2 great tours - I did 2 tours with Hapi Isles, and they were both great. The first day I did the WW2 tour. I had Ricky as a guide and Mo as a driver. They took me to a bunch of sites. The highlights were a Japanese tunnel and a beach that has a bunch of rusted out American tanks! They also gave a lot of good information, way more than I would have gotten just going on my own. The second day I did a city tour. They took me around Honiara. Unfortunately some things were closed as it was Sunday, but they took me to some other places instead to make up for it. Another good day. They know so much about the area. Book them, you won’t be disappointed.

Really good day out - Very friendly guides who were eager for me to enjoy the trip. The sites are well worth visiting but I’d recommend doing some reading beforehand as there is little information at the places you visit. I’d recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Military History. Thanks to Samson for taking great care of me.

Great Battlefields tour with informative guide. - Our guide was on time and we started our tour at unity square. We went to the USA memorial, Japanese memorial and Mt. Austen WW2 Museum and met Charlie who has taken over the Museum from his dad. Went to the Memorial Garden and went to the Memorial Tower lookout. Our guide was very informative and made sure we saw everything e wanted to see and more. We were very pleased with his service and everything we saw during the tour.

Understand the impact of WWII - This was a wonderful tour of WWII history. Seeing the sites and landscape gave a real appreciation of the challenges faced by the allies during the battle. Our guide and driver were very knowledgeable and flexible with our schedule. One caution, once you get off the main road the roads are not very good. We felt safe with our driver who navigated the roads expertly.

A lot to see - A great tour with friendly and cheerful guide and driver. Highlight was the private museum/collection of Willie Besi. Would have been even better if some artefacts like a tank or shipwreck had been included. The Tetere Beach WWII Museum was unfortunately skipped, possibly because we had some car problems.

The tour and guide are good, but meal is not - The tour is imaginative, taking the tourists mostly to the East side of the island, including the Red Beach, a bit far away from the town and thus hard to access. The guide and driver are acknowledgeable. However, the tour does not offer lunch for small parties (less than 3 pax) even though it is clearly stated on the website and the ticket.
