Introducing Bellona
Small yet densely populated Bellona has a lush interior and is encircled by forest-covered cliffs rising 30m to 70m. The cliffs are mostly easy to climb unlike Rennell’s cliffs.

Bellona is pockmarked with caves; many of them the scene of island fables.
You can stay at Suani Resthouse (Tangakitonga; s incl 3 meals S$170). On Bellona’s east coast, Aotaha Cave Resort (s incl 3 meals S$210) comes recommended for its enchanting setting. It’s set around caves at the cliffbase, and some of the beds are in the cave itself! Both places can arrange bicycle hire and hiking and snorkelling trips.
