Solomon Islands April 1-11, 2026

In the midst of the South Pacific, the Solomon Islands is part of the coral triangle and home to some of the best, least visited scuba diving in the world. There is an amazing diversity of marine life, dive sites and experiences, all a short flight from Australia or Fiji. Bilikiki Cruises has been running liveaboard scuba diving trips and cruises in the Solomon Islands for over 25 years. Our experienced crew know the best dive sites that the Solomon Islands has to offer, so come on a diving trip in the Solomons in comfort and style!

The Solomon Islands is an archipelago located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, consisting of six major islands and over 900 smaller islands and islets. The country is known for its stunning natural beauty, with lush rainforests, pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. The country has a rich cultural heritage, with many traditional practices and customs still observed today.

The Solomon Islands remains largely unspoiled by mass tourism, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a truly immersive and off-the-beaten-path travel experience. Additionally, the Solomon Islands has a rich underwater world that offers some of the best diving and snorkeling opportunities in the world. 

Overall, the Solomon Islands is a must-visit destination for those seeking adventure, culture and natural beauty.

The Solomon Islands offers world-class scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities, with some of the healthiest and most diverse coral reefs in the world. Divers can explore underwater wrecks from World War II, swim with sharks and discover rare and colorful marine life. There is something for everyone here when it comes to diving with the pristine reefs, steep walls, caverns, World War II wrecks and abundance of marine life.

On a 9 night or longer trip we also visit the Marovo Lagoon area of the Western Province. On the longer trips the Bilikiki will stop at other villages to see the famous wood carvings of the area. Here you will have to chance to see and buy hand made carvings and other amazing traditionally made items. 

Village visits are arranged during the surface intervals so as not to effect the number of dives offered per day.  

We offer 4 day dives and a night dive and although there is no fixed itinerary here is an example of some of the dive sites which we normally do if the conditions allow.

 
Russell Islands
 
Leru Cut 
 
A channel back into Leru Island forms a breathtakingly beautiful reef formation which when dived at the right time of day has amazing beams of light and fantastic photo opportunities. Surface at the end and see the vine covered cliffs and jungle before descending and exiting onto a sheer wall of fans and soft coral. 
 
White Beach
 
The site of an American WWII base where trucks, bombs and ammunition was dumped into the sea. Both a fascinating historical dive and a fantastic macro site in an unusual mangrove location.
 
Mirror Pond
 
A stunning pond reflecting the jungle overhead. Outside on the reef is a sheer wall where snappers and travelly hunt and pygmy seahorses hide in gorgeous gorgonian fans. The shallows host a stunning coral garden where crocodile fish, cuttlefish and anemone fish live.
 
Karumolun Point
 
The chief of Karumolun Island has banned all fishing and collecting on this dive site for five years creating a local marine protected area. This point has great soft coral, a big school of jacks, barracudas and lots of sharks, often eagle rays are seen here too. The macro side of this dive site is fantastic as well with disco clams (electric file shells), nudis, cuttlefish, crocodile fish and ghost pipefish among the things seen.
 
Mary Island
 
Divers often refer to Mary Island as the “best” dive of a trip. It is an uninhabited  island with a stunning amount of hard corals and fish life. The schools of fish are amazing here especially when joined by sharks, turtles and bumphead parrot fish. We usually stay here for the whole day. 
 
 
Florida Islands
 
Twin Tunnels
 
This large sea mount, in the middle of the channel between Guadalcanal and the Florida Islands, has two tunnels which drop vertically straight down from 12m and exit in a cave at 35m. Swimming out of the cave to the sheer wall there are schools of fusiliers with grey reef sharks cruising by. It is also home to some amazing coral, cuttlefish, octopus and mantis shrimp plus schools of snapper, tropical fish and an amazing array of anemone fish.
 
Devils' Highway
 
The best place in the Solomons to dive with manta rays. A channel between two islands funnels water to form a strong currents and an adrenaline filled dive. Drift along the reef top, duck under the reef wall and watch as up to a dozen mantas swim close by in formation to feed. They are often joined by sweetlips, jacks and bumphead parrotfish.
 
Maravagi Bay
 
A macro divers delight! A calm protected bay offering all sorts of great macro subjects such as nudis, demon stinger, scorpion fish, cockatoo wasp fish, various pipefish, cuttlefish, juvenile batfish, various anemone fish, shrimps and crabs. Plus a few of giant clams and a small wreck packed with batfish and bream. 
 
Japanese Mavis Seaplane
 
A Japanese seaplane sunk during WW2 which sits upright on the bottom at 30m, it is an impressively large, mostly intact plane. This site is also excellent for macro subjects with reef top pipefish, twin spot gobies and spine check anemone fish.
