  • The Solomons' largest range of surfboards — short boards, fish shapes, fibreglass and Firewire mals
  • Five stand-up paddle boards
  • Paddle boards and kayaks
  • Body boards
  • Vuboards for viewing under the water
  • Beach golf
  • Boules
  • Beach volleyball

Three SUPs for surfing are also available for hire, from $50 per day or $200 AUD per week. And remember: Papatura Bay is a marine protected area, so no fishing on the resort side.
The floating bungalow off Papatura

Slow days

Or do very little at all

Grab a book or a magazine from our library. Take a bush walk with our staff in the rainforest and learn about bush foods. Swim in the rainforest waterholes — a great place to escape the mid-summer sun.

Paddle out to the floating bungalow and watch the sunset from the water. Warm your seat at the bar. Talk to someone.
