Solomon Is. History

The Solomon Islands are famous for the geographical significance they had in World War II as well as the battles that took place there, specifically the Battle at Guadalcanal. Fought between 7 August 1942 and 9 February 1943, this was the allies’ first offensive move against Japan which many believe was the ‘beginning of the end’ of WWII.

For history buffs, the destination offers a very unique holiday experience; there are museums & memorials dedicated to WWII with expert guides who can expand your knowledge. There are also a vast number of remnants which sit almost untouched since the 1940’s, some still hidden in thick jungle or underground, having never been recovered.  Not all the relics are on land of course, a few are close enough to shore that they can be seen with just a snorkel & mask, and the rest are only able to be explored up-close by experienced divers.
