About Marau Airport
Marau Airport is a small domestic airfield serving Marau Sound at the eastern tip of Guadalcanal, the largest island in the Solomon Islands. It provides an important air link between this remote coastal area and Honiara, the national capital.
The airport has a single coral runway and a basic passenger terminal used mainly for Solomon Airlines domestic flights. Services are limited but provide a practical connection for residents, travelers and visitors heading to the lodges and villages around Marau Sound.
Marau Sound is known for its sheltered waters and islands, and the airport is reached mainly by air from Honiara, with onward travel by boat to nearby destinations. There is no direct paved road link to the capital, so flights are the most practical connection.
Passenger facilities are minimal, so travelers should come prepared, but the airport remains a useful gateway to eastern Guadalcanal's coastal communities and marine areas.
