Passports
Q Do I need a passport to come to Hawaii?
A If you are traveling from outside the United States (and are not a U.S. citizen), yes. Hawaii is the United States' 50th state, so if you are a U.S. citizen, no passport is required. If you plan to take a Hawaii cruise, there may be separate requirements. Click here for details
Pearl Harbor
Q Where is Pearl Harbor — and how can I visit the site of the Dec. 7, 1941 attack by the Japanese Imperial Navy on the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor?
A Pearl Harbor is on the island of Oahu, just west of Honolulu International Airport. Located at Pearl Harbor are the USS Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri (among other significant historical attractions) More
Bringing Food
Q Can I bring fresh fruits or vegetables with me to the Islands?
A Perhaps. All visitors coming into Hawaii are required to complete a form declaring any fresh produce or other live organisms in their possession. If agriculture inspectors determine that your items cannot be brought into the state, they will confiscate it at the Honolulu airport.
Taking Food out of Hawaii
Q Can I take Hawaii-grown food home with me, such as pineapples?
A Certain fruits, vegetables and flowers are allowed for export, but they must be agriculturally approved. You can find boxed pineapple and other goods in retail shops throughout Hawaii. You CANNOT pick fruit or flowers in Hawaii and take them home. All luggage is scanned for outgoing agricultural products.
Pets
Q Can I bring pets to Hawaii?
A Yes. However, Hawaii is rabies-free and requires that all cats, dogs and other carnivores entering the state go through a rabies screening process. A state law exempts service dogs for the disabled. More information.
Time Zone
Q What time zone is Hawaii in?
A Hawaii Standard Time (GMT -10). We do not observe U.S. daylight savings time. The current time in Hawaii is always displayed on our home page, www.hawaii.com

All-Inclusive Resorts
Q Are there any all-inclusive resorts in Hawaii?
A No. Some resorts may include activities and some dining in a room/amenities package, but Hawaii hotels do not offer all-inclusive packages like those you'd see in Mexico or the Caribbean.
Returning Rocks
Q I took a small lava rock from the Big Island as a souvenir, but I hear it's bad luck to do so. Can I return it?
A Yes you can. Hawaiian legend has it that Pele, the goddess of fire, becomes angry when rock or sand is taken from the Big Island, her 'aina (land) — and sends bad luck to the person who took it. You can return rocks and sand to:
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
P.O. Box 52
Hawaii National Park, HI 96718-0052
