Guadalcanal, where the country's capital Honiara is located, is the largest island in the Solomons group. Honiara is the Solomons melting pot, where people from all over the country come to work, take their holidays, or just to shop.

The north coast is the hub of the nation, whereas in contrast, the southern coast is much less accessible. Life here moves slowly is always dependent on the weather . The main artistic products created in Guadalcanal are bukaware baskets, trays, bamboo panpipes, and lime containers. Historically it is believed that the island was first occupied 6000 years ago, but European discovery was not until 1568 when the crew of a Spanish skiff first sighted Guadalcanal.

In August 1942, the Americans landed on the island and the Guadalcanal's Campaign' was pivotal to the course of the war in the South Pacific.
