When to go
The best time to visit the Solomon Islands is from
June to October, since it is the least muggy and rainy, bearing in mind, however, that showers are frequent even in this period, and they may even be abundant on the south-facing slopes, especially on the mountainous islands.
In
July, the rains often increase compared with the other months of this period, except on the northern slopes of mountainous islands such as Guadalcanal.
In the period from June to October, the
north side of Guadalcanal, where Honiara is located, is by far the most sheltered area of the whole archipelago.
What to pack
All year round, bring
tropics-friendly, loose-fitting clothing, a sun hat, a scarf for the breeze, a light sweatshirt for the evening, and a light raincoat or umbrella. When going to Mount Veve and Popomanaseu, bring spring/autumn clothes, a sweatshirt, a jacket, a raincoat, and hiking shoes.
When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
