Natural and cultural delight as its main attractions, Malaita is made up of one main island to Guadalcanal’s east as well as atolls to the extreme north namely Ontong Java and Sikiana whose inhabitants are Polynesian.

Man-made islands, in and near Auki, the provincial capital, are a must see. Malaita is also the home of the traditional but still in circulation shell money.

Ancestral worship ceremonies and other rituals as shark calling are still being practised in certain religions. Some villages especially those up in the mountains are difficult to access. The province is also renowned for the haunting sound of its unique pan-pipe bands, especially those on   ‘Are Are’ Lagoon.
