Hawaiian Airlines offers a tool to help potential travelers search for trusted testing partners by departure city to help cut down on confusion and time spent researching. If you do hope to avoid a strict 10-day quarantine, you'll need a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of departure from a trusted testing partner. Not all islands are participating (Kauai, for example, does not allow travelers to opt out of the required quarantine even with a negative COVID-19 test). Hawaii is currently requiring a 10-day quarantine (previously 14 days) upon arrival - unless you're traveling to an island participating in the state's pre-arrival testing program.
