Nusa Roviana is a small island off Munda that played a key role in the Solomon Islands campaign during World War II. Visitors can explore the remains of a Japanese seaplane base, where floatplanes once operated, and walk through dark, moss-covered tunnels that served as storage and shelter. The island's dense jungle and coral shoreline add a sense of discovery, making it a must-visit for history buffs. Local guides often share stories passed down through generations, bringing the site's wartime past to life.

Don't miss
