Flight time.
Hawai'i is approximately an 8-9 hour flight from Auckland. It’s a long journey, but paradise awaits upon landing.
Explore the islands of aloha
As your plane gently dips towards Hawai‘i, you find yourself drawn towards the window, excitement rising as turquoise waters, lush mountains, and golden sands come into view. It’s the moment your holiday dreams become real.
Stepping onto the islands, you're immediately greeted with a warm "aloha" - a word you'll soon embrace wholeheartedly as you slip into the relaxed rhythm of island life.
Hawai‘i inspires adventure, discovery, and joyful new experiences. Ever dreamed of catching your first wave? Friendly instructors are ready to get you surfing like a local in no time. Want to embrace your adventurous side or simply unwind? Hawai‘i's islands cater effortlessly to both.
Whether you're exploring breathtaking volcanic landscapes, discovering secret beaches, or tasting fresh island flavours, Hawai‘i invites you to create pinch-me moments every day.
Hawai'i is calling! Come and talk to our Hawai'i travel specialists today.
Best time to go.
The best time to visit Hawai'i is between April and October, when the weather is warm and sunny, perfect for beach activities and outdoor adventures.
Time difference.
Hawai'i is 22 hours behind New Zealand, so you’ll essentially be traveling back in time. The time difference is substantial, so plan accordingly.

Oahu: Want the buzz of the city with a beachside vibe? Waikiki is your spot! Tons of hotels, endless shopping, and great nightlife right on the famous Waikiki Beach and get around easily on the Waikiki Trolley bus.
Maui: If luxury is your thing, head to Wailea for stunning resorts and beautiful beaches. For a more laid-back vibe, try Lahaina or Kaanapali.
Big Island: Get close to nature at Kohala Coast’s fancy resorts or enjoy the chill atmosphere of Kona’s cozy beachside hotels.

Another great activity for families is to visit Pearl Harbor, the historic site of the US naval base, see the USS Arizona Memorial, and explore the museums and exhibits. A half day tour is enough to cover the main attractions, but you can also spend a full day if you want to see more.
