Honiara Walking Tour
Honiara, Solomon Islands
Why Walk Honiara
Honiara sits on the north coast of Guadalcanal, the island where one of the fiercest campaigns of the Pacific War was fought. The city grew from a WWII military base and still has relics scattered through the surrounding jungle and waters. The central market is a kaleidoscope of tropical produce, betel nut, and handicrafts from across the Solomon archipelago.
