about a 45-minute drive into the jungle, where we will be able to experience the way of life of the locals, which has not changed for centuries. The villagers have resisted the influence of Western culture and continue to follow a natural way of life guided by their belief in "Kastom".

Next, we visit a coffee bean cleaning factory (Tanna organic coffee), Lenakel market and craft market, drive along the beaches, past the Catholic mission and climb a hill to see a giant banyan tree - the largest ever recorded.
