    We will be arriving on June 28 th. We are in Las Vegas and we are in a 30 day lock down. We are praying that this will nor be a threat by then. Would hate to cancel🙏🙏🙏

    We are suppose to be there on the 6th, but it’s now a debate if we should go or not. I know we are to be quar antined for our entire stay. My question is will they allow us to go to the beach even if it’s right off our condo?

    My wife and I have visited your beautiful island 4 times now in the past 10 years. Most recently this past January. I’m sorry to hear of the flooding that you have experienced in the last few weeks. Kauai truly is Heaven on Earth and look forward to our next visit after this virus is gone. Thank you for the updates. Aloha

    I wish all the people of Kauai good health and happiness in this worrisome time. I have been to Kauai many times, had a condo on the North Shore for 7 years, and love it there. I also live on a rural island, we have several confirmed cases, and we are in self isolation with only essential businesses open and all gatherings cancelled. The good news is that it works, the curve is flattening here. I hope to visit Kauai again when this crisis has passed. For now, we are helping our friends and neighbours by not visiting them. There is a local rap song, “If you love the island please don’t come”. Stay safe and best wishes, Glynnis from Salt Spring Island, Canada

    My husband Richard joined his sister, brother and their spouses on Kauai on March 2. He enjoyed the first week of doing tourist outins. He & his siblings went to the chocolate farm, Kauai Coffee plantation and did a helicopter flight over Waimea Canyon. He shopped, walked on the beaches and visited the botanical gardens. He and one sibling had decided to stay 2 extra months. But during his 3 week stay at Kawai Resort, the scare was becoming a health concern for island residents and visitors. He caught an emergency flight out on March 22 and flew home, wearing a mask all during the flight. For his safety and our family, he decided to isolate for 20 days. We both love Kauai and have a timeshare in Bali Hai in Princeville. We are praying for all of Hawaii as it is a place near and dear to our hearts and will visit again as soon as it safe to do so after this has run its course. Aloha to the beautiful people in Kauai. Stay safe at home & healthy.

    It’s comforting to know that the Island we deeply love and visit each year is taking a prudent, reasonable approach to ensure the safety of residents and visitors alike. We’re scheduled to visit in late September this year and pray that this national nightmare has passed by then. Our prayers are with all the phenomenal small restaurants, vendors, markets, and shops which we frequent whenever we’re there, and to the police, fire, medical, and other public employees who remain on the job to ensure vital services remain available to all.

    Thanks to beatofhawaii for keeping everyone informed and positive.

    I’m going to Hawaii for 4 days on Kauai and 10 in Kona tarting May 1. Are the beaches and pools open? Then there’s the 14-day quar antine. Should I cancel it?

    Thank you for your informative posts…I enjoy reading them and keeping up with the latest in/on the islands. We live in the Seattle area and when we saw the fantastic airfares (before all the quar antines), decided to go to Kauai and stay a week at the Lihue Kauai Marriott. (March 10). Everything was fine for the first week and lots of activity…things got a bit edgy when the first positive case of the vi rus took place shortly after our arrival. Incidentally, the 2 positives stayed at the Marriott after coming from Maui with symptoms and most likely, infected urgent care employees in Maui as well as on the aircraft they took. The Marriott handled the situation well and there was not a lot of panic.
    Kauai is so beautiful and we were enjoying ourselves so much we decided to extend our stay until March 22 (Sunday). We saw a dramatic change that week as the virus wreaked its havoc more on the islands, from bustling and busy to quiet and empty. It was hard to leave but it was in the best interest for all the citizens.
    I wish you health and positive thoughts for normalcy in paradise and can’t wait to return.
    Warm aloha, Vicki G.

    Aloha,
    Check out Malama Kaua’i for local food connections. Many farmers are willing to deliver or come to your town to meet several customers. My farmer comes to Kapa’a on Wednesday. Mahalo for all the updates. I enjoy Beat of Hawai’i
