Aloha! I was hoping you were going to address the vaccine soon. And you did! I will be fully vaccinated by mid-March, and hoping to keep my travel dates to Kauai in late May. I still have concerns, which will keep me from making my air travel reservations (using my Hawaiian credit) and possibly pushing my dates out again. I know things can change quickly on this front, so will remain patient. Please keep doing all that you do! Mahalo!
Hi Katie.
Thank you. Yes, hopefully, it will get implemented in time for your late-May vacation. Seems like we are due for some good news.
Aloha.
I would think that the state of Hawaii, would want to have a good many of its citizens vaccinated against covid before, truly opening up and that would include the most vulnerable first.
Aloha Guys
Hi Roy.
That makes sense. We haven’t heard the two concepts discussed together by the state – opening tourism more and where Hawaii is in its vaccination process.
Aloha.
Faci has said, once you get about 80% of your population vaccinated that stops the virus dead in its tracks. About 60% stops the spread. So think about it, if most people in Hawaii are vaccinated, than they are protected from the virus. I know that Lt. Gov. Green is a big follower of Faci and that’s how vaccines have worked in the past. Now, getting everyone vaccinated is the hurdle, lets hope the new administration coming in does a better job.
Aloha
THIS may be the answer! Vaccinate everyone on the islands… Then, they can rest easy. 😉
The medical experts have said if you can’t get it you can’t give it. Geez. And next I’ve will want Ankle straps w vaccine dates
Hi Folks,
It looks more and more like state government is bound and determined to quash tourism in Hawaii once and for all. So sad!
The state legislature will get involved. That brings to mind the old saying about ‘too many cooks spoiling the stew’…evidently daily rule changes are not enough, so we will see if they can manage twice daily rule changes..if I sound cynical, its because I am. The Hawaiian rule changes for residents and travelers alike have had more plot twists than a soap opera. Our group of 6 has officially written Hawaii off for vacation for all of 2021. Sorry we truly are, and we sorely miss the wonderful people, the “aloha” and the ambience that has made Hawaii our favorite….sigh…keeping our collective fingers crossed for 2022…
Its just the hawaii govt needs to do what Florida is doing as to opening june 1 and getting thier act together, getting people back into housing and off the damn streets.
Getting people back to work is also critical, as is the tourism. Mandates and saving a few lives really is secondary in the big picture.
If your old or sick or at risk it’s important to stay home and not rely on masks or mandates. Common sense in hawaii would go a long way in restoring a sense of aloha and curbing the anti American sentiments on the islands. What was latent hatred of America Americans and tourists is now active and out in the open. Its ugly and its real.
What does “the spring” mean in Hawaii? March? May?
Plain and simple please. For Kauai only if you had both your vaccines. Do you still have to do the 3 day quarantine? Don’t want to get there quarantine for 3 days and paying for a condo those days to. Traveling in March
Hi Karen.
That isn’t known at this time. So it would be safest to assume the rules will still be as they are today and as stated here: https://beatofhawaii.com/ultimate-guide-to-hawaii-travel-during-covid/
Aloha.
Currently, upon arrival on Kauai you ARE required to quarantine at a resort “bubble” location for 3 days minimum before being released after obtaining a negative Covid test. This is regardless of if you have been vaccinated or not.
Honestly, I don’t even read these anymore. I have visited Hawaii at least 80 times, often for months at a time. And your policy initiatives and implementation have been so incoherent I assume whatever is announced will be rescinded within days, or delayed or only apply to a specific island or cancelled altogether. I have NO plans to visit Hawaii soon. As much as I love Hawaii and respect the host culture, the local population needs to have the opportunity to diversify the economy without the pressure of tourist demands. AND the political decision making needs to be more coherent and carefully thought out with the safety of everyone in mind before I would trust the decisions. Malama Pono
Aloha,
It seems like there are daily changes to what Hawaii will or will not accept for visitors. I
really do understand that the vaccine may not prevent someone from transmitting the virus, but really, IF the state of Hawaii wants to allow visitors, they need to decide what the rules are going to be, make them the same across all islands and the STICK TO THEM unless something new and untoward comes up that advises otherwise. People simply cannot make plans with the daily rule changes. I got notified that my whole household is in line to get vaccinated next. I am looking forward to being a little more free in the next few months. But I need to know what, exactly, the rules ARE before I go anywhere, AND that they won’t change on me on a moments notice.
Mahalo,
Eve
