Hawai'i

Your paradise awaits... say aloha to unforgettable moments

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.

Flight time.

Hawai'i is approximately an 8-9 hour flight from Auckland. It’s a long journey, but paradise awaits upon landing.

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.

Hi, I’m Namrata — a travel consultant who genuinely cares about your time, your budget, and your hopes for that memorable holiday. I love turning travel ideas into something real and unforgettable. For me, building an itinerary is like solving a puzzle — shaped by your interests, personality, and sense of adventure.

I’m research-driven and love digging into the details that make a trip special. Whether it’s tricky airfares, island-hopping cruises, or crafting meaningful family journeys, I’m here for it.

Travel is never one-size-fits-all, and I look forward to discovering your unique travel style.
Every trip starts with a good chat — let’s start there.

House of Travel Papamoa

I have had a lifelong love affair for exploring the world. Raised in a family that prioritised travel, I inherited a passion for all things travel. I have lived in different countries (London, USA, Argentina) and I am fascinated with the rich tapestry of culture, people, religion and food in new places.

My love for travel has taken me to some of the world’s most amazing places!

From Mauritius to Bahamas and all in between, I have been privileged to experience the world and being able to speak and understand 5 languages English, Afrikaans, Dutch, German and Greek) certainly comes in helpful.

I have grown up in South Africa, spending most of my adult life there, being able to show my clients what makes this region so unique is a privilege. Africa was my backyard after all and even after living in NZ for almost 12 years, my heart still beats to the African Drum.

For me, choosing a favourite destination is impossible. But .. Bali has literally captivated my heart, and even though I have been there 20+ times, I still always find new things to uncover. As does the Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles, these islands just have the “it” factor

I also love ocean cruising, especially Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Cruising offers such a great variety and a chance to see multiple destinations and experiencing iconic landmarks and locations from your hotel on the sea.

I WOULD SAY MY PASSION IS MAKING MY CLIENTS DREAM HOLIDAYS COME TRUE AND I PRIDE MYSELF ON MY EFFICIENT SERVICE AT ALL TIMES.

Why I love travel:

The places I see and the people I meet, travel really is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from all cultures and walks of life. Remember life is short, travel often.

My travel tips:

If you are always early, you are never late.
Prebook as much as possible before you go and schedule rest days on long trips.
Live courageously - you miss 100% of the opportunities you don't take.

My top 3 favourite destinations:

Italy - The food, the history, the people, the stunning coastlines, and mountains. Italy should be on everyone's bucket list.
USA - With a multitude of cultures to experience and adventures to be had, you could spend your life just in the USA and not see everything.
Patagonia - A challenge to reach, the landscapes that will great you make every minute of the journey worth the effort.

What's in my suitcase:

Kindle/E-reader - it is easy to pack, light to carry, and has a long battery life; this is an essential on all my trips.
Noise cancelling headphones - perfect for noisy flights and airports.
Travel plug adapter - easy to forget but a must have.

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.

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.
