I’d like to know more about what tourists can expect once we arrive . Maybe an article about this? Such as what establishments are open. Are pools open? Beach access? Restaurants? Luaus? Masks required outside? Etc. will tourists feel welcomed?
What about the residents coming home?? You never nention anything about your residents!
Your site has been the go to resource for me-ty! Would you please post a picture of the Safe Travels app? There’s if you different options in the App Store and none of them look even close to being the right one.
Hi Shannon.
Thank you. Appreciate your pointing that out. The state has been referring to it as an app for months, while, in reality, it is merely a website. We believed an app was to be forthcoming, but now it no longer appears that way. The place to go is https://travel.hawaii.gov/#/.
Aloha.
Thank you! Also, do you have any clarity about the QR code we get once we upload our test results? I have this fear that even though I’m taking the right test at the right partner testing site I’ll arrive in Hawaii and they’ll tell me it’s not the right test. So, from what I understand, prior to leaving when I upload my negative test results and they’ve issued me the QR code that means they have verified that my test is the correct version and I now can be admitted without a quarantine?
Hi Shannon.
Not wanting to take any chance of providing you incorrect information, we want to refer you back to the state to answer. Please contact the Safe Travels Service Desk (10 a.m. to 10 p.m. HST): 1-855-599-0888.
Aloha.
Besides Hawaii’s health partners, will they accept a PCR covid 19 test from a hospital if they are Clia certified?
From my understanding, the answer is “no”, which just doesn’t make any sense, but that’s been the messaging I’ve seen on beatofhawaii the last couple weeks.
What are all 17 of the approved partners that are conducting covid tests for hawaii travel?
Does time zone make a difference? My last leg is in PHX 10:30am oct 22 .. im 2hrs ahead.. so I’d have to take my test at 12:30pm Oct 19?
its 72 hours from you last leg. Not your last leg Hawaii standard time. so if your last leg is on the 22nd at 10:30, then you need a test at 10:30 on the 19th or later
Thanks so much for the update. We’ve been traveling in Europe and will be heading home to Maui. When you say, “optional second tests will be made available in 3 days on Maui” does that mean the county pays for it? Thank you!
Hi Maribeth.
Yes, that’s correct. All second tests were said to be provided at no cost to the traveler. In fact, it was mentioned that there may even be a gift card or other incentive to get people to take second tests.
Aloha.
All the airlines that have approval for their pre-test are U.S. airlines. What about all the Canadians that travel to Hawaii direct from Canada?? Are the Canadian tests going to be valid? They’re working on a plan with Japan but no mention of Canada?
Aloha,
Is it my your understanding that if I plan to fly to Kauai for a few days and then hop over to Maui for the rest of my trip, this is not possible at this time? We are still waiting on how interisland flights will be handled?
Mahalo
Hi Michael.
We are awaiting clarification on this. In yesterday’s press conference it was indicated you can do that and be tested, we assume in advance, to avoid quarantine. Where will those tests taken in Hawaii come from?
Aloha.
Yesterdays conference only referred to inter island between HNL and Kauai or Maui. Last I checked If I want to go from Maul to Kauai. I would need a whole new Covid test and since there is nowhere to get on on Maui your screwed
Hello-if I travel to Kauai from the mainland with a negative Covid test within 72 hours of travel and the county is in tier 4 on arrival, will I have to go back to the 2 week quarantine if they go to tier 2 while I’m there visiting? I’m hoping I’d just stay as is since I would be fine on arrival in the proper tier.
