## Official travel advisory

**Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution.** The U.S. State Department places Solomon Islands at Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution citing civil unrest, crime and health. Our live index reads 84.6/100. That advisory was last revised Apr 29, 2025, 490 days ago; the index above is recomputed continuously from current reporting.

Solomon Islands carries health risks from widespread mosquito-borne illness, including malaria and dengue, with drug and equipment shortages at clinics beyond Honiara. Leftover World War II ordnance still turns up regularly on land, in forests and underwater, with Hell's Point, the ridges above Honiara, the New Georgia group, the Russell Islands and Tulagi among the worst affected; even swept ground is not considered fully safe. Honiara sees more break-ins, robbery, theft and sexual assault than elsewhere, sometimes against foreigners, though other violent crime stays rare. Protests tied to parliamentary sittings, elections and political uncertainty can erupt quickly and turn violent.
