Consisting of the main island of Santa Isabel, which is the longest island in the Solomon Islands chain, and several smaller islands, the province stretches like a string of emerald green pearls from the Arnavon Islands bordering Choiseul Province on the western flank to Onogou Island bordering with Malaita Province to the east. The capital of the province is Buala on Santa Isabel Island, which has scheduled airline services to Honiara on Solomon Airlines from Fera Airport, on Fera Island, a 15-minute boat ride from Buala.
Alike many of its sister provinces in the Solomon Islands, this relatively undiscovered part of the archipelago is rich in culture and history and the people who live here are as warm and generous as their counterparts in the far-flung reaches of this unspoiled region and like nothing better to show off their beautiful home whenever they have the opportunity.
Isabel Province Day is usually observed very simply with a flag-raising ceremony at the capital and by festivals all across the province. It’s a day for people to get together with friends and family members and enjoy eating yams, taros, fish, and a variety of other dishes.
