State of Hawaii Safe Travels Hawaii Program

The state of Hawaii’s 14-day mandatory self-quarantine for all travelers arriving in the Hawaiian Islands remains in effect. Entry into Hawaii includes a pre-travel testing program, the Mandatory State of Hawaii Travel and Health Form, and temperature screening at all Hawaii airports upon arrival.

The pre-testing travel program began on October 15, 2020. The state of Hawaii will ONLY accept Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) from a certified Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) lab test results from TRUSTED TESTING AND TRAVEL PARTNERS.

All travelers ages five and over will be required to take a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) from a certified Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) lab in order to bypass the State of Hawaii’s 14-day mandatory quarantine.

A 14-day mandatory quarantine will be required for U.S. Mainland travelers arriving WITHOUT a confirmed negative COVID-19 test taken within the 72 hours before departure of the final leg of their trip to Hawaii. Travelers will not be able to obtain a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) upon arrival at any Hawaii airport.

Beginning November 6, travelers from Japan may bypass the State of Hawaii’s mandatory 14-day quarantine with a pre-travel test. For more information, please visit Hawaii Tourism Japan. At this time, there are no other enhanced entry options available for international travel.
