No, US to Hawaii is the longest ETOPS route for any twin. The South Pacific is full of available airports. It's not the longest flight, just the longest "ETOPS" segment. Still no big deal. I think there are more impressive ETOPS flight, such as the Polar flights. I used to do NY to China over the North Pole area.
