Solomon Islands Liveaboard Snorkel Safari

The Solomon Islands consist of six major islands and over 900 smaller islands. They're located on the southeastern corner of the Coral Triangle, just northeast of Australia. The Solomon Islands sit within the global epicenter of biodiversity, the Coral Triangle. Thus, you can expect to encounter an overwhelming amount of marine life. This includes beautiful little reef fish that dance like glitter suspended in the water column, larger schooling fish like snappers, jacks, and parrot fish, and awe-inspiring pelagic species like manta rays, reef sharks, and barracuda. Hopefully, we'll also find some weird benthic creatures like scorpion fish, signal gobies, and maybe even a seahorse! Given the Solomons' unique geographic location, straddling the border of Southeast Asia and the South Pacific islands, we'll see a mixture of both of these underwater worlds. We'll see reefs similar to those found around North Sulawesi, where hard and soft corals form a carpet of color and texture. Also, we'll see that many of the reefs share topographic features with Fiji- crevices illuminated by piercing beams of light. There are even a couple of wrecks for us to explore, including some from WWII.
