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.

With many years at House
of Travel, I have a passion for travelling and exploring the world.
I look forward to working with you and planning your next adventure

From the first travel I did as a teenager I have wanted to travel the world, experience the food, absorb the culture and learn the history!!!
I have always been passionate about creating the ultimate holidays and feel that makes me the best planner of your holidays that I can be!!
I had been selling travel for over 20 years when I felt something else was needed and to the leap to be the retail manger of House of Travel Papamoa. I feel I have never looked back and enjoy leading a fantastic group of people!!
I love my job!!! I love the fact that no one holiday is ever the same and also thrive on a challenge of a complex itinerary, round the world flight or something out of the norm.
I think the benefit you get with me is the experience I have had planning and travel and the places I have travelled.
I have travelled extensively and in particular done a lot around New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific Islands, USA and Europe and find that travel opens your mind to another world full of new experiences, new tastes and an appreciation for life in general.
I have a rule that every trip I do I need to pick one unique thing to do on holiday that is un-usual or you would not do on another holiday .... I have been hot air ballooning, have been on a segway tour, have helicoptered out to an island etc.
My Travel Tips
* I am a bit of a IT geek so always travel with an adaptor that has USB ports for my IWatch, iPhone and iPad.
*Have a store of great apps that help with travel, packing, maps, closest toilet etc.!!
*Always keep in touch with your travel agent so they can keep you up to date with deals that are out for your next holiday.
*Cash passports are a MUST as safe and easy way to travel.
The best holidays are definitely created together so would love to get you in for an appointment and have a discussion about your travel dreams.

I liken planning a holiday to baking a cake. It takes several well measured and thought out ingredients for a great result.
I have been lucky to have travelled extensively myself and being a travel consultant for more than 20 years, I use these 'ingredients' - experience and expertise - to draw on to help create amazing holidays and lifelong memories.
It is such a pleasure to help my clients get the best out of their holidays and manage an incredible team of travel professionals.

Hawaii offers a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. You can soak up the sun on stunning beaches like Waikiki in Oahu, or Hapuna on the Big Island. Dive into vibrant underwater worlds at Hanauma Bay. Explore lush landscapes with hikes to waterfalls and volcanoes, such as those in Haleakalā National Park and Volcanoes National Park. Don’t miss out on experiencing a traditional luau, surfing the famous North Shore waves, or simply enjoying the local cuisine and hospitality. Fancy a touch of retail therapy head to Ala Moana shopping centre – or the Waikele Premium Outlets for a big brand bargain. There’s truly something for everyone in this tropical paradise!
Where to stay in Hawaii?
Choosing where to stay in Hawaii is a breeze with so many awesome options!
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.
Kauai: Looking for peace and quiet? The Garden Isle has charming boutique hotels and resorts in Princeville and Poipu with breathtaking views.
What should I pack for my trip to Hawaii?
Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Include comfortable walking shoes and a light jacket for cooler evenings or higher elevations, such as Haleakalā National Park in Maui.
Do I need travel insurance for Hawaii?
Yes, it is highly recommended to have travel insurance for your trip to Hawaii. We offer a range of travel insurance options suitable for travel to Hawaii. Find more information on our website.
How to get around in Hawaii?
Hiring a car is recommended for exploring the islands, especially in Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai where public transportation is limited.
Where to shop in Hawaii?
Hawaii offers fantastic shopping options from high-end malls to expansive open-air shopping precincts, outlets and flea markets! In Oahu, explore the luxury boutiques along Waikiki’s Kalakaua Avenue and the Ala Moana Center for a massive open-air shopping experience. Don’t miss Waikele Premium Outlets for great deals on designer brands.
What are some family-friendly activities in Hawaii?
Hawaii is a fantastic family holiday destination. Visit the Waikiki Aquarium in Oahu, explore Maui Ocean Centre, or take a submarine tour in Kona. Enjoy beach days, hiking trails, and cultural experiences like luau shows across the islands. Or feeling adventurous, swim with the Manta rays on the Big Island. 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.
