Mid July Maui was officially approved to receive pets directly from the Mainland.  The Maui Humane Society has received this approval. Rumor has it  the first person to bring their pets in directly was Oprah Winfrey.  Not the best test as she comes in by private jet — but at least it gave the Humane Society a chance to “test” this out. 
 Please note to all of those interested in this.  There are some different requirements, i.e., they are requiring a 30 day notice of arrival (instead of 10 days to Honolulu) and also another form to fill out, I believe, referred to as a “NIP”, Neighbor Island Permit. So please contact the Dept of Agriculture  to check the exact requirements for neighbor island import.
