Oahu: a primary destination for military personnel
With around 50,000 active military personnel, Oahu is most often the destination for members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines relocating to Hawaii.
The island is home to both Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, as well as Wheeler Army Airfield, which serves as headquarters for U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii, and Schofield Barracks, the home of the 25th Infantry Division. For most military families that have moved to Hawaii, Oahu is the place they call home.
Royal Hawaiian Movers has a team dedicated to Oahu moves, and can expertly handle your relocation, ensuring your transition from the mainland or elsewhere is a seamless experience.

<p>They showed up early and immediately got to work. They accounted for all our items and safely and gently unpacked them in the desired rooms.

<p>They were so efficient, careful and professional! I'm a local girl, my husband is military and he's been through numerous moves but, Nino and his team was the best movers he had! Like true local style, we had to get these guys some breakfast bentos from Zippy's to show gratitude for moving our things with such care. I hope when we receive our household good here in Washington, I hope to have a team like Nino, Raymark and Brayden to help us with our things. Thank you guys for all your hard work!<br><strong>-Eriel V.</strong></p>

<p>I was beyond impressed with Royal Hawaiian Movers and the exceptional job they did with our delivery/unpack. Communication prior to the delivery day was wonderful and the crew was on time, courteous, and efficient. They were careful with our things and asked where I would like items placed. Before they left, they made sure there wasn't anything else I needed and made sure nothing was damaged. During a time of PCS stress, Royal Hawaiian Movers was a beautiful breath of fresh air! I would highly recommend them to anyone.<br><strong>-Sarah Grabill</strong></p>

<p>From the first phone call for an estimate to the last handshake, our moving experience from O'ahu to Big Island was a positive experience. We don't own a lot of expensive stuff, but the movers treated everything like it was fragile treasure. Layers of communication, efficiency, punctuality, kindness, respect, and professionalism were greatly appreciated. Our move was virtually stressless!<br><strong>-Nancy Campbell</strong></p>

<p>I recently relocated from Germany to Oahu and entrusted Royal Hawaiian Movers with the daunting task of transporting my 10,000 pounds of household furniture to my new home. I am thrilled to say that they exceeded my expectations in every way possible, and I wholeheartedly give them a well-deserved five-star rating!<br>From the moment they arrived, the Royal Hawaiian Movers team impressed me with their friendliness and professionalism. They genuinely cared about ensuring my satisfaction and repeatedly asked for guidance on where items needed to be placed or moved. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly stood out.<br><strong>-Coleman Skillingstad</strong></p>

<p>If I could give more than 5 stars I would. From the first contact, the phone call to arrange delivery to the delivery itself, Royal Hawaiian could not have been more friendly or more accommodating. When our schedule did not allow a planned two day delivery, our contact at Royal Hawaiian checked with her manager and arranged for 5 people to be assigned to get the unpacking done in one day. The crew we had was so friendly and helpful. Who hugs their movers when they are done and ready to leave. From placing furniture where WE wanted it to piling boxes in the garage for us to go through at our leisure, every request was met with a smile and 'an of course we can do that.' For anyone moving from the mainland, we would recommend having Royal Hawaiian be part of your delivery team at this end of your journey.<br>-Jack H.</p>

The weather, the culture, the costs: what military members can expect in a move to Hawaii
The bright side is that your PCS is to an island paradise, but even a move to paradise has preparatory steps you should take, and facts you should know beforehand.
The weather: Yes, it’s warm. Yes, it’s wet. But did you know that it also snows in the mountaintops? And each island is different, so before you move to Oahu, Kauai, Maui, the Big Island, or wherever your PCS may be, research the local weather and ensure you and your family are prepared. Rule of thumb for Hawaiian weather: if you don’t like it, wait a minute.
The culture: While you may spend most of your time surrounded by fellow military personnel, Hawaii has much to offer our men and women in uniform, as well as their children: island living means surfing, fresh seafood, and so much more. Geographical wonders abound, such as Volcano Park on the Big Island, the sands of Waikiki Beach on Oahu, and the breathtaking canyons on Kauai.
The costs: While COLA and BAH will help balance costs, there’s no sugar coating the fact that it’s a little more expensive to live in Hawaii. The key is to live more like the locals do. For example, instead of doing the bulk of your shopping at supermarkets, choose farm stands and local markets in your area. You’ll find that food is not only less expensive, but more fresh — a classic win-win scenario.
You simply won’t find a better team for moving military personnel to Hawaii. Not only will our global moving experience make your move seamless, but our understanding of local customs will empower you and your family with all you need to make the most of your time in Hawaii.
