This 18-day expedition explores one of the South Pacific’s most captivating island nations as part of an extraordinary four-month sailing journey from Fiji to Indonesia. Guests can join this leg on its own or combine it with neighbouring passages through Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia to create an even greater adventure.

Beginning in Honiara on Guadalcanal, you’ll cruise through the breathtaking Solomon Islands, visiting remote islands including Pavuvu, Vangunu, New Georgia and Choiseul before finishing in Taro, with onward travel via nearby Buka. Expect crystal-clear lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, lush rainforest and welcoming Melanesian communities, all within a region that remains wonderfully untouched by mass tourism.

Rather than a traditional sailing holiday, this is an immersive expedition where you’ll become part of everyday life on board. Guest crew actively participate in sailing, watchkeeping, meal preparation and the shared routines of long-distance cruising, with each day shaped by the weather, the sea and the discoveries that await ashore.

Your home throughout the voyage is a comfortable 52ft ocean-going sailing yacht with four double cabins and four bathrooms. Led by experienced skipper Francesco and his partner Anna, life on board is collaborative and relaxed, creating an authentic expedition atmosphere rather than a charter experience.

If this voyage leaves you wanting more, you can continue west into Papua New Guinea on the next leg of the expedition, or begin your adventure earlier by joining the previous voyage through Vanuatu.

Cruise through the heart of the Solomon Islands, where volcanic peaks, jungle-clad islands and world-class coral reefs create one of the South Pacific's most rewarding sailing destinations. From historic Guadalcanal to the idyllic islands of New Georgia and Choiseul, this expedition combines rewarding cruising with opportunities to snorkel, explore remote villages and experience one of the Pacific's richest maritime cultures.
