Solomon Islands Expedition

Solomon Islands Expedition, October 5th - October 14th 2026 (9 nights)

The Solomon Islands are a bucket-list destination for many adventure-seekers. Featured on David Attenborough’s Blue Planet for their pristine marine ecosystems and abundant wildlife, they are a rare wilderness unlike any other on Earth. In this remote, volcanic island chain, the locals continue to live a life of sustenance, unaffected by our modern distractions and following a pace set by the movements of the ocean.

We are very excited to be leading an expedition into this beautiful corner of the world, where we’ll get the opportunity to slow down and sync with the ocean village pace, spending each day exploring the cultural and natural beauty on offer.

Our good friend, and AIDA freediving Instructor Trainer, Lucas Handley, has lived on and off in the Solomon Islands for over 10 years. Lucas has mentored us in preparation for this trip, providing valuable insights and local connections which we are sure will enrich your experience on the Islands.
