The Hawaiian Islands

The Aloha State

General:

NZ power adaptors/chargers etc. need an adaptor in Hawaii. Take a 4-way powerboard with you to make sure all your devices get charged overnight! Check out https://www.power-plugs-sockets.com/nz/hawaii/ for more information

Make sure you take Panadol, Imodium and Telfast with you. It’s also good to pack toilet paper or wet wipes.

Do you need to get to or from Honolulu Airport? Hawaii23 offers a fixed-rate, flat rate service.
