Governor of Hawaii David Ige announced on Monday that the Hawaii Safe Travel Program will remain in place. This means that a booster vaccination against COVID-19 is not required for travelers in the United States who are traveling to Hawaii.
Visitors who received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine 14 days prior to arrival or tested negative prior to travel will still be exempt from the mandatory 5-day quarantine upon arrival in Hawaii.
A Hawaii Tourism Authority official welcomed Governor Ige’s announcement saying it will “protect the health and safety of the public and help restore the economy for local residents.” However, while revaccination is not required for travel it is recommended that visitors to Hawaii be vaccinated against COVID-19 and travel with a mask.
Vaccination records must be uploaded to the Safe Travel website prior to departure. Travelers arriving without proof of immunization or an acceptable negative pre-travel test result are subject to the mandatory five-day quarantine upon arrival to Hawaii.
