      Hi Hector.

      We’re all waiting for the state to tell us more about the plans for vaccination-based travel.

      Aloha.

    Please clarify for me….I am in Maui for my second week & will be flying to Kauai on Saturday 3/6/21. Do I need a Covid test from a trusted partner within 72 hrs of my 11am flight on Saturday? Does the test have to be the NAAT test that takes up to 3 days for results? Will a paper copy or iPhone copyfor the test & QR code suffice? Thank you

    Thank you, thank you for all of your reports over many months. We’re planning a trip, of course…fly from San Diego to Honolulu June 12, depart HNL June 19 for LIH, return to San Diego from LIH on July 1. The rest of our family flies roundtrip from San Diego to LIH on June 17, returning to San Diego from LIH on July 1. Sounds like as of now, we’ll all need COVID tests 72 hours before departure. Do we need a second COVID test in HNL 72 hours before flying from HNL to LIH? Thanks again for all you do in keeping us informed and staying safe!

      Hi Linda.

      Thanks. That was not specifically clarified, as we mentioned. Our assumption is that per Lt. Gov. Green’s plan, interisland will not require testing at some point quite soon. Stand by and we’ll be updating that as soon as we learn more.

      Aloha.

    Aloha! Your article states that a negative result for a COVID-19 test is required to visit the island with no restrictions, but what about fully vaccinated individuals with the vaccination card? Thank you for all you do and Mahalo.

      Hi Art.

      Thanks. As we mentioned before, vaccination exemption to testing will come via an announcement from the state, but as of today that does not exist. The only option is for testing.

      Aloha.

      Hi Art, I am also waiting for the vaccine passport to be official. I am a teacher who lives in Alabama & im fully vaccinated as of this past weekend. I’m planning my dream vacation trip to Oahu next year!! It worries me that not getting my test result back in 72 hours would be very stressful to me & this most likely will be my only opportunity to come to Hawaii. Aloha, Andrea

        Andrea B – if possible, try to get the ID NOW rapid test at Walgreens. Results came back in 3 hours and took a LOT of the stress away! Also, was cost free with our insurance.

        Also, what we thought would be our “only opportunity to come to Hawaii” was 14 trips ago!

        1. Niki S.

          Thank you for the suggestion Ed. Does the ID NOW Rapid Test fit the criteria? I am still somewhat confused what falls into the Nucleic Acid Amplification Test category.

          1. Ed. C

            Yes the ID NOW rapid test is a NAAT test and is accepted by the state of Hawaii. If you go to the Walgreens website, there is a specific page for Hawaii travel testing and it will tell you which Walgreens in your area offer that test. You just need to verify it is the test accepted by the state of Hawaii when you get the test. You also have to schedule it on the Walgreens website.

    Thank goodness! Now I just have to decide if it’s worth it to risk $8k in lodging on a possible positive test….
