It takes a little over 24 hours.
It takes a little over 24 hours to drive from Australia to Hawaii, and it takes about the same amount of time to return.
One round trip is about five days.
One round trip from Los Angeles to Honolulu is about five days. That’s a long time, but it’s possible! You can go there in a day if you want. You could also do it over three weeks or even longer if you want to get away from everything else that’s going on in your life right now (like work).
If you’re thinking about making the trip, consider planning so that when it comes time for your flight out of LAX and onto Oahu (Hawaii), there will be no surprises: where are they keeping my bags? When do I get off? What flight takes off the following day? These all need answers before departure, so don’t forget them!
You’ll need a car with 4-wheel drive.
If you’re planning to drive in the rain, snow, or mud, your car will need a 4-wheel drive. You cannot operate in the rain and snow at the same time. You can’t even go to Hawaii if it’s raining when you leave because of flooding issues. The combination of rain and snow creates slushy roads, which are difficult for drivers with cars that need better traction capabilities (like yours).
The drive will be bumpy because of the wind, rain, and sun.
You’ll have to deal with wind, rain, and sun. These three significant factors affect your drive from Kauai to Honolulu. Wind can be brutal on the Pacific Ocean Coast, especially when driving through Waimea Canyon or along highway 19A. Rain is also an issue because it’s hard to see if there’s any traffic on the road ahead of you—especially when it’s dark out! And don’t forget about sunburns!
Having a little mishap can take a long time.
