Bonegi river spring

The Bonegi River Spring flows through dense tropical vegetation, forming a natural freshwater source that extends into a wider river system.

During World War II in 1942, two Japanese freighters sank near the river mouth, creating underwater sites now known as Bonegi I and Bonegi II.

Local Solomon Islander communities maintain traditional fishing practices along the Bonegi River, passing knowledge through generations of river management.

The spring location sits 12 kilometers west of Honiara, with direct road access and parking facilities for vehicles near the riverbank.

The river creates a meeting point between fresh spring water and ocean water, supporting both freshwater and marine species in one ecosystem.
