Want to Travel to Maui with Your Pets?

Hawai’i has a strict quarantine process for animals entering the state – but as long as you follow all of the State of Hawaii’s rules and guidelines, it’s possible to be on the same flight to Maui as your pet – and then take them home with you when you leave the airport. While it is a good idea to look over the State’s website, don’t get overwhelmed! We’re here to get all of your questions answered, make sure all your paperwork is correct, and that timelines are met.

FAQs

How far ahead should I be planning?
