In a destination famous for WWII history, this is the one experience that lets you step straight into the living, beating heart of Solomon Islands culture – and it’s still one of Honiara’s best-kept secrets.

What’s exciting about this tour, You don’t just watch – you become part of it and actually do the things islanders have done for thousands of years: -Start a fire the ancient way (no matches allowed!) -Weave your own small basket to take home -Join the circle for powerful traditional dances and chants
