Curious! How is Hawaii keeping track of who is in ‘quarantine’ if not taking the covid test? How do you keep track of everyone?
Please, I’m 71 years old. The information I read above is confusing to me. I have family from Missouri coming hopefully in Summer. I will need also to travel inter island at that time. I need help getting a vaccination ASAP. Also, would appreciate knowing what my family will need before coming to Hawaii this summer?
Sincerely,
Katherine O (Kitty)
Hi Kitty.
It is safe to say that it is just too early to know what rules will be in effect for this summer. We’ll keep updating this information as we learn more.
Aloha.
Thank you for all of the great information! We are trying to travel to Kauai from oklahoma in Feb. our flights to Kauai have been rearranged multiple times. In the travel requirements for Kauai they state your negative covid test should be 72 hours from the start of the last leg of your trip. We go from Phoenix to Honolulu and have a 3 hour layover before leaving for Kauai. My question is do we get test within 72 hours of leaving Phoenix or 72 hours from leaving Honolulu?
Thank you!
Hi Joy.
Which option are you planning for on arrival to Kauai? Let us know, as that determines the requirements. Overview of the rules statewide are here: https://beatofhawaii.com/ultimate-guide-to-hawaii-travel-during-covid/.
Aloha.
We are hoping to come to Honolulu in October after cancelling twice due to the pandemic.
After we get the covid19 vaccine
I hope that we can avoid the 10 day quarantine and avoid the pre travel testing program too after getting the covid19! vaccine
Thank
You
Thank you for the update. My wife and I will have our second vaccine doses by the end of February. We have a trip planned for April and hope we can finally come to Hawaii after twice postponing it due to Covid. We’d be comfortable with the vaccine passport concept but if we still need to do the 72 hour test gamble I think we’ll just give up on the idea. I look forward to seeing if the state legislature takes a more pragmatic approach. I’ll keep an eye out for your updates. Thank.
You know there are about 8000 other infectious diseases out there, so they better not let anyone back on island again just in case one person catches something in Hawaii. That will be just dandy for the economy.
Looks like the panic mongers will never let this go. It is not the natural state of man to live in constant panic, but Hawaii seems to have achieved this goal for its residents for the last year. It is exhausting and, quite frankly, just boring. Where has creative thinking and problem solving mentality gone? Was it ever there? Nope, just wait for your government to tell you what to do cause you cannot possibly think things through for yourselves anymore. Sad, sad. Seems the newest invasive species in Hawaii are lemmings.
Listen to the science? Code phrase for the inept to use. Let’s see, what sciences there are?
Economics, Social, Business, Statistical, Medical, etc. Sounds like the only science that is being used is the ONE that provides an excuse to ignore all the others. Which one? We will find out the from the next Excuse of the Day. Oh, I forgot political science. That’s the answer to the problem or the problem to the answer.
If you read between the lines it appears pre travel testing (and all its not so good variables) will continue forever despite the fact that far reaching vaccinations and related herd immunity should be reached later in 2021. As I have said all along, I am not willing to bet big pre-paid travel dollars on a perfectly timed “test.” I have given up on Hawaii 2021…wondering if Hawaii 2022 is even feasible considering the trajectory of these Hawaiian state policies?
Good morning – is there any word about Hawaiian Airlines and any travel restrictions? You often mention Alaska, Jet Blue, etc. but never a word about Hawaiian. Seems like they should be at the forefront of planning! Mahalo for all your work!
Hi Karen.
Not sure what exactly you’re asking about. We mention Hawaiian probably more frequently than any other airline since they are Hawaii’s bellwether. Let us know if there is something specific you are looking for.
Aloha.
Thanks guys for keeping us uptodate. It is greatly appreciated. I, like many others here, have much hope in regard to “vaccination passport” travel to Hawaii. The card one receives when you get your covid shot is nothing more than a “reminder” to get the second shot (moderna) and gives the vaccine batch number and date. It is not in anyway an official document. Any official recognition that one has been vaccinated must come from your local/state health departments.
I suggest stongly that everyone ask at the time you get your shots to ask how one goes about getting an official document regarding your vaccination. You will need this later as “proof”. For now, save the card as it is the only proof of vaccination but it will not be able to be used for travel to Hawaii. The possibility of obtaining a “vaccination passport” that is acceptable is very likely a long way off.
Hi Mike.
Thanks for your input on this and your other comments.
Aloha.
