Exercise increased caution

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand. Civil unrest can arise with little notice and political developments can result in violence.

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Solomon Islands should be aware of are:

  • Crime—criminal activity, including theft, assault and sexual assault targeting foreigners has occurred. Pay close attention to your personal security.
  • Natural disasters and severe weather—Solomon Islands is in an active seismic zone and earthquakes, volcanic activity and tsunamis can occur. The Pacific cyclone season usually runs from November to April.
  • Health—mosquito-borne diseases are widespread. Take precautions to prevent being bitten by mosquitos.
