We (family w/ small kids and stroller) ran from our DL gate to the interisland gates for our OGG flight, and made it with probably 15 minutes to spare. It's a haul, but doable if bags are checked through.

Also, we had no problem interlining our bags in OGG back to the mainland, preventing us from having to leave security in HNL and get our bags and recheck them. Saved a ton of time.
