Malaita Village
In partnership with village people of the Solomon Islands, we combine knowledge of the surf breaks, culture and environment to offer a life changing, ethical surf tourism experience.
WHERE?

Sure, there's tourism in the Solomon's but not in the north east where we are going. In the North of Malaita we'll find reef breaks with waves surfed by few. And there are other locations with potential... And that have never been surfed. Be among the first to surf a new break.

Our itinerary will vary depending on surf and/or the weather conditions and will be at the discretion of our guides.

YOU'RE GUIDES
As with any remote and undeveloped location, anything can go wrong. Expect the unexpected but you will be in the experienced hands of your guides Tony and Cynthia.

We'll visit Cynthia's tribal homeland at Lau Lagoon in North Malaita. Tony is an Australian who spent 14 years living and working in Villages of the Solomon's. Both have an in-depth knowledge of the area, the people, the language, natural environment, the agriculture and the human culture.

We will have local guides from each village to look after us on both sea and land. Through them, you will experience a rare insight into a very different way of life.
