The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Swim ashore to the tiny island where JFK survived his WWII PT-109 sinking, then snorkel technicolour reef untouched by mass tourism. One of the Pacific's most charged historical encounters.
Descend to the hauntingly intact Japanese WWII freighter Toa Maru — trucks, motorbikes, sake bottles and all — resting at 45 m near Gizo. One of the Indo-Pacific's top-rated wreck dives.
Spend a half-day at an exclusive eco-resort on Lola Island, snorkelling pristine reef, kayaking mangrove channels, and joining a guided kastom (traditional) village walk. Authentically remote luxury.
Visit the sacred Skull Island — an islet adorned with ancestral skulls of past chiefs — with a village elder as your guide for an intimate ceremonial experience found nowhere else on earth.
Escape to a virtually undiscovered white-sand beach fringed by swaying palms and lapped by warm turquoise water — Gizo's most beautiful shore, with a private boat entirely to yourself.
Lift off above Gizo's island-studded lagoon in a private helicopter — jade atolls, shipwrecks visible through glass-clear water, and WWII battle sites spread below you. The most spectacular perspective in the Solomon Islands.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
