SOLOMON ISLANDS a Hidden Paradise

These islands were named by a Spanish explorer, Alvaro de Mendaña de Neira, who, on finding alluvial gold on Guadalcanal in 1568, believed he had found the biblical King Solomon’s source of gold. Pure ‘gold’ is just what the Solomon Islands are. Here you will find something more precious than gold. The beauty of untouched tropical forests, the majesty of the mountains as they flow down to pristine beaches into the aqua blue of the ocean surrounding these islands. Here the natural underwater wonder is uniquely Solomon Islands.
