If you can’t test on the mainland, this new alternative is something we suggested as an adjunct months ago.

I am confused about travel to Kona. The post says that if you transit through Honolulu with a negative test and retest in Kona, you do not have to quarantine. My transit is through Maui. No stay over. Do the same rules apply?
Hi Chris.
Yes the same rule should apply.
Aloha.
Hi, I’ve been following you throughout this pandemic and appreciate the information you have been sharing. I will be traveling from Phoenix to Hilo with a plane change in Honolulu. Will my pre-travel (72 hour) test be all I need to change planes in Honolulu?
Hi Judi.
Thanks. Yes, that is all that is needed.
Aloha.
Aloha guys, many thanks for such a great website. Best info to be found about the opening up of the islands. I do have a travel question that even Hawaiian air could not answer. A friend will be returning to the mainland… His flights are Ogg-Hnl-San Diego. Does he need a COVID test before leaving Ogg and does he need to fill out The Safe Travels forms for both segments..Thanks
Hi Dick.
Thanks. There is no quarantine flying from Maui to Honolulu (only the other direction). So nothing should be needed, and as far as we know, Safe Travels is not related. You can always check with the state, although comments say that they cannot be reached.
Aloha.
Many thanks for producing such an informative website. This is my go to spot for reopening information. I have noticed that several people are having trouble filling out the Safe Travels form, especially the trip log. Do you happened to have a copy of the form and the medical form so that I can review prior to travel. Thanks very much. Keep up the great work. Mahalo, Dick A
Hi Dick.
Thank you. No sorry to say we do not have copies of those.
Aloha.
Full time legal Hawaii residents should be given the tests for FREE. We pay Hawaii Income Tax and are not allowed to travel FREE to, from, or around our HOME state. Please tell me why we should have to pay to come home? Thank you.
Hi Lala.
Perhaps ask your state representatives, since we have nothing to do with it. It did strike us as odd that you can probably fly interisland for $30 but will have to pay $130 for the test. On the neighbor islands, you may also have a lot of time spent, since, on Kauai, the only testing site is a 45-minute drive from here.
Aloha.
