Day 1: Once onboard, there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction, complete and check dive paperwork, cabin allocation, and boat orientation. Our boats moor in the port on arrival day, departing early the next morning. The first dive is a check dive near the port.

Days 2-11: Visiting places such as the Russell Islands, the Florida Islands, Mary Island, and Marovo Lagoon, you will be immersed in so many sensory experiences, from breathtakingly beautiful corals to fascinating war relics, cave dives, and jungle-covered dives with marine life ranging from the massive to the macro.

You can dive Kicha—where friendly batfish follow divers around while giant bumphead parrotfish chomp on coral—all the time hearing the sounds of underwater volcano Kavachi.

There is Karumolun Point, where the local chief has banned all fishing for years, creating a protected marine area that will blow your mind with the variety of life and its beauty all around.

And, of course, there’s Mary Island. This is the place often referred to as the ‘best dive of a trip’ where we often stay all day to enjoy the schools of fish, sharks, turtles, and bumphead parrot fish.

Day 12: On the last diving day, 2-3 dives are available in the morning whilst observing the rule of no diving within 24 hours of reaching altitude. The final evening is a drinks and gala dinner night with bills settled the following morning from 6:30am with departure at 8am.

Day 13: Depart for the airport or hotel.

Day 1: Once onboard, there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction and cabin allocation, and boat orientation. Our boats moor in the port on arrival day, departing early the next morning.

Days 2-10:
Your 10-night trip takes in some of the Solomon Islands’ finest snorkeling sites, combining incredible marine life encounters with unique cultural experiences. You’ll explore the Russell Islands, Mary Island, and the Florida Islands, with multiple opportunities to get in the water and discover the wonders beneath the surface.

For example, at Karumolun Point all fishing has been banned by the local chief, creating a marine-protected area with visitors such as jacks, barracudas, sharks, and eagle rays. This is just the beginning. At Mary Island, you might be joined by reef sharks, turtles, and bumphead parrotfish as you swim over thriving hard coral gardens. Then there’s Devil’s Highway, famed as the best place in the Solomons to swim with manta rays as they glide by in formation, feeding in the nutrient-rich currents. This is somewhere where, if the current is running, you can get a truly adrenaline-filled snorkel experience.

And the adventure doesn’t end in the water. You may also explore serene mangroves by kayak and drift peacefully on stand-up paddleboards, soaking up the tranquil surroundings. A highlight of the trip is meeting the floating market, when local villagers paddle out to visit the boat, offering the chance to purchase fresh produce straight from their small boats—everything either freshly grown or freshly caught.
On land, we’ll visit remote villages, where you’ll receive a warm welcome often accompanied by traditional singing and dancing. You’ll soak up the culture and explore historical sites such as the wreck of the MS World Discoverer, as well as take guided walks through lush rainforests alive with sights, sounds, and scents.

This isn’t just a snorkeling trip—it’s a journey across land and sea that opens your eyes to an extraordinary part of the world.

Day 11: Depart for the airport or hotel.
