How to get here
Flights with Solomon Airlines go Brisbane – Honiara / Munda direct, with connecting flights to Suavanao on Santa Isabel Island. Prices from $1200 Brisbane - Suavanao return. Sometimes there are specials even cheaper. Virgin Blue and Air Nuigini also fly Brisbane to Honiara. Flights are also available from NZ. When booking, advise Solomon Airlines if you have boards, as the planes to Suavanao are small. From Suavanao airport an open pick up boat will take you to the village. The boat ride takes just over an hour. Leave in the morning, connect with the island flight and be in the camp that afternoon. Weather delays? Suavanao is WWII (upgraded recently) grass airstrip and sometimes flights are cancelled due to rain. You may be delayed a day or two on your return home. Travel insurance should cover any extra costs. |
