Australians planning on staying in Hawaii for 90 days or less generally do not need a visa. However, you will need to obtain an electronic visa waiver before departure. Also known as an ESTA, this can be applied for online. Since it’s valid for up to five years, it’s worth applying well before your departure dates, to ensure it is approved in time. You’ll also need a passport with blank visa pages and validity for at least six months from your travel dates. For a smooth experience at immigration, bring proof of your accommodation and your ticket out of the US.

If the volcano and hiking trails of Haleakala National Park are on your itinerary, you’ll need to head to Maui, which is serviced by Kahului Airport (OGG).

For a faster and more cost-effective trip from Melbourne to Hawaii, it’s generally worth flying in and out of Honolulu. You can then book internal flights, ferries, boat rides or even helicopters to get to the other Hawaiian islands you wish to visit.

Kauai is serviced by Lihue Airport (LIH). While you will find flights from Melbourne to Lihue with airlines like United and American Airlines, these generally come with a stop in Los Angeles or San Francisco along the way.
