Crazy. There seems to be a large amount of people on here that will accept any type of restrictions to visit Hawaii, including a police state of affairs.
Some people on here have stated Hawaii can do what it wants. Well, if people are willing to accept it, then the danger is that will become normal. Also crazy.
I do not support Hawaii any longer because it is clearly going in the wrong direction.
I support vacation destinations and states that are less discriminatory towards visitors and more welcoming and kind to all. Hawaii has become a hostile and almost 3rd world style state. It has a banana republic style do nothing government. The people should be outraged, but many seem complacent with the sad state of affairs.
Crazy seems it’s not really that big of a deal. We went had a blast amd the process was 100% smooth and east. Stay in Florida
Aloha – please share this information to those asking “what if I don’t have a smart phone”
CELL PHONE /COMPUTER What if I cannot use the Safe Travels online from my phone or computer The airports will have mobile devices available – plan extra time for this – https://ets.hawaii.gov/travelhelp/additional-safe-travels-faqs/?fbclid=IwAR3VDfgUi0xBbXHh0B18_nWzmCMTeOyxKBoe_8rN5O_NpKEWjACdt6ifweg
Very welcome news. Hopefully Hawaii and the remaining US holdouts will get vaccinated before winter arrives. Don’t want/need another resurgence.
Heads up to parents of children under 5 traveling on Southwest from mainland to Hawaii. Verified everywhere that no test is required for under 5 to travel, and the rest of us were tested and docs uploaded for Pre-Clear. Arrive at LAX and were told “sorry”, even though children under 5 don’t “need” a test, they can’t Pre-Clear on mainland unless they have a test, and no one else registered with them can get Pre-Cleared on mainland either (ie the other minors and an adult on the main account). Have to go through the regular process, waiting in line with everyone else in Hawaii after landing. Escalated to supervisors. No dice. Other parents on flight had the same issue. Total nightmare and waste of time and resources trying to comply.
I’m sorry but I do not see the answer to my question. We will travel to Hawaii the middle of August. We have uploaded our vaccination cards to Hawaii Safe Travel web site but I still do not understand if we are still required to complete the health questionnaire to complete our exemption. Do we? Thank you so much for you informative and enjoyable web site.
Hi Jean.
Yes you will still be complying with the state’s Safe Travels requirements that include the health questionnaire.
Aloha
The health questionnaire is easy and short
I am a Canadian citizen and was fully vaccinated in Honolulu in February and March of 2021. Will I be able to return to Hawaii with no further testing? I’m awaiting your reply. Thank you so much. The Beat of Hawaii is very informative keep up the good work.
Hi Marion.
Given that you were vaccinated fully in Hawaii, you should be good. To get the correct answer, however, you should contact the state. The Safe Travels help desk is at 855-599-0888.
Aloha.
Aloha,
I was going to download my vax card into the safe travels program for my trip in September. However, where you go download your card its still saying, “Fully vaccinated travelers who received their vaccine in Hawaii may be eligible to travel to Hawaii from the continental US or from a US territory without having to pre-test or self-quarantine.” Do you if Hawaii or those in charge of the program will change the wording. That it does not confuse people when the download there Vax Card. Also, even though it does say that can I still my Vax Card for my Sept. trip to Maui. Also, what is the status of the AlohaSafe app. Is that still a requirement for Maui?
Mahalo!!!
Hi Michael.
The state said they would have that corrected yesterday. Regarding the Aloha Safe app, it is still indicated on the Maui County website, although others have reported here that it has not been required of them.
Aloha.
Thanks for the great news! I created a profile, trip, and requested an exemption because I am vax’d. However, the text still reads that it’s only for people who were vax’d in Hawaii. Should I have waited until July 8 or will they accept my request even though I was vax’d in CA? I plan to check my request again on July 8 and enter the data for my wife too.
Hi David.
As we just mentioned in responding to another comment, the state was to have had that straightened out yesterday, as per the Governor’s announcement. Ugg.
Aloha.
In the past the rules for the state of Hawaii were not the same in Kauai. My question is;
The rules that are effective on July 8th applies for Kauai as well? Very important to know.
We are flying into Kona on July 5. If by some chance our test results are held up because of the July 4th holiday and we go into quarantine,
will our quarantine end when our test results come through?
We have arrangements made to fly to Oahu on the 8th of July.
Thank you
Hi Kathleen.
Should that happen, and we certainly hope that it doesn’t, no you would not be able to exit quarantine until the 10 days are up or until you leave the state. That is how the rules are set up.
Aloha.
