  1. On Tuesday Aug 2 I had a Covid19 PCR test in Los Angeles County and had online results in 12 hours (negative). That quick turn-around, at least, is encouraging w respect to visiting Hawaii. I used satellite UCLA family health center. Your mileage may vary.

  2. Hiking trails, out in fresh air where it’s easy to distance, but museums, open where crowds can gather inside??? THAT doesn’t make sense at all.

  3. Thanks for the info…my wife and i are scheduled for a month from 9/25 tp 10/24 at waiohi on Kauai…i appreciate any info you can send regarding same.

  4. So sorry for the small business owners and their establishments I visit annually excluding this year. I am sure as we say in the South “ thru will belly up.” Thanks to the Governor.

  5. Looking less and less likely that i will be visiting in January. I have until mid October to cancel with no penalty..but with so much uncertainty And anti tourist sentiment I think i will go elsewhere.

  6. So why are the airlines still selling tickets from here the west coast to Hawaii ??? Just to get our money then we are stuck

      Cash flow! Anyone that has owned a business knows that cash flow is more important then profits.

      The airlines are playing a Ponsi scheme they are taking your ticket money to pay bills if your flight is canceled they try and stick you with a worthless voucher. Then restrict how you can use the travel voucher.

      Hopefully you are not one who gets caught with a worthless voucher if your airline goes bankrupt.

      In the corporate world it’s called “Good Business”.

  7. Aloha, I have a Hypothetical question: Please tell me how many fatalities have actually been traced to Tourist? External Blame for an internal problem, and the decimation of the economy continues! How truly sad, and there are many tourist who will NEVER return. There is no Aloha in destroying any human beings business, lively hood, and self esteem through an unfounded cratering of an entire industry! If the Governor is really serious about stopping the virus, lock EVERYONE DOWN, shut down EVERY industry, and apply all rules universally! Pitiful, truly pitiful! My heart aches for the lovely people of Hawaii who are ignorant of the pernicious evil that is being foisted on them.

    1. Every fatality can be traced back to somebody coming to the Islands for elsewhere unless you subscribe to the idea that virus originated in Hawaii.

      1. HAL M you are correct. but that’s also true for California, New York, Texas or any person that has contracted the virus outside of Wuhan China.

    2. You are right. I have Samoan family in the Big Island. I love them dearly but I watch there videos etc. no one is wearing mask. Even when they are out and about.

      1. Aloha Nancy,

        There have been no deaths at all, on the Big Island, only 123 cases county wide since the beginning, and I believe there have been only a couple New cases recently, after checking the Big Island Now Covid page (linked below). Hawaii County has never been problem at all. and with around 200k people, it has roughly a .06% infection rate…that’s a 99.94% probability that you won’t even catch the cooties/virus, let alone die!

  8. What a surprise that Hawaii Refuses to pull itself together. Im sure all the intelligent tourists that made plans a year in advance To visit hawaii will be even more thrilled now as thier plans are dashed for the rest of the year and beyond.

    Covid 19 hotline? How about 1800 no aloha. Vote out your lame duck officials. Give it a rest in the hawaiian gestapo police patrol which clearly aims to harass and fine tourists.

    Take a hint from California and other democratic states. Treat all people fairly in hawaii and quit it with the anti American bs! Get off your butt and do something!! Enough is enough, hawaiians are the problem not the covid. They never can get things moving or follow through on anything – i should know i lived there for several years. Its a disaster in the making. Really sad

  9. I wish people would just go to the beach and stop these extended family gatherings,Ban Tents.We do not want a beach ban again.

    1. I’m really confused…. I have ticket to come home to Hilo end of month, of course it connects in Honolulu since no o stop to Hilo, is transit through Honolulu considered interisland???

      1. Aloha Hmar,

        The issue being discussed in this article’s thread is travel between islands, irregardless of where you travel from. An Inter-island transfer is the same as any inter-island flight. Previously, travel between the islands was allowed without a 14 day quarantine (from back in June). Travelling from the Mainland has not changed, so you will have to do a 14 day quarantine at your final destination, coming from the mainland. At least until September 1st, and that will probably be extended.
