As we welcome you back, we want you to know about the positive changes which have been incorporated into our charter program to protect your health and safety. While the changes have been made to reduce person to person contact and allow for social distancing, the success of the program depends on the cooperation of each and every guest of Vacations Hawaii.
The wearing of masks and facial coverings, hand washing and social distancing cannot be overemphasized. Please take note that wherever the wearing of masks is discussed, we are following the recommendations of the Center of Disease Control (CDC) which states "Face coverings should not be placed on young children under the age of 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the face covering without assistance".
