We have arranged to fly to Maui Feb 1 for 3 days, get tested there by Doctors on Demand, then fly to Kauai Feb 4 to stay in our own condo. Is this still possible, or should just stay on Maui?
Please keep this chain updated with anything you hear from your friend! I have a wedding booked in Kauai for July 17th and praying that the 3 day rule will be lifted by then! It’s already a lot to ask people to come to a destination wedding, let alone also asking them to pay for an extra 3 days of wait time. We have until April 1 to decide whether to push it out more into the fall – so all info is so appreciated!! Kauai is so special to my fiancé and I – we’ve been coming there for 10 years and it has been my dream to have my wedding there and share it with my family & friends. I hope I still can.
Why would anyone want to quarantine themselves or put their families in direct proximity of multiple travelers in the next room or down the hall from places with very serious Covid infection/hospitalization rates? Covid tests/results do not make a person Covid bulletproof as a carrier. Being forced by Kauai/Hawaii government to house in Bubble properties with unknown people from unknown places under penalty of fines and jail as a pre-condition for a few days/weeks of vacation on Kauai is off-putting at the least and close to criminal in reality.
thanks for the info. Is there any relaxation of the rules for those who have received the vaccination!

Hi Robert.
Rules for those who have been vaccinated will be announced soon. We’re awaiting that.
Aloha.
It’s amazing, almost all current cases of coronavirus on Kauai are residents returning from traveling. I have heard of residents that knowing they have the virus and still board a plane, but the people traveling who are conscientious, and do the right thing are considered dangerous. I think it is just the opposite. I have been coming to the Islands for 25 years and consider ourselves O’hana. I am also realistic and I can guarantee, with out the help of the Federal government Hawaii would now be starving. Wake up we are all in this together and with all of us doing the right things we will persevere! I’ll be 69 in March and will be arriving on March 1st. Hope to see everyone soon! Aloha
Had a trip planned, went somewhere else, will probably never go to Hawaii, until you figure it out
Not only do visitors have to pay for the hotel quarantine, for a family of 6, the mobile test clinic come to the hotel to test on day 3 which cost another $1K. That’s in addition to the pre-test costs before landing in Kauai and bubble hotel costs.
Why not let visitors quarantine in their rental units or hotel of choice? Also, why the 2nd test?
It’s too expensive and inconvenient when people have limited vacations and families. In addition, residents can’t have guests visit since no one wants to quarantine at someone’s house for 10 days.
Don’t these people get it? As a visitor I’m not paying for a test, spend there nights doing nothing for the opportunity to spend my money in your state! AND pray you don’t shut everything down while I am there. I’ve already paid a plane fare, rental car, lodging and for food…. Get real, they must think we are stupid. Even with Covid under control I will think hard about coming back… Hawaii isn’t the only vacation game in town…. Certifiably not the cheapest.
We feel the same way, coming all the way from the East Coast and having to pay extra to do nothing in an expensive hotel when we have our condo on the North Shore paid for? And how would we get there from Ligue without a rental car? We love the islands, Kaua’i in particular but not enough to endure this. We will travel elsewhere, like the USVI.
Having to quarantine is nonsense when traveling to Hawaii. Some of my customers are only traveling for 4 days. If they test negative prior to flying in and at their arrival they should be able to go as they please when they get there. No one is going to go there to vacation if they have to quarantine. Thanks, Kim B., travel agent.
I would be visiting my daughter, who lives there, AND I have had the vaccine. Do you know if I could bypass the quarantine hotels if I have proof that I received the vaccine?
