• Step one: Create your Safe Travels account (each traveling adult will be required to create their own account.) For more information on how to set up your account check out this helpful video.
• Step two: Make an appointment with a Trusted Testing Partner approved for Covid-19 testing for travel to Hawaii. Tip: Tests through certain Walgreens locations may be free.
• Remember: Be sure that your test is taken no earlier than 72 hours before your last leg of departure.
• Step three: Fill out the Health Questionnaire and upload your test results in your Safe Travels account. You will receive a QR code.
• Remember: When you arrive in Hawaii, have your QR code readily available on your phone or as a printout. If your test results don’t arrive in time, you will be required to quarantine for 10 days. Caution: If you do have to quarantine once you arrive in Hawaii, you will have to designate a hotel or motel as your chosen quarantine location. Be aware that short-term & vacation rentals, as well as operations that rent vehicles, may not rent to any person subject to the 10-day quarantine.

Another thing to keep in mind is that each county (island) of Hawaii can change their travel requirements at any time, so it’s important to do a little further research on whatever island you are planning to travel to just in case requirements change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I get tested for Covid-19 that will be approved by the State of Hawaii for travel & how much do the tests cost?

    A: The State of Hawaii is only accepting tests through Trusted Testing Partners, which can be found here. Most locations do require a testing fee of $140+, however, certain Walgreen’s locations, are offering free testing depending on your health situation.

Q: What ages need to get tested before traveling to Hawaii?

     A: The Pre-Travel Testing Program requires passengers five and older to be tested before traveling to Hawaii.

Q: Do I need a QR code for each leg of my trip?

     A: If you have a layover somewhere before arriving in Hawaii you will only need to enter the last leg of your trip into your Safe Travels account, which will only require 1 QR code. For example, if your trip is SLC > SFO > HNL you will only need to enter the leg for SFO > HNL. The only requirement for needing more than 1 QR code is if you have a stop on another Hawaiian island.
