Where to Stay in Guadalcanal – Honiara & Iron Bottom Sound
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Guadalcanal – Honiara & Iron Bottom Sound
Accommodation Overview
Guadalcanal diving is best based from Honiara, where a cluster of hotels from boutique to business-grade sit within minutes of the wharves and shore-wreck access roads. The Heritage Park Hotel and smaller guesthouses cater to dive travellers, and several operators run day boats to Iron Bottom Sound and the Pinnacles. For shore-wreck enthusiasts, simple beachside lodges near Bonegi put a 133 m transport ship at the end of a short walk, while Mendana waterfront stays keep you close to the evening briefing and the morning launch.
