Well, that depends on your definition of a "small plane".

From the closest mainland point to Honolulu you're looking at 2100 nautical miles. A Cessna 172, for example has a range of less than 600 nautical miles. That's not to say it's never been done. Small aircraft are routinely ferried to Hawaii by stripping out the interior and putting in temporary fuel tanks, this is not however something you can do routinely.

There really is no small piston aircraft with the range to make that journey routinely. Even small jets (such as the Cessna Citation Mustang or Embraer Phenom 100) do not have the range to safely fly that far.

Probably the smallest plane built for that kind of range would be somthing along the lines of a Gulfstream. Of course if you can afford 10 Million for a used Gulfstream, you can probably afford to fly first class instead.
