Arnavon Community Marine Conservation Area
A remote haven that will leave you breathless with its spectacular scenery and flourishing wildlife.
The Arnavon Islands are marine turtle reserves in one of the most beautiful and untouched areas of the Solomon Islands — this remote haven will leave you breathless with its spectacular scenery and flourishing wildlife.
The islands
The Arnavon Community Marine Conservation Area is made up of 40,000 acres, consisting of three small uninhabited islands. Here you will find thriving coral reefs and lagoons filled with countless species of underwater creatures, white sand beaches with crystal blue water that are also home to thousands of egg-breeding turtles, and a high diversity and abundance of birds.
Turtle conservation
Since the establishment of the ACMCA the number of hawksbill turtle nests that are laid annually has more than doubled. Today around 1,200 hawksbill turtle nests are laid every year in the Arnavons group.
When visiting Arnavon not only will you experience its scenic beauty, but you will also have the opportunity to assist rangers with their nightly monitoring of turtle egg-laying.
