a quick four day turn around to Oahu, painless, smooth and easy. All were kind helpful and had a great four days. Will be back for my birthday in February
Hi, I’m a bit nervous traveling soon with all this info. Is getting the PCR test from a military base overseas in Japan acceptable? I’m not showing any info on that but I did get the correct covid test.
Thank you for the comprehensive info. I’m on the site and am unsure of what to enter under “traveling to”. My destination is Maui with a layover in Honolulu and therefore I have 2 flight numbers but it only allows me to enter one. Do I just choose Honolulu as my destination and enter that flight number? Want to be as accurate as possible. Thanks!
Hi AB.
We believe that should be Honolulu. There is no Safe Travels between Honolulu and Maui.
Best bet for you might be to contact the Safe Travels help desk to confirm at 855-599-0888.
Aloha.
AB… You enter your first flight as “In Transit” and then enter your second flight.
You enter the first one as “In Transit” then enter the second one.
Dear AB, I hope that you have an awesome, fun, & safe trip to Hawaii!!! Enjoy 😊🌈☀️🩴🛩📅👓🌸🎉🌊🥥🍍🏝🌍💕
I am traveling tonight and still have not received an email from the “safe travels Hawaii” website (where I did dutifully create an account last week) and when I tried to access the site I get an internet “404” error?!?!?!?!? Anyone know what’s going on and how I should proceed??
MICHELE B>>> You don’t receive an email from Safe Travels. Once you have completed the Health Questionnaire portion – which must be done within 24 hours of your flight – you will see a green checkmark next time you log in to Safe Travels. Then you’re good to go.
Nice job Guys, Mahalo. Tried to get straights answers and they just kept saying check when you are due to travel as the wrinkles are being shook out. Looks like CDC compliance has been accepted and foreign vaccinations will be accepted on indirect flights via the mainland. Very sensible.
Hi Rich.
Thanks. That’s what we are seeing now from the state. Hope it sticks. 🙂
Aloha.

I have searched but can’t confirm the answer- does my 3 year old grandson need a Covid test when traveling directly from Canada to Hawaii? We booked a tear along with his parents but would still like to know. Thank you!
Hi Troy-Anne.
Hawaii’s requirement is testing at a minimum of 5 years. The issue is the federal government requirement which we believe is 2 years and above.
Aloha.
Are results from an AZOVA + Lucira™ Check It COVID-19 Test Kit with Video Observation for Travel acceptable for Safe Travels compliance?
I have a friend who is fully vaccinated and was going to travel to Hawaii. Took a PCR test just to make sure and was positive. Under these rules he could have still flown to Hawaii by showing his vaccination card. It does not follow the science and does not keep Covid out of the islands if you don’t require testing for everyone coming in!
True, but it cuts out the majority which is better than no precautions. Stats show that the program is working well.
IF they tested positive, they would still have to answer the questions that are asked within 24 hours of flying. They would not be able to fly under the rules. If they lie, then they would be subject to arrest if they are caught like anyone else. And the facts are that vaccinated people are 6 times less likely to test positive and 12 times less likely to die from Covid based on data collected by the NY times. So you please follow the science.
The point is that vaccinated people are getting Covid and unless they test before traveling to Hawaii you are letting people with the virus come to the islands! If they have no symptoms, then they answer the questions truthfully and they can still be carriers.
Correct, it is not no risk but it is much lower risk. Interestingly on Kauai basically all cases recently have been locals either returning or through community transmission since the vaccine exemption came into place. From that data alone, it can be observed that tourists flying to Kauai (and Hawaii in general) with a vaccine or test exemption (not requiring both) are very low risk and don’t contribute to Covid spread appreciably.
‘Travel to Hawaii, from outside the Country’, Vaccination or 72 Hour NAAT Test, yet here, it needn’t be from “a trusted partner”, why? The rationale favors those traveling Internationally, where even less is known about their ’72 Hour Test’ and where we’ve seen recently a great disparity in accuracy to some. That, and the Booster or nothe Injection has proven that the effective period can be but 90 days, while still allowing the Vaccinated to both contract and pass the virus! What of China?
So let me get this straight. Any foreigner entering Hawaii from another country: “Testing for direct international arrivals does not need to comply with partners and test requirements associated with Hawaii Safe Travels”. So international travelers from abroad don’t need to have a “Trusted Partner Test?” Makes no sense whatsoever. Who the hell is coming up with these unconstitutional rules? An international traveler can enter without a trusted partner test, but a resident of Hawaii can’t.
