Booking And Traveling Inter-Island In Hawaii
COVID Guidelines For Travel To And In Hawaii
Current COVID Guidelines
Starting June 15th, 2021 guests traveling on flights within Hawaii will no longer require a second negative test result. You will still be required to have a negative test coming into Hawaii. That will be removed and the “Safe Travels” program will end when 70% of the population in Hawaii has received full vaccination.
Suggestions For Before June 15th
We encourage guests to plan vacations, so they arrive on one of the outer-islands (Maui, Kauai, or Big Island) and then travel to Oahu at the end of their trip. That way, guests only need to have one test (unless they plan to visit another outer island).
Getting a test in Hawaii is easy right now, so you need only to book your appointment a couple of weeks in advance to be safe. Some clinics are walk-in, while many others have same-day appointments.
Expected Guidelines
55% Vaccination Rate
Starting June 15th – All returning residents to Hawaii who have been vaccinated in Hawaii can by-pass the pre-travel testing requirements and avoid quarantine by providing proof of vaccination in the Safe Travels portal. All inter-island restrictions for travel will be removed starting June 15th.
60% Vaccination Rate
Visitors traveling domestically and have gotten their vaccinations in the United States can skip pre-travel testing and quarantine measures if they can show proof of vaccination in the Safe Travels portal.
70% Vaccination Rate
All restrictions will end and the Safe Travels portal will be closed down to all travelers to the state.
Recommended Testing Locations And Pricing
Please review the pricing and list for a number of approved testing centers and their availability on each island. Most have appointments available within two weeks. Most of these places will return a test result to you within 12 hours but have a stated period of up to 2 days (if itʻs a weekend).
