We have endeavored to keep current with applicable State of Hawaii policy, but each guest is responsible for complying with the requirements imposed for quarantine-free travel to Hawaii.

Travel to Hawaii

Traveling to Maui

Kahului Airport (OGG) is the Maui’s main airport. There is also a smaller commuter airport between Ka’anapali and Kapalua, the Kapalua Airport (JHM) in West Maui.  Many airlines offer non-stop flights direct to Maui. You may also fly into Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on Oahu before heading to Maui on a short, 30-minute flight.

You can get around Maui by shuttle, tour bus, taxi, or public transportation. But to really experience all that Maui offers you should consider reserving a rental car in advance from the Kahului or Kapalua Airport.

Traveling to Kauai

The Grand Hyatt Kauai is located on Poipu Beach in Koloa, Kauai. The resort is a half-hour drive from Lihue airport, Many airlines offer nonstops to Kauai (Lihue Airport), or connect through Honolulu (HNL)  a short 20 minute flight from Honolulu International Airport.

You can get around Kauai by taxi, but to really experience Kauai you should consider reserving a rental car.
