Tenaru Falls in Honiara, Solomon Islands
Tenaru Falls is a waterfall in the rainforest of Guadacanal, Solomon Islands. It is a 60 metres fall into the Chea River.
Why are waterfalls so appealing? Is it the sheer power of the water cascading over a cliff edge? The torrential noise of gallons of falling water? The feel of a fresh water mist on your skin? Maybe it’s the combination of these that make waterfalls one of the most mesmerising sights nature has to offer.
So when I discovered that Tenaru Falls, just outside Honiara, is reputed to be the best waterfall in the South Pacific, naturally I wanted to go there pretty badly. The kind people at the Solomon Islands Visitor Information Bureau did their best to disuade me, with hair-raising tales of a steep, muddy and very slippery jungle trek.
Trek through miles of unspoiled jungle and marvel at the beauty of Tenaru Falls, the jewel in the crown of the Guadalcanal Rainforest. Tumbling 60 m into the turquoise Chea River, this pair of waterfalls is only accessible by foot, but a swim in the cool waters beneath is an ideal reward for your exertions. The flat, slippery trek involves several river crossings, so hire an experienced guide and bring appropriate footwear. Take plenty of food and water, avoid traveling with young children, and be respectful of the locals whose land you pass through.

Hike to Mataniko Falls, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands
First, sorry about the shaky camera work. I shot all of this on my iPhone; often while hiking. Fine cinematography it ain't, but it hopefully provides a good sense of the trip.
This hike starts in the village of Tavaruhu (I think that's the name) and ascends the hills where some of the fiercest fighting in the WWII Battle for Guadalcanal took place: Galloping Horse Hill, Sea Horse Hill, the Thin Red Line ridge (I believe so-called Bloody Ridge), Hills 54-58. Fox holes dug by American troops line both sides of the trail. I unfortunately started hiking at around 11:30 a.m., so the tropical heat was pretty brutal as I climbed through the barren terrain. Eventually, though, the trail steeply descends into more sheltered jungle. The foxholes continue, including one shown in the video where a Japanese artillery shell has rested for the past 60 years. The trail ends at Mataniko Falls: a series of falls flowing over limestone and through spectacular caves. I ascended the larger waterfall shown in the video and swam about 30 feet into the cave that was the source of the water (I didn't shoot video of this to keep from ruining my iPhone). From the falls, we climbed down to the river and leisurely floated on inner tubes through a limestone gorge (more caves) and thick jungle back to the starting point (also no video... same reason). John, my guide, had a wealth of knowledge about the WWII history of the area... and you'll note he was barefoot.

Top 10 Things to See and Do on the Solomon Islands
Get more Tips here!
Taking a trip to the Solomon Islands will be unlike any other vacation you’ve ever experienced. When visiting one of the last untouched destinations in the Pacific, here are 10 things to see and do.
1. See the Traditional Villages
Choose the Kmaga Village experience where you’ll sleep in a beachfront bungalow and receive top-notch hospitality from the villages’ chief and local families.
2. Visit Central Market in Honiara
Head to Central Market in Honiara on the island of Guadalcanal. The stands are lined with crafts made by talented artisans, fresh fish, fruits, and veggies, and handmade souvenirs for you to take back home.
3. Rent a Boat
Various companies offer boat charters, or you can get behind the wheel and navigate the Pacific on your own. But you can always rent a kayak for a few hours and take in the sights as you paddle along the coast.
4. Snorkel in the Bonegis
They are known for being the best places to explore the Solomons’ marine life. Beneath the Pacific, you’ll see beautiful coral reefs, tropical fish, octopus, and maybe even a few shipwrecks from World War II.
5. The Vilu War Museum
The remnants from those battles during WWII with Japanese and American aircrafts can be found at this open-air museum located deep within the forest of Honiara.
6. Go Birdwatching
Grab your binoculars and your long-focus lens camera and make the trek out to Imbu Rano Lodge. Some of the bird species that you’re likely to encounter include parrots, kingfishers, and white-eyes.
7. Travel to Skull Island
Catch a plane to Munda. And take a boat to Vonavona Lagoon to reach the country’s most sacred place: Skull Island. It’s surrounded by human skulls who were killed during the islands’ headhunting days.
8. Chew a Betel Nut
You should take part in some of their traditional ceremonies, including a little bit of betel nut chewing. A betel nut is the brown or yellow seed of the Areca palm, and users have cited a euphoric feeling while chewing on the nut. All we have to say is: chew at your own risk!
9. Hike Up Kolombangara
This volcano last erupted 10,000 years ago. You’ll need a tour guide to lead you along the way and hack away at the overgrown brush that covers the trail. And after two days, you’ll finally reach the crater.
10. Fall in Love With Tenaru Falls
If you enjoy the great outdoors, we guarantee you’ll fall in love with Tenaru Falls near Honiara. To reach the falls, it’s best to rent a 4WD vehicle because it’s no easy trek through the rough and treacherous path. But it’s definitely worth the drive!
