Let‘s say you just picked up a new job and are moving to Honolulu, Hawaii, but you live all the way in Salt Lake City, Utah. How do you make the transition? I mean, it’s not like you can just load up your car and drive there. So, how does one move to Hawaii?
How to Move to Hawaii:
You have a few options for getting to Hawaii. Which one is right for you depends on how much time and money you have.
- Hire a Hawaiian Moving Company – Hawaii movers specialize in getting you from the continental US to Hawaii. Check out MovingGuru’s Hawaii moving companies, or run an Internet search.
- Fly – You will probably fly to get to Hawaii (faster than boating). However, this does not mean you can’t pull a DIY move! If you sell most of your stuff, you can check the remainder (and perhaps ship a few things through mail services). This is possible, because many places in Hawaii come furnished.
- Swim – Not recommended.
- Boat – If you own a boat, or if you can find a ferry/shipping service, you might be able to boat to your Hawaiian home. Boats are definitely needed with respect to bringing a car.
When moving to Hawaii, less is more. There’s not much space on the various islands, making driving a nightmare, parking also a nightmare, and having extra stuff expensive. Pack light and come to the islands expecting to get much of what you need here.
