Travel Restrictions & Requirements Hi-lighted from the article include: Hawaii 10-day Trans-Pacific Quarantine in effect until further notice Currently, there are Hawaii Travel Restrictions in effect for all the major Hawaiian Islands, including the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Hawaii (the Big Island), Molokai, and Lanai.
