		 If 
		you’ve been in the diving world for a while, you’ve most certainly heard 
		of the Bilikiki! One of the most highly-revered liveaboard experiences 
		in the world, the Bilikiki is not flashy, but she packs a seriously 
		unforgettable time.  | 
    
	
    |   | 
    
	
    | 
	 
	 Perhaps 
	a lesser known destination, the Solomon Islands sit within the magnificent 
	Coral Triangle among its much more visited neighbors; The Philippines and 
	Indonesia.
  Made up of over 990 islands, each main island area has its 
	own language, culture and traditions. Visiting a local village or two is a 
	must for anyone visiting the islands. See the famous wood carvers from the 
	Western Provence, hear the catchy sounds of modern day pan pipe music played 
	on PVC piping and a pair of old flip flops, watch men and women perform 
	custom dances, be traditionally greeted by warriors or escorted into a 
	village by a “war canoe”. The best way to see a country of islands and to 
	dive their waters is by liveaboard and the Bilikiki has been operating in 
	these islands for more than 28 years, making her a Solomon local.

	The main attraction for us, however, is the diving! While the Coral Triangle 
	covers only 1.6% of Earth’s oceanic area, over 70% of the ocean’s coral 
	species live here - boasting a biodiversity full of thousands of fish, 
	crustacean, and mammal species. It’s truly a diver’s haven! | 
    
	
    |   | 
    
	
    
	 Dive 
	into a world of pelagics, small critters, wrecks, caves, amazingly healthy 
	coral gardens, sand slopes, mangroves, walls and seamounts. Despite the 
	beauty of the Solomon Islands, there aren’t a lot of operators located here. 
	This means that dive sites remain relatively untouched and you’ll most often 
	be the only divers around. Jump in for a truly serene and magical experience 
	aboard the Bilikiki. Sign up today!  |

	Here are a few recent guest reviews of the MV Bilikiki: | 
    
	
    | 
	“My bucket list trip. Outstanding crew and service. Superb diving. Stable 
	and comfortable vessel and accommodations. The chefs do a marvelous job, 
	even catering to vegan and gluten free diets. Can't say enough good things 
	about them. Just do it!" | 
    
	
     | 
    
	
    | 
	"I had an amazing 10 nights onboard the 
	Bilikiki! The dive sites were so diverse and so beautiful. We had some 
	amazing encounters with wildlife, the crew is phenomenal and has so much 
	energy and enthusiasm for what they do, and lastly it is so well organized 
	and run which allowed us to dive to our hearts content. The dive deck is 
	spacious and well sorted making suiting up and getting back on the boat so 
	easy. We will be heading back next year!" | 
    
	
     | 
    
	
    | 
	"Always a great time on the 
	Bilikiki. Spectacular diving, excellent food and an amazing crew. One of the 
	best laid out boats I've been diving on." |
