Florida Islands (Ngella Islands) - General Info
Description:
The Ngellas are situated about 25 NM North of Honiara, Guadalcanal. The chain is composed of the main island, Nggela Sule, as well as a number of smaller islands, including Tulagi, Gavutu and Tanambogo.
This island group have suffered in the past with a bad reputation of crime against cruising boats. Whilst it is true there are certain areas that should be avoided, there are a number of anchorages that are making efforts to welcome visiting yachts by installing secure moorings and providing an infrastructure ashore.
These islands offer a beautiful cruising ground and there are several safe all-weather anchorages.
