The Solomon Islands are a remote Pacific archipelago with a history of ethnic tension that led to civil conflict (1998-2003). While largely peaceful now, underlying tensions between Guadalcanal and Malaitan communities persist, and riots occurred in Honiara in 2021. Petty crime and opportunistic theft can occur. World War II heritage (Guadalcanal battlefield) and diving are the main attractions. Infrastructure is very limited outside Honiara. Malaria is prevalent. Cyclone season (November-April) poses significant risks. Medical facilities are extremely limited. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution and travel with reputable local operators.
