Luxury Solomon Islands Yacht Charter
Luxury yacht charter in the Solomon Islands
Step back in time and discover French Polynesia’s rich heritage with a superyacht charter in the Solomon Islands. One of the most remote charter destinations on the planet, you’ll never forget your island-hopping adventure in this tiny slice of South Pacific paradise.
For a dive with a difference, head to Gizo in the Western Province and explore the wreck of Toa Maru. Formerly a Japanese transport ship from WW2, Toa Maru is now an artificial reef slope with hundreds of species of marine life hiding in its coral gardens. Take a guided underwater tour inside the wreck and discover a fully-intact motorbike plus several small tanks.
The Solomon Islands offer a rich fusion of Polynesian and Micronesian cultures where traditional customs and ceremonies still play a vital role in daily life. Step back in time with a visit to the bush village of Kwaio on the island of Malaita. Set on top of a mountain, trek through the jungle to this tiny village and discover traditional Kwaioman stories, crafts and dances and tuck into a delicious motu feast.
Remote and unspoilt, the volcanic Marquesas Islands boast some of the most spectacular scenery in French Polynesia. Step ashore and explore the wild Marquesan landscapes of Nuku Hiva on horseback. Trek through towering banyan forests filled with ancient marae temples or search for hidden waterfalls in the island’s breathtakingly beautiful valleys. Canter along the pristine white sand of Hanatekuua Beach at sunset before cooling off with a dip in the turquoise water, this is the ultimate way to explore the island Polynesian-style.
