You would be hard-pressed to find many people who don't want to move to an island paradise. If you’re moving to Hawaii, get ready for a life of relaxation and spectacular scenery. Hawaii is known for a laid-back lifestyle, beautiful scenery, and endless opportunities for fun. Here’s even more reasons why you’ll enjoy living in Hawaii, along with some information about Hawaii moving companies.
The state of Hawaii is made up of 6 major islands, each with their own nickname:
It will be hard to decide which island you should choose to move to, as they are all great for different reasons. Once you choose an island to live on, you can visit the other islands to explore all that Hawaii has to offer.
With summer highs in the upper 80s during the day and mid-70s at night, you’ll never want to go anywhere else. Hawaii is known for two seasons: the dry season from May to October, and the wet season from November to April. Although snow is not associated with the tropical climate, you will see it on the mountains of the Big Island during the winter months. Locals like to drive to the top of the mountain to play in the snow, then go swim at the beach after building a snowman. The Hawaii weather provides you with year-round fun in the sun!
Native Hawaiians are some of the friendliest people you’ll meet. They take pride in their state and will welcome you with open arms. Locals call themselves Kama'aina (ka-ma-eye-nah) which means someone who has lived in Hawaii a long time. As a newcomer, you will be a malihini (mal-li-hee-knee).You'll hear the local language spoken around the islands. The Hawaiian alphabet only has 12 letters (7 consonants and 5 vowels- H, K, L, M, N, P, W, A, E, I, O and U). A Hawaiian pocket dictionary might be a good purchase so you can decipher the local speak.
Life in Hawaii is slow, and locals like it that way. A dentist appointment might be made in a month. Getting a contractor to come out to your house to give you an estimate might take 2 days. You’ll learn to drive slower, too. Many residents of the state love to cruise the coastline at 35 mpg just to enjoy the beautiful views. Island life just runs on a different time!
When you’re tired of lying out in the sun, get into the water! Water sports are a big part of Hawaiian culture. You can enjoy windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, and scuba diving! There’s so much to do in the water, you’ll want to be there every day! If you prefer the mountains, many of the islands offer hiking on mountain tops as well. If shopping is more your thing, Oahu and Maui have quite the shopping districts.

Customer Reviews
I had to book at the last minute and U-Pack is the only one that has an available container for me at a reasonable price. They have such excellent customer service and never made you feel like you're a bother everytime you call them. There's always someone available to answer any questions. The container arrived on time and all my household items are intact. This is the first I have moved from coast to coast and I recommend U-Pack, should anyone need any household items transported. I am very satisfied with the service. Thank you U-Pack!
Two trailers and one medium rental truck is so much better than 4 or more rental truck trips. I would have driven for four days straight for over 1800 miles in addition to loading and unloading. With U-Pack, Old Dominion parked a semi trailer in my driveway(The driver did such a wonderful job of maneuvering the trailer into just the right position), and we loaded it in two days. Another trailer was parked in the same place on the driveway. While we spent two days packing the second trailer, the ... See Morefirst was already on it's way to Idaho. We left for our new home on Sunday, driving a full day in the rental truck. Monday, we unloaded that smaller truck, and the next day, the first trailer arrived for unloading. When we finished the job the next morning, the second trailer arrived, and we unloaded it. The good news: we spent so much less time driving, The bad news: we had all that added time to unload (actually good news also).
U-Pack's customer service was phenomenal. They worked with us through the uncertainty of a closing date on our house. We moved across the country and they stored our stuff for us, but when I realized we would go over the month mark by a week I called them and they were so great about giving us the extra week without extra charge! They were ALWAYS helpful and nice and I really appreciate how good they were to us. I HIGHLY recommend U-Pack!!
