Having escaped the ravages of mass tourism the Solomon Islands remains one of the world’s last true eco-tourism frontiers making these ‘Hapi isles’ a rare and authentic alternative for travellers seeking unspoiled nature, traditional culture, and meaningful experiences.

One of the best-known names on the Solomon Islands tourism scene for many years, the improbably-named Fatboys Resort on Mbabanga Island near Gizo has now joined the ranks of the highly qualified dive outfits operating in the destination.

What makes the Solomon Islands such a mecca for lovers of the underwater world?

The answer is simple – 992 islands and unspoilt coral reefs literally teem with huge numbers and varieties of marine life and hundreds of WWII shipwrecks and downed aircraft that litter the seabed.
