The Hawaiian Islands continues to be what many people consider as paradise. In fact, many visitors consistently give Hawai‘i high marks for attributes relating to our natural beauty and safety and security.
While you are out and about in the Hawaiian Islands, please keep the following in mind to help you to have a safe and satisfying experience.
Ocean Water Safety Tips
Hawaii is famous for its beautiful beaches and ocean activities. Review and familiarize yourself with information about specific beaches, ocean conditions and other important safety tips before you head into the water.
Pedestrian Safety
Be a safe and smart pedestrian and know the rules. Review information provided by the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation on Walkwise Hawai‘i a program aimed at helping pedestrians to be safe. Information is available in Japanese, Filipino, Hawaiian, Samoan, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean languages.
Personal Safety
• Keep valuables in your hotel room or a hotel safe. When out for the day, keep essentials with you; don’t lock valuables in the car.
• Keep an eye on your belongings while on the beach.
• If you must leave items in your trunk, place them there prior to arriving at your destination.
• Carry travelers' checks instead of large amounts of cash. Divide money and credit cards.
Recreational Safety: Parks and Trails
Hawai‘i enjoys an abundance of great parks and hiking trails on all of its islands. Many of them are open to the public and can be enjoyed whether you are a novice or an experienced hiker.
Sun Protection
We want you to enjoy Hawai‘i's tropical climate and be sun smart at the same time. Even when the sun is hidden by clouds, visitors will want to protect themselves from ultra-violet rays that come through. Before going out for the day, it is a good idea to liberally apply sun-block with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) rating of 30 or higher, and to reapply after swimming. Visitors may also consider wearing a brimmed hat, sunglasses and long-sleeved shirts and pants for added protection from the sun's rays.
Civil Defense
Hawai‘i's State Civil Defense agency has developed a warning system to alert the public of an emergency. If you hear Civil Defense sirens (a steady siren tone for 3 minutes and repeated if necessary), listen to your car radio for emergency instructions on what to do. Please note that civil defense sirens are routinely tested at 11:45 am on the first working day of each month.
