Helping families, businesses, and military personnel make the move to Hawaii’s “Gathering Place”
Trust Royal Hawaiian Movers for all your local moving needs: residences, offices, and more

For more than 30 years, Royal Hawaiian Movers has helped households, businesses, and the military move furniture, equipment, and more to most every city, town, street, and beachfront paradise in Hawaii’s third largest island.

How to move to Oahu, and a little bit about when
Moving to Oahu is easy: just contact us. Royal Hawaiian Movers offers a multitude of options for moving you, your family, your office equipment, your pets, and more.
If you’re moving from the mainland, we have teams there that can help (via our sister company, DeWitt Move Worldwide). If you’re moving from another island, we have teams there, too, and can even offer a “you pack it” EZ Move service from Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island.
Read MoreAnd while any time is a good time to pack-up and move to Oahu, you’ll find that spring and fall are generally a little bit easier for you in terms of both traffic (there’s usually less of it) and air travel (it typically costs less).

<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. They also removed all the packing material quickly and efficiently. I was happy with their performance and professionalism.<br><strong>-Matthew C</strong></p>

<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>Having dealt with various moving companies and their crews in the past 30 years, I can confidently say that this crew from Royal Hawaiian Movers was exceptional. They worked tirelessly for a whopping 12 hours, displaying an incredible work ethic. It was evident that they took great pride in their work and were dedicated to ensuring the safe transport and unpacking of my belongings.<br><strong>-Coleman Skillingstad</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<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>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<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>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<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>

<strong>Michael B.</strong>Royal Hawaiian Movers did an excellent job packing our household goods. They answered all my questions and when they were unsure of specific things that needed to be packed, they made sure to ask before doing anything. They were professional, quick, efficient, and organized.

What to move to Oahu: packing up the car, pets, and plants
Royal Hawaiian Movers has every step covered if you’re moving a car or any vehicle to Oahu. (Learn more about shipping vehicles to Hawaii.)
However, due to its unique ecosystem and the regulations in place to protect it, there are restrictions on certain kinds of pets and plants you may bring to Oahu (as there are across all of the Hawaiian islands). Typically, the restrictions are on invasive species, but the rules vary. We are more than happy to explain in detail. (You can contact us for more information, or learn more about invasive plants and pets from Hawaii.gov.)
Read MoreHousehold goods, however, are not invasive, and packing them up is an easy task for the pros at Royal Hawaiian Movers. Whether you’re shipping boxes and furniture to Oahu, or a vehicle, or moving office equipment or heavy machinery, we can help.

Best places to live on Oahu (we’ll get you there!)
Moving to Honolulu
If you’re moving to the Honolulu area (which includes the beaches of Waikiki), get set to enjoy some of the best shopping, dining, and living experiences Hawaii has to offer. You know what? Forget that: it’s some of the best shopping, dining, and living experiences the world has to offer.
Our local moving team will help you with your Honolulu move from start to finish, whether you’re moving to one of the capital city’s majestic high rises, or to one of its glorious beaches, we’ll take you every step of the way.
Moving to the North Shore
If you’re moving to Oahu for the surfing life, you can’t do much better than the North Shore (immortalized in movies like North Shore). The things that make the North Shore of Oahu so appealing to so many — it’s remote, with plenty of privacy — are the things that can make moving there a challenge. But with nearly four decades of Hawaiian moving experience, we can make your move to the North Shore as smooth as its glassy morning waves.
Moving to Kapolei, Makakilo, Ewa Beach (the “leeward” side)
With a large military population (and proximity to Pearl Harbor), the leeward side of Oahu offers every residential and commercial comfort you would expect on the mainland. If you’re in the military and lucked out with a PCS to Oahu, know that Royal Hawaiian Movers has been helping military members and their families relocate to Oahu for decades and we are proud to serve those who serve.
Moving to Kaneohe, Kailua, or Kaneohe Bay (the “windward” side)
One of the more picturesque places in all of Hawaii, the stunning Kaneohe Bay is only part of what the eastern, or windward, side of Oahu has to offer. If you’re moving anywhere from Kahuku to Waimanalo Beach, Royal Hawaiian Movers can do everything from packing you up to assemble furniture after you’ve moved in. No one does it better.
