	Local Travel Tips

Munda, a 1-hour flight from Honiara, is situated on the southwest corner of the main island of New Georgia. Munda is ideally located for those travellers who want to get off the beaten track in search of adventure, whilst enjoying good food and pleasant surroundings.

Munda is the ideal place for any traveller and diver to experience the culture, diversity, geography and relaxation of a typical south sea paradise.

Munda and surrounding areas, has also become known for having some of the finest diving in the world today, with several renowned war wrecks and spectacular wall diving.

List of Wrecks & Dive Sites in Munda

Munda was an important military airfield during WW2 and there are war relics everywhere: In the bushes, on the beaches and in the water. Great wreck diving is available. In the lagoon at Munda, Roviana Island has a colourful history of headhunting, animist religion and tribal wars. On the hill behind the village lie the ruins of an ancient coral fortress protecting the stone dog-idol previously worshipped by the tribe.

From Roviana Island a variety of excursions by motor canoe can be undertaken into the Roviana and Vona Vona Lagoons for snorkelling, fishing and sightseeing: war relics, waterfalls, bat caves, and cultural sites such as the skull islands where the 'trophies' of yesterday's head hunters were stored.
