I Traveled to Oʻahu During COVID and This is What Happened
Tips and tricks from a veteran traveler who safely vacationed in the Islands under the state’s pre-travel testing program.

Itching for a weeklong getaway after one too many winter days trapped inside, I found myself scanning flights in search of somewhere warm. My interest was immediately piqued when I stumbled upon a nonstop round-trip flight to Oʻahu on Hawaiian Airlines. I spent much of 2019 flying back and forth between the East Coast and Oʻahu for a work assignment and quickly fell head over heels for the island’s beautiful scenery and laid-back vibe. It had been almost a year since my work travel came to an abrupt halt and this flight to Honolulu was calling my name.

Governor David Ige has approved Kaua‘i Mayor Derek Kawakami’s request to re-join the Safe Travels Hawaiʻi Program.
Kauaiʻs participation in the program will take effect on April 5, 2021. Until that time, existing rules for Kaua‘i travel will remain in place.
“This emergency rule will simplify travel to Hawai‘i by including Kaua‘i in the existing Safe Travels program. The increased restrictions over the winter months helped Mayor Kawakami safely balance travel with the health and safety of residents and visitors on the Garden Island,” said Gov. David Ige in a press release.
