Top 10 Things to do in Honiara, Guadalcanal Island

December 23, 2021 Leida Jutras

Located on the island of Guadalcanal, Honiara was built on land that saw some of the bloodiest battles of WWII. Now the capital and base of tourism to the beautiful Solomon Islands, this city offers something to satisfy the desires of history junkies, nature lovers, shoppers, and everyone in between. Spend your days picking up crafts at the outdoor markets or exploring the Botanical Garden's orchid collection, and your nights eating coconut crab and playing Pacific Poker, two local specialties.

Guadalcanal American Memorial

The US War Memorial is located at Skyline Ridge. Tales of the historical happenings on the Battle of Guadalcanal during WWII are written on the stone wall monuments. A great way to learn about the involvement of the US forces during WWII. Organized tours can be arranged with local tour operators or one can easily get there by taxi or mini vans.

Reviewed By grandad88 - Clitheroe, United Kingdom

Although quite hard to get to it is well worth the effort. From the memorial you get wonderful views over Iron Bottom Sound across to Tulagi and also the other way into the hills behind Honiara. The memorial itself has a lot of interesting information about the battles on Guadacanal and throughout the Solomons and explains a lot of the history of the campaign in Solomon Islands. While it is big and impressive it is not over militaristic being a memorial to people rather than a celebration of war.
