Kolombangara Mountain Hike
Spend a day hiking through virgin primary rainforest, then overnight at the campsite. Early next morning a climb through the montane moss forest brings you to the crater rim at 1,760 metres, that allows you to enjoy views across the lagoon and island systems of this incredible area. Spend the rest of the day walking back to sea level where the boat will whisk you back to Lola for a well earned cold drink and a chance to put your feet up. For those who don't feel up to a 2 day hike easier walks can easily be arranged to nearby lower peaks.
