The Solomon Islands are comprised of more than 990 islands just south of the Equator. The island range from large landmasses with rugged mountains and virgin forests, to low lying coral atolls.  They are scattered in a double chain of islands covering 1.35 million sq km of sea and extend for 1.667k, in a south-easterly direction from Papua New Guinea. The country's capital, Honiara, is situated on the north-west coast on the island of Guadalcanal. Virtually untouched by commercial development, the island group remains a natural paradise.   Most of the people still practice a traditional way of life, shunning the hectic pace and material concerns of the outside world.

The climate is tropical. The average daytime temperatures are usually 26-33oC and drop down to 22-26oC at night.  The light south east trade winds blow from April to November.  This time of the year is characterised by fine dry weather.  December to March is the “wet” season - the north west monsoon. 

During the Second World War the Solomons became the key turning point in the desperate and bitter struggle by allied forces to repel the Japanese advances in the South Pacific. Most of the fighting was concentrated off the mainland Guadalcanal area  and around Tulagi  in the neighbouring Floridas Islands.
