Kirakira is "Off the beaten track" and receives very few visitors.

 
 There is a strong desire to develop tourism as a much need source of sustainable revenue for the Kirakira community.

 There are unique surfing breaks on Makira Island with its black beaches and wonderful snorkelling particularly in the Islands of just off Kirakira.

 There are sandy beaches surrounded by opalescent waters at the "Three Sisters" Island group and Ugi Island.

 These waters are dotted with coral reefs where one can spend hours exploring and finding an exhilarating variety and species of tropical fish.
The Islands can be accessed by an outboard motor boat that takes about 45–60 minutes to reach from Kirakira harbour.
It makes a perfect day trip for a group of 3–6 people.
The cost of Boat Hire, A couple of Guides and Petrol for a Day Trip is around $1500–1800 SBD.
If you have a group of 4–6 people and take along some fresh fruit and coconuts for lunch, this can make for an amazing daytrip for about US$50 per person.
If you are interested in flora and fauna then there are many exciting bird-watching trails that you can find.

 
 There are also some very interesting villages to visit.
Perhaps most interesting of all is the fact that in the 21st century people are still living a traditional village based life.
In this remote province people still predominantly live in houses built with thatched palm fronds.

 The society is filled with local Kastoms that is refreshingly untouched by the busyness of the rest of the world.

If you are visiting Kirakira you do need to take some precautions to minimise the risk of catching Malaria.
These include taking appropriate chemoprophylaxis(Either daily doxycycline or weekly Chloroquinine) and reducing your risk of being bitten by mosquitoes by wearing long sleeves shirts, using insect repellant at dusk and sleeping under a mosquito net wherever possible.
You should be wary about swimming in inland river systems as there are saltwater crocodiles and there have been many instances of swimmers being bitten.
Tourists and visiting students need to know that there is no TV, no Facebook and for those who are workaholics; no email access.
There is reasonable mobile phone access in Kirakira and you can send a short SMS.
The most relaxing part of any visit to Kirakira is that you are free from the continuous cycle of news and being accessible to your work that invades all aspects of life in the more developed world.
A few weeks spent in Kirakira will do wonders for your conversation skills at night time with your fellow travellers or hosts and you just might manage to read a book or two and lower you blood pressure!

In an exciting development for the local community, Kirakira is going to hold the first banana festival in the first week of June.
It is hoped the publicity from this event might encourage more people to be brave enough to travel and experience the unique community in Kirakira.
