It’s easier to visit the Garden Isle now.
Apr 8, 2021
On April 5 Kauaʻi rejoined the state’s Safe Travels testing program, which would allow travelers to bypass Hawaiʻi’s mandatory 10-day quarantine with a negative COVID-19 test taken 72 hours before arriving in the Islands. (It originally opted out in December 2020.)
That means traveling to Kauaʻi is now an option as long as you meet all the requirements of the Safe Travels program, including getting a COVID test from a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified laboratory.
The island has seen very few visitors since March 2020, during the state’s first shutdown. The county has the second-fewest total COVID-19 cases in the state 198, compared to 23,468 on Oʻahu and fewer than 10 active cases as of Monday, thanks, in part, to Kauaʻi’s restrictive travel requirement.
