(Travelers between Lahaina and Manele harbors will continue to use paper mandatory travel form.)

 

Travelers to Maui County airports are reminded that they must submit applications for limited travel quarantine online at mauicounty.gov by clicking on the “request for limited quarantine form” icon. Requests should be completed at least 3 days prior to the requestor’s departure.
