Hawaii - What's Open, Closed, or Reopening Soon
Accommodations, Entertainment, & Attractions Updates
Last Updated: March 8, 2022, at 5:00 pm HST
Aloha, this page is designed to cover details about what's currently open, closed, or reopening in the near future in Hawaii. As you may know, there has been a 5-day (number of required days changed on January 3, 2022) Hawaii quarantine with several Hawaii travel restrictions since late March 2020. Undoubtedly, many travelers have eagerly been monitoring Hawaii and its process of reopening and now Hawaii is relaxing the mandatory 5-day quarantine policy, allowing travelers to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test or proof of vaccination to bypass quarantine instead. Please also remember that currently, this test MUST come from a trusted partner. As noted, Vaccine exemptions are also now available to select travelers, we've outlined more details on our Hawaii 'Vaccine Passports' page.
Now that visitors can once again enjoy Hawaii's remarkable natural beauty, great open spaces, unique experiences, and signature hospitality, we'll cover everything you need to know about what's open, closed, and reopening below. We've compiled a list of all the major Hawaii resorts, hotels, b&b's, inns, and attractions that have already reopened or plan too soon, and their reopening dates when applicable.
'Safe Travels' program will end March 25th for all domestic travelers
According to Governor Ige, the state of Hawaii will drop the current 'Safe Travels' program for domestic travelers at midnight on March 25, 2022. The governor made the announcement on Tuesday - March 1st. Governor Ige continues to urge people to continue taking precautions.
Under the new guidelines, the first-day travelers could visit the state without Safe Travels restrictions will be March 26th. The indoor mask mandate will now end the same day.
That now means beginning March 26, 2022, domestic travelers to Hawaii will no longer need to fill out online forms via Safe Travels, no longer have to worry about QR codes, no longer have to provide proof of vaccination, and ultimately, there won't be any additional requirements or restrictions to fly to Hawaii on a domestic flight.

Hawaii Car Rental Notice
Rates and rental demand are currently high
In the Summer of 2021, the Hawaii Tourism Authority's (HTA) President and CEO, John De Fries, notified travel publishers of additional information regarding the rental car shortages in Hawaii, currently caused by increasing demand as tourism rebounds in Hawaii post-pandemic. These shortages have persisted into 2022. The following information is some of the information they shared with us last year...
- Hawaii's rental car fleet decreased by more than 40% during the pandemic, which is understandable as travel to the islands effectively ground to a halt for an entire year. The car rental shortage is not limited to the Hawaiian Islands; it is also happening at major vacation destinations nationwide.
- Please do not rent moving trucks and/or vans for leisure purposes if you are traveling to Hawaii. Hawaii residents and businesses frequently use these work vehicles to move their belongings to new homes and offices and other essential personal tasks.
We will continue to monitor the situation with rentals cars in Hawaii closely and update this section accordingly.
Alternate Transportation Options in Hawaii
Instead of renting a vehicle, please see the following list of alternate transportation options below, provided by the Hawaii Tourism Authority, that you may want to consider while in Hawaii. Please keep in mind that your wait time may be longer than expected in some instances.
In addition, some hotels and resorts provide transportation to major points of interest. There are also many reputable tour operators that offer designated hotel pick-up and drop-off options. Please check with your accommodations and activity providers for details.
