About the Island

Honaira

Honiara is the capital city of Solomon Islands, situated on the northwestern coast of Guadalcanal. As of 2017 it had a population of 84,520 people. The city is served by Honiara International Airport and the seaport of Point Cruz, and lies along the Kukum Highway.

Honiara was the site of a battle between the United States and the Japanese during World War II.

Now the capital and base of tourism to the beautiful Solomon Islands, this city offers something to satisfy the desires of history junkies, nature lovers, shoppers, and everyone in between.

Climate

The climate is tropical, more specifically a tropical rainforest climate, with an average daytime temperature of about 28 °C (82 °F). The water temperatures range between 26 °C (79 °F) and 29 °C (84 °F).

Honiara is noticeably wetter between November and April. The average amount of precipitation per year is about 2,000 millimeters (79 in) and thus somewhat lower than the average on the Solomon Islands as a whole (3,000 millimeters (120 in)).

However, while the islands have a wet season, it’s not monsoonal with extended periods of very heavy rainfall and poor weather usually blows through fairly quickly. Cyclones aren’t common but they can occur over this time.

Food

Honiara has a vast section of organic and tropical foods. The restaurant choice has expanded over the last 5-10 years and there’s quite a selection of cultures in food selection here.

Some recommended restaurants in Honiara would be:
• The Breakwater Café
• Lime Lounge
• The Bamboo Bar Café
• King Solomon Hotel
• Coral Sea Restaurant and Casino

When in town you will spend your days picking up crafts at the outdoor markets or exploring the Botanical Garden’s orchid collection, and your nights eating coconut crab and playing Pacific Poker, two local specialties.
