The island, which is the second largest in the Solomons,
is most often seen on a full-day air tour from Guadalcanal.
The two most visited areas on Malaita are Alite Village
and Laulasi Village, located on small man-made islands built
on the reefs surrounding Malaita.
The islands were built more than 300 years ago to protect
the lowland villagers from ferocious hill tribes. The villages
offer a good look at a more authentic native lifestyle than
is seen in the capital.
