Major Airports & Gateways
Honiara (HIR): The Solomon Islands’ main international airport and primary gateway, offering flights across the Pacific to destinations in Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu and onward connections; ideal for international travel and access to the capital Honiara.
Others: Domestic airports include Munda (MUA), Gizo (GZO), Auki (AKS), Kirakira (IRA), Suavanao (VAO), Ramata (RBV), Santa Ana (NNB) and numerous community airstrips that support local travel across the archipelago.
Best Time to Fly
The best time to fly to the Solomon Islands is generally during the dry season, which runs from April to October. During these months, the weather is sunnier, with lower humidity and less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities like diving, snorkeling, trekking, and exploring islands such as Honiara, Gizo, and Munda.
The wet season, from November to March, brings higher humidity, frequent heavy rains, and occasional tropical storms or cyclones, which can disrupt travel plans and flights. However, this period can still be appealing for travelers seeking fewer crowds and lush green landscapes, particularly in the rainforest and inland areas.
If your goal is marine activities, the months of May to September are best for diving and snorkeling, with clearer waters and better visibility. For cultural festivals and local events, check specific dates, as they can vary but often occur during the dry season when travel conditions are more reliable.
Flying during the dry season also reduces the risk of flight delays caused by adverse weather, which is important for a country with many smaller inter-island flights.
