Tetepare Island is in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. Overseas visitors will need to fly to the capital Honiara and catch a domestic Solomon Airlines flight to the town of Munda.  From Munda, private boat transfers to Tetepare Island are available.

Getting to the SOLOMON ISLANDS
Solomon Airlines and Pacific Blue (Virgin) offer regular flights from Brisbane to Honiara (the capital of the Solomon Islands). The flight takes about three hours. There are also flights to Honiara from Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Vanuatu.

Getting to TETEPARE, WESTERN PROVINCE
Once you are in Honiara, the easiest way to get to Tetepare is to take a domestic flight from Honiara to Munda (a town in the Western Province). Our guides will meet you at the Munda airport (sealed airstrip) and accompany you on the 1.5-2-hour trip to Tetepare in a small motorised boat. Please note, for safety reasons this trip should be made during daylight hours, and so if your flight arrives in Munda after 4pm, you will need to spend the night in Munda and travel to Tetepare the next morning. There is accommodation available at Agnes Lodge in Munda..
The boat trip to Tetepare from Munda takes about 1.5-2 hours, and is a scenic journey along the coast of Rendova Island. Life jackets are provided. We recommend you bring sunscreen, a sunhat, sunglasses, a raincoat and a bottle of drinking water for the trip. Please note, the journey to Tetepare takes us outside the lagoon and on occasions we do encounter wind, swell, chop and waves on the trip, however all our boat drivers have many years of experience driving the routes to and from Tetepare in all conditions. The current cost of the trip, per boat, covers the cost of a driver and the petrol for the boat to come to Munda to collect you and then return to Tetepare with you on board. We endeavour to keep the price of trip as low as possible for guests, however, the price is dictated by the cost of fuel and Tetepare’s remoteness.

Budget Options
If you are on a tight budget, one of the cheapest ways to get to Tetepare from Honiara is to catch the Bikoi passenger boat from Honiara to the town of Ughele on Rendova Island and arrange for the Tetepare boat to pick you up from there. It is a long trip, taking about 24 hours, however, is cheaper than the flight, and drops you at a town closer to Tetepare than Munda, thus saving you money on the transfer. The cost of the transfer from Ughele to Tetepare is just over half the cost of the transfer from Munda..
There are also passenger ferries which run from Honiara to Noro (a town near Munda). The Pelican Express and the Solomon Express both run between Honiara and Noro, the journey taking about one day. The ferry fare is cheaper than the flight. Once you arrive in Noro, you can catch a bus to Munda. Buses run intermittently between Nora and Munda. Please be aware that local transport, such as ferries and buses, often runs on what is affectionately known as Solomon Time. Be prepared for delays. The Tetepare boat can also collect guests from Noro for transfer to Tetepare.
If travelling from Gizo, Agnes Lodge runs a transit boat between Gizo and Munda on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Please contact Agnes Lodge or Go West Tours to book this service.  Travel can also be arranged from Marovo lagoon, including Uepi Resort, Wilderness Resort or Matikuri resthouse.
