Car
If you are driving from Auki, the capital of Malaita, head east on the main road towards the coast. Continue for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the junction near the village of Kwainaa. Take a right turn towards the coastal road, which leads you through several small villages. Follow the signs to Maramasike. Expect a travel time of about 1 hour, depending on road conditions. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain, as some parts of the coastal road may be unpaved.
