In the Solomon Islands, the population largely sustains itself by selling agricultural products, fish, and the products of fertile forests such as timber, coconut, and palm oil. Additionally, lead, zinc, nickel, and gold mines extracted from underground constitute the country's crucial economic resources. Situated in the northwest of the country formed by the convergence of nearly a thousand volcanic and coral islands, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu in the southeast, and Australia in the northeast surround the Solomon Islands.
The entire country experiences a tropical maritime climate characterized by warmth and moderate humidity. Rainfall, occurring between November and April, sometimes leads to floods, and winds from the west and north can give rise to hurricanes.

You can become part of this magnificent spectacle by joining the warm-hearted locals. The Spear Dance Festival in Santa Catalina in May is known as the epicenter of wild celebrations, featuring traditional dances by the continent's best dancers accompanied by local music.
