Itineraries

Solomons Master explores the Solomon Islands through itineraries that combine vibrant coral reefs, dramatic underwater formations and historically significant wreck sites. Depending on the selected route, diving may take place around the Florida and Russell Islands, Guadalcanal and the Western Province, with opportunities to explore walls, swim-throughs, caverns and sites associated with World War II. Some itineraries focus more closely on wreck diving, while others offer a broader mix of reef environments, marine life and underwater topography. Selected routes also include visits to local villages, adding a cultural dimension to the experience.

When to Go

Solomons Master offers itineraries scheduled across different months of the year, with trips ranging from seven to ten nights. Rather than following a single fixed route, the yacht explores different parts of the Solomon Islands according to the departure schedule. Options include the Florida and Russell Islands, Guadalcanal and the Western Province, broader explorations of the archipelago, and dedicated World War II wreck itineraries.

When choosing travel dates, consider the type of diving that interests you most. A wreck-focused itinerary is suited to divers keen to explore the region's wartime history, while broader routes offer a mix of reefs, walls, caverns and marine habitats. Departure dates and routes vary throughout the year, so the scheduled itinerary is the best guide to which areas a particular trip will explore.
