The Solomon Islands is an exotic wonderland of dramatic landscapes, rich cultural traditions, and extraordinary biodiversity. For travellers seeking unique adventures and a destination less travelled, this remote corner of the Pacific offers the perfect escape. Located just a 15-minute boat ride from Gizo, Fatboys Resort, Bar & Restaurant sits on Mbabanga Island with breathtaking views across to Kennedy Island and the majestic Mt. Kolombangara volcano. The resort’s rustic island charm is complemented by tastefully appointed bungalows surrounded by lush greenery, all within a short stroll of the iconic jetty bar and restaurant, which extends out over the reef—an unforgettable setting to relax and dine above the water. Scuba diving is arranged with Dive Gizo, offering up to three boat dives daily at a variety of spectacular sites. Between dives, enjoy a relaxed surface interval and picnic lunch on one of Gizo’s remote islands. The surrounding waters are calm and protected, making them ideal for exploration. A highlight for many divers is the Tao Maru, a Japanese WWII transport ship resting between 7–37 metres, along with several fascinating WWII plane wrecks in the area. Another must-see is Grand Central Station, at the northwestern tip of the Gizo Islands, where strong currents attract an incredible concentration of marine life both big and small—truly a hive of underwater action. With its pristine reefs, historic wrecks, and abundant marine life, Gizo is without question a diver’s paradise and a photographer’s dream.
