  1. Aloha!

    Wait, so no test needed to inter-island or we still need to test but that’ll waive the quarantine?

    Mahalo!

    1. Hi Brandon.

      Interisland quarantine will be waived with testing. The governor did say there will be an update coming up on that.

      Aloha.

  2. This whole report is very confusing! First, they mention a free on arrival test. But, then mention the following:

    Airport screeners will scan and verify passenger’s information including their test results, after which travelers are free to leave the airport. He suggested that test results be on your phone or printed.

    1. You must have a negative COVID test result upon arrival that was taken within 72 hrs of departure from the arriving Hawaii flight. Both Maui and Kauai are wanting to have a 2nd after arrival test taken after you have been on the island for 72 hrs and this test will be free. Inter island testing will be permitted under the same 72 hr negative COVID test. Not sure how travelers in Hawaii can get a COVID test there to travel inter island

  3. Mahalo for the timely info, it does look more encouraging. When using the partner websites you need to look them over carefully as to get them to work properly.
    Mahalo Guys

    1. Hi Roy.

      Thanks. It is still pretty confusing but things appear to be moving, all in a somewhat uniform direction.

      Aloha

  4. Aloha
    Hmm, so no test result in hand on arrival means stay in the airport till you get it for each member.
    Some hotels don’t allow quarantine stay , read most, and TVR ‘s haven’t been cleared to quarantine stays.
    This is going to get messy.
    When I did my quarantine in August that where to stay problem was there as described above. I see
    No information to show it’s changed.
    What a bottleneck

    1. Hi Marshall.

      Yes, good points. And the airports aren’t really set up as holding facilities so not sure about that either.

      Aloha.

  5. If you come to the Big Island, don’t get upset when restrooms are closed for Customer use at shopping centers, restaurants offering takeout only, and gas stations on the Kona side. The residents have realized this already since March and have adapted. Tourists will struggle with it. Beach parks, Costco, Walmart, Target, and Safeway have restrooms available for their customers but… that’s pretty much about it. Tourists will learn quickly the lack of restrooms available when they’re out and about. With the COVID clusters on the Big Island, businesses take it seriously.

    1. Very sad what their you’re doing to the Hawaii economy. The hotels, restaurants and businesses can’t afford this. It won’t be beautiful anymore when everything is boarded up and homeless are everywhere. Sorry, but the people making these decisions are idiots and should be voted out!

      1. Poor little Marie is inconvenienced from her vacation. Yall bitched about Governor IGE when he wouldnt open up and now that he is your bitching about that too. My suggestion is just stay away for awhile. People with your attitude are not going to be very welcomed there.

  6. Would someone please clarify if the Safe Travels App is a requirement for travel to Hawaii? Does it have a GPS tracking feature? What is it’s purpose? Mahalo.

    1. Hi Jane.

      That’s the portal used to avoid quarantine, upload your test, provide health screen details, etc. We don’t know if it has a GPS feature. If you want to not use it, you will need to check with the state as we haven’t heard anything about that.

      Aloha.

    2. Canadians cannot travel to Hawaii without quarantine because there are no “trusted partners” for testing in Canada, correct?

      1. Hi Yuri.

        You can use a mail in test or stop en route for a US based test. There should also be news for Canadian visitors upcoming.

        Aloha.

  7. Hawaiian Air still says “Check back for more information” in the area where it shows LAX/SFO Covid drive thru testing information….NOTHING shown about CVS DRUGS…I am totally confused…..

  8. Aloha! Can you clarify the wording “within 24 hours before arriving?” concerning the safe travels app? Does that mean no later than 24 hours before your arrival or no sooner?

      1. Hi Jon.

        The state’s website says “You will be required to upload your negative pre-travel test result and answer a health questionnaire 24 hours prior to your departure.” So our read is that it needs to be there 24 hours in advance, although honestly that doesn’t make sense with the tight timing. Other things have said once the negative test result is uploaded, you are clear. Sorry to not have more information yet.

        Aloha.

        1. Yes ideally it is in advance, and then you upload it to the safe travels site and they send you your QR code. Like the ticket to admission. but if you don’t have the result back and you get on the plane and land and then your results show up you can upload them when you land. Otherwise you are in Quarantine purgatory until your results comeback.

  9. Many traverlers will be arriving without the tests being completed yet so not sure what hotels you can go to for a day or two until the test results comeback. VS says they are now taking up to 5-days to get their test back due to demand

    1. This is bs!!!! I know owner of hotel in Waikiki and she is freaking out. I don’t know if she is lying still!! No one knows they r so afraid most think democrats will help!!!! Sick stoneage culture
