If I am quarantined when I arrive in Maui for what ever rule or reason. How do I get from airport to my hotel if I cà nt rent a car
thanks for the post. very informative. i am looking for a little clarification on the testing timeline. if i am leaving dallas at 11am, arriving maui at 2pm maui time, and then transferring to lanai on a 4pm flight….my assumption is that the 72 hour window for test is based on when i leave dallas since that is the last city prior to arriving in hawaii. do i have that correct?
Hi John.
Thanks. Yes, that is correct.
Aloha.
Hello my name is Rod from San Diego California. I’m suppose to visit Hawaii in Nov. but I’m finding it very difficult to get the Naat test. My doctor won’t administer me a Covid test unless I have symptoms of Covid. The state of CA don’t give NAAt test. There are laboritories but they require a doctors order.What am I to do?
I am concerned that the residents of Hawaii are being forgotten. Many of us living on an outer island need to commute once a month between Oahu for work and personal reasons. We need a way to safely solve this problem for residents. Since the Governor is worried about using up all the test kits for tourists wanting to visit other Islands, maybe they should first allow local residents with a local ID to have the opportunity to test on Oahu before travel to Kauai, Big Island or Maui. There are plenty of tests to serve our State population currently. This will allow a safe transition for residents who do need to travel interisland and will pave a way back to normalcy so the travel needs of our Island residents can be addressed instead of being put on the back burner while the needs of tourists seem to be given priority.
We have been scheduled to fly onOctober 14th for 9 months. When Hawaii announced October 15th, we were able to change to the 15th for our flight on United from LAX non stop to Maui. Does anyone know if CVS or Walgreens will be able to test starting on Oct 12th or 13th for that 15th arrival??? Thanks
Hi Dennis.
From what the Lt. Gov said today it would appear to be the case. Awaiting more news.
Aloha.
I am Canadian and home owner on Maui is there plans for a pre travel covid test for us to avoid the 14 day Quarantine?
Hi, I am Canadian, too and spent the last 2 weeks talking to Dep. of Transportation and Health. As of today, they will not accept a Test from Canada, even though our tests , NAAT, are the same as the ones authorized by the FDA and “probably handled by a CLIA certified lab. To my surprise they said no. And this is the case for any international visitors. Maybe they change their mind later, but being not able to handle the present mess, I doubt it. Best is to fly with United to SFO, do the Test there, and continue to whichever Island you want to go.
Aloha and Mahalo for all your communications. Like many others we have been following the info and updates for many months now. Like many, we are weighing all travel considerations both for the safety of the Hawaiian community as well as ours. As a couple, both of us have Alaska Airlines companion fare accounts as well as their credit card. We have traveled to Kona the past 6 years via San Jose, CA (SJC), direct. Currently, there are no direct flights til November 1 and have heard that Alaska may change and route travel via a different city. Even if we purchase direct flights for November, there is a concern that the flights may not be re-routed. If this occurs, and we chose not to accept that option, we would have financial losses to lodging which may be impacted. What do you hear regarding Alaska Airlines travel?
Hi Maggie.
We will have an update coming within minutes on Alaska Air’s plans.
Aloha.
Aloha, can you please reference where you found the 5yrs and under do not need to be tested? I work in hospitality and have been trying to find the answer to this question for my employer for quite some time. I would love to be able to show them where it’s been referenced. Thank you!
Hi Carrie.
That was a statement made by Josh Green.
Aloha.
What about people that have tested positive and recovered? It states on the CDC website that those folks could test positive for three months, elsewhere online says maybe longer. It is discriminatory to force a person with supposed immunity (up to two years) to quarantine.
One other point. These tests are set up to detect viral rna, dead or alive, not as the Governor stated that they test for an active infection…
I’m wondering this too. Both my husband and I have recovered from the virus and have tested positive for the antibodies. I think we might be the safest people to be around! Seriously, I wish I could get a straight answer on this. I miss Hawaii!
Is a PCR test could to go to get in Hawaii without quarantine. FDA approved?
