Overview

In a destination famous for WWII history, this is the one experience that lets you step straight into the living, beating heart of Solomon Islands culture – and it’s still one of Honiara’s best-kept secrets.

Hotomai Cultural Village is 100% authentic and community owned. Every dollar you spend goes straight back to the village – education, health, and keeping customs alive.

What’s exciting about this tour, You don’t just watch – you become part of it and actually do the things islanders have done for thousands of years:
-Start a fire the ancient way (no matches allowed!)
-Weave your own small basket to take home
-Join the circle for powerful traditional dances and chants

When booking your tour with us, you’re looked after like family from the moment we collect you from your hotel.

Guides like Samson, Rickie, and Morrison who are famous for their stories, smiles, and making everyone feel instantly at home
