Malaita

Easily reached from Guadalcanal, Malaita is a hauntingly beautiful island with narrow coastal plains, secluded bays and a rugged highland interior. As well as having a host of natural features to explore, Malaita has an equally fascinating ethnic heritage. It’s a rare combination of being both an adventure island as well as a stronghold of ancient Melanesian traditions and cultures.
