The TDA endeavours to keep the cost of transfers as low as possible for guests. These prices just cover the cost of petrol to collect you and return to Tetepare. Transfer cost will be discounted for guests who book for 7 or more nights at the Tetepare Eco-lodge. If you are on a tight budget, one of the cheapest ways to get to Tetepare from Honiara is to catch the Bikoi Ferry from Honiara to the town of Ughele on Rendova Island and arrange for the Tetepare boat to pick you up from there. The ferry trip is a long trip of 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.

Activity Prices
Most activities not requiring a boat are free, such as snorkelling and wildlife walks.

Boat Trip Costs
There are many boat trips available on Tetepare including visits to kastom sites, the crocodile lake, rivers, snorkelling reefs. Additional information and prices available from staff on Tetepare. Some examples include:

Prices for visiting yachts
The TDA welcomes yachts and sailboats to visit Tetepare, but asks that all people visiting Tetepare on sailing boats pay the $50 SBD/$8.50 AUD Kastom Fee and follow the TDA visitors code of conduct, including rules prohibiting fishing within the Marine Protected Area. Yatchspeople are also welcome to book accommodation at the ecolodge, and to hire local guides for on- island activities such as bushwalks, wildlife watching trips, kastom site visits and snorkelling trips. Should you wish to stay at the ecolodge or hire guides, we recommend you contact us in advance of your arrival to ensure rooms and guides are available for you. To read an information sheet for visiting yachts, please click here.

Prices quoted in Australian Dollars (AUD) are a guide only, because exchange rates fluctuate. Prices will be charged in Solomon Island Dollars (SBD). Payments will be accepted in Solomon Dollars, or by advanced bank transfer. Bank transfers will only be accepted if paid at least 10 day before arrival on Tetepare, to allow us to confirm successful transfer of the funds with our bank.

The above prices are current, as of July 2009. Prices may change without notice.

RECENT VISITOR COMMENTS

"Thank you very much for a wonderful stay in a unique location. It is a glorious unspoilt island and is a treasure for the Solomons. Its pristine environment is a credit to its caretakers.’’
Geraldine and Tim George, Honiara/Australia, 2008.

“One of the best conservation and tourism programs in the Solomon Islands. I wish you well.’’
Mark Ligo, March 2008

“What a wonderful place with wonderful people. Where in the whole world can you walk through virgin equatorial rainforest and then swim in a lagoon and see turtles, barracuda, bumphead parrotfish, sharks and even dugong, in crystal clear water? Tetepare is unique and will be ever more unique and cherished as much of the world deteriorates environmentally. Congratulations to the TDA for their foresight and commitment and increasingly evident success. The world is indebted to you.’’
Gregory Mackenzie, Sydney Australia, September 2008

“Tetepare is a very special place. The snorkelling was out of this world. Had fun watching the turtles and crocodiles. Fantastic food.’’
Debbie Bax, New Zealand, December 2007

“Tetepare is a very special and beautiful place. Congratulations to everyone for your hard work to conserve it. Don’t give up the fight.’’
Anne-Marie Byrne, Sydney Australia, May 2007

“What an incredible island! Such an amazing history, landscape and fauna/flora. But above all, the stay is made so special by the enthusiasm, interest, humour and attention to detail of the lovely staff. And of course, the food, which is better than anything in Honiara. The Tetepare project should be an important part of the future of tourism in the Solomons and long may the funding and the support of the Tetepare Descendants’ continue."
William Baron, CBSI, August 2007
