Solomon Islands Shopping

Honiara town centre is level, shady and interesting, with a bustling air and interesting shops, some specialising in local handicrafts, others in duty free goods. The range of products however is limited. Here also is the centre of commerce, banks, postal service, Telekom, restaurants, tourist information centre and local tour operators. The outdoor markets around town are a wonderful opportunity to mix with the locals. Here you will find an interesting array of local goods and produce, from fresh fish and vegetables, fruit, peanuts and betel nuts, to carvings, basket ware, calico lava-lavas and shells. Solomon Islands has some of the finely handcrafted Art and Craft, from the brown streaked carvings with its inlaid mother of pearls to pandanus baskets, bays and trays with amazingly minute pattterns.
