Frequently Asked Questions

At the Point Cruz terminal, opened in late 2024 in the heart of the capital. Mendana Avenue, the main street, lies about 500 metres away.
Yes, if you accept humid heat and occasionally uneven pavements. The National Museum is a few minutes away and the central market about fifteen minutes on foot.
Yams, taro, ripe pineapples, reef fish landed that morning and pyramids of betel nut. Some vendors arrive by boat from coastal villages at dawn. It is the best place to feel everyday Solomon Islands life.
