There is no airstrip so the 100 or so tourists that arrive each year do so by boat from Samoa.<br> <br> The volatile Solomon Islands has virtually no commercial tourism and many areas are still regarded dangerous for travellers. The islands offer great adventure with very traditional culture and some of the best dive sites in the world.<br> <br> The thousands of tiny islands that make up Micronesia offer a mix of large resorts catering to mostly Japanese and American tourists and remote islands like Yap where traditions remain very strong<br> <br> The 33 tiny atolls of the Kiribati span 3.5 million sq km of ocean.
