Things are about to heat up for travelers to Hawaii.
Starting June 15, travel restrictions for travelers from the mainland U.S. will be easing.
According to Luxury Travel Advisor:
Beginning June 15, Hawaii will end some of its travel restrictions. First, according to Hawaii Governor David Ige, all restrictions for inter-county travel will end on that date. At the same time, travelers who have been vaccinated in Hawaii may bypass quarantine without a pre-travel test (such as a resident returning from the mainland U.S.). The decision to terminate testing/quarantine requirements comes as the State of Hawaii approaches the 55 percent vaccination rate. As of today, more than 52 percent of Hawaii’s residents have been fully vaccinated, according to Gov. Ige’s office.
Then, when the state reaches a 60 percent vaccination rate, individuals vaccinated in the United States who are traveling domestically will be able to bypass the testing/quarantine requirement with proof of vaccination through the state’s “Safe Travels” program. When the state achieves a 70 percent vaccination rate, all restrictions on travel will be lifted and the “Safe Travels” program will end.
