Solomon Islands

Anyone have any inside information regarding when Solomon Islands will open? Have a trip in August, but don't think it will open. Looking to book another trip to French Polynesia for same time period, but reluctant without official word on Solomon's. Thank you.

Just got off the phone with Solomon Islands Department of Tourism. Not going to open any time soon. Sigh...

The country is pretty much closed for incoming passengers at the minute and only 10 per week can exit. Getting the exemption to come back in is painful so not many expats leaving. The State of Emergency powers for the government have been extended for 4 months just recently. I doubt any of us will see any normality until mid next year at this point. On a good note, no covid here at all so no lock downs or restrictions in country hence we can go diving as much as we want... But it can be a tad expensive.
