Well that depends where you’re planning to head. Downtown Honiara, about 4 miles from Honiara Airport (HIR-Honiara Intl.), can be tricky to drive in. Make it easy on yourself by choosing something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. Bear in mind that Honiara is an excellent base to explore some of the coral reefs around Solomon Islands. If your journey is more about cruising down highways, then you may like something with a little more trunk space and room to move about. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
