(LĪHUʻE) – All restrictions on interisland travel are ending, effective Tuesday, June 15, 2021.
Passengers traveling from O‘ahu, Maui, or Hawai‘i Island will no longer be required to complete a Safe Travels profile or provide proof of a pre-travel test or vaccination when arriving on Kaua‘i. This only applies to travel within the State of Hawai‘i.
The mandatory traveler quarantine remains in effect for travel from out of state. Passengers arriving from the mainland or internationally are still required to complete a Safe Travels profile and either complete the required 10-day travel quarantine or receive a quarantine exception. The State of Hawai‘i will grant exceptions with an approved pre-travel test from a Trusted Partner Lab. Effective June 15, fully vaccinated travelers, with at least one dose administered in Hawai’i, can upload their vaccination information to be exempt from the Trans-Pacific travel quarantine. Travelers are considered fully vaccinated on the 15th day after completing their vaccine dose(s).
At this time, the State of Hawai‘i will not accept Trans-Pacific exceptions for vaccinations administered outside of Hawai‘i.
