We are suppose to be arriving in Hawaii on July 26th. Do you think the pools and hotels will be open by then. We already cancelled our trip once and hope to not have to cancel again.
Testing people before they are “allowed” in the state? Who comes up with these harebrained ideas? There is not a state or country in the world that does this. You need to get some different advisors
If testing will be available,my family will have no problems doing it.Reason? We miss Hawaii! Ever since we went to Big Island 4 years ago after making fun about others spending crazy money on Hawaii trips for many years,after 1st visit we felt in love! We been coming to Hawaii twice per year, and planned on coming back in April again with 3 kids.we have 6 kids and since its expensive to travel with all, we travel 1 time with 3 kids, then same place other 3.So yes, we want to say Aloha so bad! My wife dreams abt Hawaii now. As soon as Hawaii will let tourists go – hello Maui!(or Big Island) Can Not Wait!
Please work out a solution, we would love to come to your beautiful islands and help revive the local economy. We are willing to do testing and wear masks. However we would only come if the beaches, national parks, attractions, helicopter and boats rides were open so we could fully experience what the island have to offer. Mahalo!
Last time we stayed in Honolulu there was a union strike at our hotel with bull horns 7am until 10pm. We spent 2 weeks doing our own cleaning and picking up supplies left on each floor. The temporary front desk clerk stole my drivers license. This was at a hotel we had stayed numerous times over the last 20 years and even brought over 20 folks for my daughter’s wedding 10 years ago. And now this…a 2 week quatantine to visit? No longer the Aloha state. It is clear Hawaii no longer wants tourists.
I have rebooked our Families Hawaii trip three times and now we need to pay our last payment on may21st ..just wondering if we will be able to come to Hawaii on june 21st and enjoy the Beauty?If we will need to be quarantined for 14 days,it would be silly to pay all.that money to sit in a rental. Has any thing been decieded for Hawaii travel? I would hate to cancel unthen be told we could of went malolo for your time!
Hi Shelly.
Kauai has announced the extension of the 14-day isolation through June. We are going to confirm that inasmuch as the counties were not going to act outside of the state at this point. Look for an update from us tomorrow.
Aloha.
Unfortunately, and although Hawaii is my go to destination, testing, mask wearing and other BS is not my idea of a vacation…looks like Florida gets the nod.
My heart breaks for the people of Hawaii. They are truly dependent on tourism for their survival but with that comes the threat of the vi rus becoming a nightmare for them. Testing before a flight is not very practical, as one could become infected between test and flight time. So . . . perhaps a plan of very strict protocol for any area of the islands that is impacted by tourists. Distancing everywhere. Masks as needed. The best of the best in PPE for all tourism workers, from resort housekeeping to restaurant employees. Extreme cleaning of public surfaces. Maybe 50% occupancy to start at resorts and restaurants. I would support a temporary additional tourism tax to supplement wages, PPE, etc. The Islands and the people provide such fabulous vacations for so many, perhaps we can help in some way to help them get back to sustainability.
Please get a grip on reality. Hawaii is a State. We have accommodations paid for on Maui in July. We go every year. We spend a good amount of money every year on golf, meals and other things. We also have a time share on Big island. So if we are healthy we expect to come and enjoy ourselves not be out in jail for 2 weeks of our 2 week vacation. Thank you
