Cruises from Alite Harbour

Alite Harbour in the Solomon Islands provides access to a string of man-made islets, built centuries ago by the people of nearby Malaita, in order to protect themselves from the inland bushman. Here in the friendly village you can view demonstrations of traditional Melanesian cooking, basket weaving and palm thatching. You will also be fascinated by the age-old practice of trading shells as money. Interestingly, they still use this traditional currency for bride price.
