Gay Hawaii Travel COVID Test Requirements
Following the gay Hawaii COVID Travels Program is pretty easy to follow. If you do not follow the rules exactly and meet the requirements you will by law be required to quarantine for a mandatory 10 days without leaving your hotel room! Hotels will report you to the police because if not they are fined or can even be shutdown!
Here are the main steps: (You should check the State of Hawaii website frequently for changes BEFORE traveling to the islands as requirements may change)
- 72 hours prior to the departure of your last flight bringing you to the Hawaiian Islands, you must get a COVID test from one of the State of Hawaii’s approved labs. You MUST get a NEGATIVE test result in your possession BEFORE boarding your last leg to the islands as you will need to upload it to the State of Hawaii website or by the time you land in Hawaii. If you do not have this result, once you leave the airport in Hawaii you will be required to quarantine even if you get a negative result once you leave. They make no exceptions!
- Most of the major American Airline carriers have approved testing labs and sites at major connection airports and some also have at home tests available for a fee.
- Testing could also be done near your home at an approved facility, clinic or lab.
- The State of Hawaii DOES NOT accept all tests available in the market. It must be the specific one they require!

Upon arrival in Hawaii, your information will be verified by the State of Hawaii as you deplane. They will also verify where you will stay. If you have met all the requirements you are all set and on your way to enjoying the islands! However, keep in mind Hawaii law requires wearing a mask almost everywhere in public including at restaurants and shops. Social distancing is also required. The police and health department do enforce this - so follow the rules!
If you do not meet the requirements and they tell you to quarantine be sure to do so! Hotels and other places of residence will be required to report you if you leave your room or they get fined or closed down! Do not try to beat the system as your Hotel will know you’re required to quarantine and will issue you a one time use key. If you get locked out and go ask them for another the police will be called. Additionally, the State of Hawaii also has a task force that does random checks day and night on all islands to hotel rooms and residences to be sure you are there.

About Our Covid Relief Program
Gay Island Guide is proud to be Hawaii’s premier LGBTQ+ resource and guide. We are NOT a non-profit organization but a locally owned small business in Hawaii. Throughout the years we have had the honor and privilege of serving our community in connecting them with our LGBT businesses and also producing some of Hawaii’s top events.
During this time of crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic, we find ourselves like so many others. It is our hope to utilize our resources to help our LGBTQ community as many struggle now more than ever to pay bills and even figure out where their next meal will come from.
Our community has faced many adversities for decades and we have no doubt we will get through this together. However, right now our drag performers, bartenders, hotel workers, hair stylists, flight attendant, makeup artists and many more find themselves without any sort of income.
Additionally, our LGBT small businesses find themselves in predicaments of whether they will be able to survive and even reopen again once this pandemic has passed.
Through community support and donations, we hope to help provide those from our LGBT community that find themselves in need a little relief Through cash grants, food and other essential assistance that they may need.
