What is the procedure when my pet arrives in Honolulu?
Honolulu is the only port of entry for all animals. All animals must arrive in Honolulu for inspection and quarantine. Dogs and cats arriving in Honolulu will be taken from the aircraft by airline personnel and delivered to the Airport Animal Quarantine Holding Facility. Pets are taken out of their carriers and placed in indoor kennels and provided with fresh water. Food may be provided at owner’s request. Pets arriving during the day are transferred to the main Animal Quarantine Station in Halawa Valley on one of two van runs each day. If your pet arrives after 3:00 p.m. it will spend the night at the airport facility and will be transferred to the main Animal Quarantine Station the next morning.
