Gizo Island
The final spot in the top best places in the Solomon Islands is Gizo Islands. Gizo is the Solomon Islands' third-largest town. It has a tiny landing strip on the adjacent island of Nusatupe to the northeast of the town, which makes it comparatively developed in comparison to other villages in the area. Gizo is now a tourist destination, with diving and surfing among the most popular sports. The Gizo markets are well-known for their handcrafted wood and stone sculptures, as well as woven bags, baskets, and mats. Three World War II aircraft are on display. Divers can also participate in events.
BirdLife International has designated the entire island and its surrounding seas as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports populations of numerous endangered or endemic bird species. Melanesian scrubfowl, red-knobbed imperial pigeons, buff-headed coucals, Sanford's sea eagles, Solomons cockatoos, cardinal lories, song parrots, and Gizo white-eyed parrots are among them. Logging and forest removal pose a threat to the site.
