Things to Do  

Rainforest Walk

Rainforest Walk, New Georgia

 minstrel74 Says:  I was able to arrange a guided rainforest walk through Agnes Lodge in Munda. This was a very educational experience as there are many plants in the forest which can cure ailments and serve various purposes that are not well-known to outsiders. 

Skull Island

Skull Island, New Georgia

 minstrel74 Says:  If you come to New Georgia, you absolutely must visit this small island just a short ways across the lagoon from Munda. There's a large headhunting shrine filled with the skulls of vanquished enemies from days gone by as well as a beautifully carved casket holding the skulls... 

American Dump

 minstrel74 Says:  Just a short ways easy of Munda hidden in the jungle is a spot where American military forces during WWII abandoned some large supplies, including barges, tanks, and all manner of military relics. These rusted hulks also seem to support a substantial population of colorful...

Fishing off New Georgia

Fishing off New Georgia, New Georgia

 minstrel74 Says:  While on my way back from Skull Island, my guide dropped a trolling line off the back of the canoe and after a few minutes appeared to have caught something. It turned out to be a two or three foot long Spanish mackerel! If you'd like to do some fishing in the lagoon of New...
