Adventure Expeditions - Marovo Lagoon


Marovo Lagoon is the world’s longest island-fringed salt water lagoon.


Come on a voyage of discovery and adventure in the ”land that time forgot“.


Camping on secluded uninhabited islands, which are surrounded by spectacular coral formations and white sand beach, the waters shimmering in every shade of blue, turquoise.…White sandy beaches surrounded by swaying coconut palms. Swimming and snorkeling among exquisite coral reefs.


Forget waiting for hours in busy supermarket lines, you catch it, we will cook it!


Cultural visits to the villages where you can meet the real people of the Solomon Islands. Smiling, friendly, happy people who welcome you to their villages… Learn of bygone days of head-hunters, of cultural histories thousands of years old…


The Western Province was once an area feared for head hunting in the 19th Century. The use of human heads or skulls was central in the burial customs and death beliefs of many of the Marovo Lagoon Islands’ people.


Frequent raiding took place between islands in search of heads that were used in many rituals including burials and the launching of new war canoes (Tomoko). Raids extended not only within the lagoon but as far as Guadalcanal and other islands.


Today, we can paddle our Kayaks into the heart of the head hunters’ country and experience the sacred sites. It is still possible to see the trophies from the head hunting days.


You will feel secure and safe during you time in the Lagoon and local guides will

tell you all about the old days and old ways.


Your personal Cannibal Coast host meets you at the Honiara Airport to ensure a smooth journey from international to domestic.
