Hawaii is now open!
There are THREE steps all travelers must complete prior to arrival:
- The Safe Travels digital program is a mandatory online form for ALL travelers to complete. People need to visit the site: https://travel.hawaii.gov/#/, create a profile, and enter their trip information.
- All travelers must take a COVID-19 test from ONLY a Hawaii Trusted Testing and Travel Partners: https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel-partners/. OR provide proof of being fully vaccinated within the U.S. Test results will ONLY be accepted from this partner list.
- 24 hours prior to departure and before boarding the plane, all travelers must log back into their Safe Travels’ account, answer a health questionnaire, and upload their negative test result. When all of that information is complete, travelers will receive a QR code. The key information on the following is “In Quarantine – No.” This will allow the traveler to rent a car and check into their accommodation.
Compliance with all three will greatly reduce the wait times as the required documents are checked.
