Hawaii Tourism provides information on government shutdown

Most tourist sites in Hawaii, including Pearl Harbor, remain open during the government shutdown. Here is more information:

Travelers heading to Hawai‘i should not cancel or postpone their trips.   Flights to the Hawaiian Islands and within the state should remain largely unaffected. Essential federal government workers such as air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents will continue to work in the event of a federal shutdown, ensuring safety and security. Travelers may experience longer wait times. Travelers should check with their airline for the status of their flight before heading to the airport. They should also plan to arrive early to the airport to give themselves extra time to pass through TSA security as a precautionary measure.   Visiting Hawai‘i’s national parks and wildlife refuges.

If visitors plan to visit a national park or refuge on or after Oct. 1, encourage them to call or check the site’s official website for the latest alerts, operating hours, and visitor information.
