Climb from lowland rainforest into moss-draped cloud forest to the crater rim, on trails kept by the island's own conservation association.
Kolombangara is an almost perfectly round dormant volcano across the strait from Gizo, rising to 1,770 m at the rim of its crater. The summit trek passes from lowland rainforest into moss-draped cloud forest, and is run with guides from the community conservation association that protects the island's upper slopes.
Fly Honiara to Gizo, then cross to Kolombangara by boat. Treks start from villages on the southern coast.
