What are some of the general tips for travellers to Kauai during the COVID-19 outbreak?

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you plan to jet off to Kauai, these tips will help you navigate these new rules and challenges: Understand what, if any, restrictions or rules apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check government advisories before booking. Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes. Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection. You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for screening. Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening. Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.

Absolutely beautiful property! Beautiful view overlooking the ocean with chairs to sit in so you can sit out there early in the morning with coffee or in the evening. Rooms are very nice, kitchen is nice as well! After just a couple of days staying all of our towels were replaced. There were a beach chairs as well as a cooler. They had multiple events while we were there, including pizza trucks where you could purchase food, there’s a coffee cart with small breakfast burritos, and other things that you can also purchase almost every morning. They had a small market two days during the week. Overall, an amazing experience!
