Local know-how
Staying safe
- •The Solomon Islands are located along the Pacific "Rim of Fire" and prone to earthquakes—including some rather large quakes!
- •While not as bad as neighbouring Papua New Guinea, crime rates in the Solomon Islands are high.
- •Ethnic tension between Guales (residents of Guadalcanals) and Malaitans, as well as between Islanders and the Chinese, continues to simmer.
Staying healthy
- •Malaria is the biggest health issue in the Solomon Islands. Travellers to the area should take anti-malarial pills before, during and after their stay.
- •Saltwater Crocodiles are relatively common (in comparison to other islands in the South Pacific) in the Solomon Islands and great care should be taken while in or near any body of water.
- •Visitors are advised not to drink the water straight from the tap. Boil it first or drink bottled water.
