Solomon Islands Travel
Welcome to the Solomon Islands.a very special place… swaying palms, white sandy beaches, warm crystal clear water home to thousands of reef fish, a sacred place, a place where you can pay tribute to past heroes and learn a little of their battles. A place where you can cross a lagoon that you will never forget. A place where you can stay and eat in five star luxury or get away from it all in a home stay over water. A place that embraces the future but still holds on to the past and it’s traditional culture.
The Solomon Islands, Islands adrift in time, A place time passed by… however you describe the Solomons the Solomons are so Solomons so different.

A Quick Morning Visit to Gizo, Solomon Islands
There isn't much to see in the little town of Gizo, on Ghizo Island in the Solomon Islands. One street. A market. And only one souvenir shop selling exquisite wood carvings; needless to say, the best with exquisitely high prices!
We were supposed to visit Kennedy Island in the p.m., where JFK swam to after PT-109 was sunk by the Japanese but a developer bought the island, destroyed its reef and is busy building overwater cottages. Sigh...
Cook Islands Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Situated at the very centre of Polynesia, the Cook Islands is an archipelago nation comprised of 15 islands. It is spread across an area in the South Pacific, three times the size of Texas..
Supremely beautiful, with pristine white sands fringed by coconut palms, the Cook Islands possess a castaway island magic and yet is only a four hour flight from New Zealand.
According to legend, these tiny islands, dotted amongst the vast ocean, were discovered thousands of years ago by the very finest Polynesian seafarers. Guided by the stars and using other sophisticated navigation techniques, they landed their legendary double hulled Vakas and set about creating paradise.
It is a rhythm you’ll feel as soon as you touch down in Raratonga, the largest island in the group.
You could easily drive around this sparkling island in half an hour if you hurry, but that’s the charm of the Cook Islands….. no one does.
It has been almost 250 years since Captain Cook became the first European to discover these islands and yet there is a gentle timelessness that endures here.
Come and discover the generous rhythm and warm hospitality of the Cook Islands for yourself.

**For more information**
Transcript:
Upon arriving and stepping off the you're solomon Airlines flight at Sege Airport you will enjoy the quick pick up service from plane to boat, it sure beats any taxi line up at a major airport.
The boat journey is approx 30 mins and skips you over Marovo Lagoon to the edge where Uepi resort is situated.
This surely has to be best way to travel, and you really get the sense you are going to be visiting somewhere special.
Upon arrival at the Welcome Jetty where you are likely to be welcomed by your hosts and the friendly staff.
You will soon discover that there is also a wonderful welcome committee right under and around the welcome jetty, the black tip reef sharks and schools of colourful fish are a site for all.
One of the things you will notice when wandering around, is the the way the accommodation and guest areas, are shaded by the tropical canopy of trees and plants, the gardens around the resort are stunning, I don't think I have ever seen so many orchids growing in one place.
One of the attractions of Uepi is the small number of guests sharing this beautiful island.
There are six spacious, well appointed bungalows for families and couples along with two units and two guest rooms.
You will find the accommodation is well screened, the rooms are spacious and there are ceiling fans, plenty of power outlets, the kitchenette facilities are perfect for making a cupa before relaxing on the balcony with a good book!
The food is also special with most of the food being organically produced on, and from the surrounding islands. Nothing beats fresh seafood which is caught from the waters around the island.
There are plenty of activities for families, from water based activities to visiting the local villages.
We enjoyed our time spent snorkelling and swimming and getting to know the locals at the welcome jetty.
If you're into diving you wont be dissapointed, with heaps of great dives available for Beginners to Experienced divers.
If you just wanted to chill and relax the beach is a stunning setting to swim and relax, or pass time by watching the stunning sunsets over the lagoon.
If you would like to find out more about this resort and the Solomon Islands for family holidays, be sure to head on over to littlenomads.com for more details.
