• For those who appreciate war relics and/or snorkeling, there are a number of relics in the area. Stay at Leleana on Kolombangara, and you can be taken to these sites, including an underground hospital - not for those who may be claustrophobic.

• Or just relax, or hike to the extinct volcano or listen to the birds & take some advice from 'Our latest Review": 

• Our stay at Leleana Resort was nothing short of magical!

• The snorkeling was not just amazing — it was the best of our entire trip. Truly world-class. The reefs were bursting with life, crystal-clear water, vibrant coral, and an unbelievable diversity of marine species. Every time we slipped into the water it felt like entering a living aquarium.

• What makes this place even more special is how untouched and pure everything feels.

• Set on a dormant volcano, the island has a raw, wild beauty that is becoming so rare in the world. It feels authentic, unspoiled, and deeply connected to nature. From our bungalow veranda, we watched breathtaking sunsets paint the sky in gold and pink, while reef sharks cruised by, dolphins played in the distance, and even octopus made appearances.

• The wildlife diversity was absolutely insane — and experiencing it all right from our doorstep was surreal.

• The bird watching was fantastic as well, with incredible species calling the island home. Everywhere we turned, there was something beautiful to see.

• But what truly elevated our stay were the people. The staff were some of the warmest, kindest, and most genuinely helpful people we’ve ever met. They helped us at every turn and made us feel so welcome. Their friendliness and care added so much heart to an already spectacular place.

• Leleana Resort Kolombangara isn’t just a destination — it’s an experience.
