Maravovo (or alternatively Marovovo) is a village on the northwest coast of Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands.
It is located 57.6 kilometres (35.8 mi) by road northwest of Honiara.
[2] On 7 October 1942, during the Guadalcanal campaign, the Japanese established a small midget submarine base there.
On 7 February 1943, when the first American troops reached the area, they only encountered slight resistance, and found that most of the Japanese had already been evacuated during Operation Ke.
[3] The wreck of one of the midget submarines still lies underwater[4] in the bay facing the village.
