Etikave

Etikave, also known as Etikave Island, is a small, uninhabited island located in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,000 kilometers east of Papua New Guinea. The island is part of the Solomon Islands archipelago and is known for its pristine coral reefs and diverse marine life. Etikave is a popular destination for snorkelers and divers due to its clear waters and abundant marine biodiversity.

The island is characterized by its steep, volcanic terrain, with a maximum elevation of about 300 meters. The landscape is dominated by dense tropical rainforests, which provide habitat for various bird species and other wildlife. The island's remote location and lack of human habitation have helped preserve its natural environment, making it an important conservation area.

Etikave is accessible by boat from nearby islands, such as Makira and Malaita. Visitors typically spend a few days exploring the island's beaches, snorkeling in the surrounding waters, and hiking through the rainforests. The island's remote location and limited facilities make it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful and unspoiled tropical getaway.
