Hawaii-bound travelers for later in 2020 and beyond increasingly frustrated and in need of answers.

We in Hawaii have the most inept governor in the entire country. Either he really doesn’t care about people’s well-being, ie., having an income to pay for essentials such as electricity and food, or he has some evil plan to cause a large portion of the population to leave the State. His actions and words make it really difficult to believe that he has any common sense left.
We have November reservations for a timeshare in Princeville, and are waiting to see what stipulations are in effect. We live in Southern California and look forward to yearly visits to Kaua’i. We experienced the Maui shelter in place on March 26 and don’t want a repeat. Thank you for all your updates.
Hi Lee.
Thanks. We look forward to have definitive information very soon.
Aloha.
Aloha, Why do you want to start with China? That’s where it came from for the first place. In California the last month they have had suicides amount for one year. There are going to be more deaths after the vi rus because of depression. People can only handle so much without a job the Economy going bad.
Please open up and having the testing done before the flight. Hawaii can’t handle being closed down for 2 more months. Let’s all get back to life!!! If your sick stay HOME! There are sunny Days ahead!!!

We were disappointed we had to cancel our anniversary trip in April. We were planning to reschedule for October 2020 but have been holding off to see what Hawaii is going to do with reopening. We’d love to come to Hawaii and help your economy but based on the lack of information we will continue to wait and see what happens before making any definitive plans. Perhaps we can come back next April for a post-milestone celebration. In the meantime I think we’ll be looking to spend our money closer to home….California and Oregon. I just want to get back to the ocean and at this point the West Coast is looking like a much better option for us.
Thanks so much for all your informative articles and up-to-date information! We heard about your website from the Travel Guys Radio Show in Sacramento.
Hi Kim.
Thank you. Yes we’ve done the Travel Guys radio show and hope to again.
Aloha.
Do you know how insulting it is to hear politician Josh Green, “MD”, say that Japanese and New Zealanders should be allowed in Hawaii BEFORE fellow Americans?
I want to come home but refuse to be a prisoner in my house for 14 days, watched like a hawk, and forced to check in with the state on a daily basis (hasn’t anyone sued over this repression?)
Is it possible that returning residents could show a negative C0VID test or a positive antibody test and thus avoid the house arrest?
Thanks for your updates and forum.
Hi Mike.
Thanks.
Aloha.
New Zealand has 21 active cases while the USA has 115,527. I’d much rather the state let people in unencumbered by quar antine who arrive from countries that obviously have a handle on the situation and aren’t full of people protesting public health precautions.
I depend on the travel industry for my income as do many here, but until the mainland gets things under control I’d be nervous as hell dealing with mainlanders right now.
We need rapid testing at all departure gates.
Its unamerican and unacceptable though. Hawaii usa would become hawaii china without us intervening most likely.
How much harder does hawaii want to push the evelope and burn thier tourism relations with the continental US?
If you have noticed the decisions made by mainland state Governors, especially in the South; if you read the reports and saw the pictures of Spring Break and Memorial Day bacchanalia at the beaches and lakes, and you live in a vulnerable location like Hawaii, you might think beyond your frustration. Please give a reason, other than longing to visit why Hawaii, should allow another invasive species open reign. I would rather see a combination of smarter decisions on the mainland, adherence to social distancing and masks, and some form of testing and monitoring of visitors before assuming that the vi rus spread is under control. Hawaii will still be here and safe when more rational decisions rule the day.
There should be lawsuits over the constitutional rights obstruction hawaii has brazenly taken part in. It is very much like a rogue or shadow government there right now. Right to life liberty and property are primary civil rights being obstructed in hawaii.
Not only that, but by allowing other countries to visit first? Taking criminal actions against the peace and dignity of the United states by sealing borders to Americans and causing panic and chaos with peoples lives and the island stste ecomomy?
Sounds like what happened in the civil war with the north and south.
I think that writing emails and letters to the attorney general and the state governer of hawaii might help. If i find more info i will share. Aloha and Mahalo, the saddest year in Hawaii state history.
Don’t get your feelings hurt. It’s about the low number of C0vid cases in those countries and forming a “travel bubble” with Australia and New Zealand, or South Korea and Japan. Nothing to do with trying to stick it to our fellow Americans. Just wait and you’ll get your turn…or not. There are a lot of conscientious, understanding visitors on this site who “get” the situation and we will be happy to have them back. Others who complain and whine because they can’t get their beach fix, not so much. In fact, those that take that attitude and cannot wrap their heads around the reasoning are the exact types that spoil things for everyone.
Thank you for keeping us updated! We were scheduled for early June but have rescheduled (to Kauai) for early October. It’s challenging to coordinate dates with 10 people! I pray we are able to go. I also pray for the health and wellness of all.
Hi Kendra.
Thank you.
Aloha.
Mahalo to “Beat of Hawaii” for your great updates!
Hi Curtis.
Thanks for your nice words and all of your comments. Much appreciated.
Aloha.
We have plans to go to Maui mid July. We’re waiting to see (just like everyone else) what is going to happen with Hawaii’s government. Hope springs eternal!!
Yes, I am planning to wait a while to return to the islands.
It seems uncertain about getting there and doing activities upon arrival.
It also seems like the Aloha is on hold for a while.
The Hawai’i government and people have to step forward to make a comprehensive plan to open for visiting with true Aloha.
I hope to return when this plan is implemented.
I respect and admire the Hawaiian people and culture.
They will find a way.
We have a trip planned beginning to middle of July. But we are in limbo waiting to hear what the governor has to say. Not getting our hopes up.
We Love our 2 weeks every year on Hawaii. Had to cancel our May dates and moved to September. We are thinking that we must move our reservations to next May. Hoping that Hawaii will be up and running by then. Praying for the whole state to heal from this aweful virus! Mahalo!
Hi Sharon.
Thanks.
Aloha.
