Fresh news on travel and tourism in Hawaii

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Monsoon-leaning weekend weather: Breezy trade winds keep spring conditions going through Thursday, but an upper-level disturbance plus deeper tropical moisture should make Friday into Saturday more unsettled, with muggier air, more widespread trade-wind showers, and pockets of heavier rain—especially windward slopes and mountains—plus rough east-shore conditions for beach and boat plans. Monk seal crackdown: A Washington man, Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, was arrested by federal agents after a video showed him throwing a coconut-sized rock at endangered Hawaiian monk seal “Lani” near Maui; he faces federal charges for harassing a protected animal. Transit for graduation: Honolulu’s TheBus will run a special “U Line” Saturday, May 16, to serve UH Manoa commencements, with extra trips from Ahua Lagoon Drive Skyline Station. Air travel shake-up: Alaska Airlines adds a new Honolulu–California summer nonstop (Hollywood Burbank) running through Aug. 18, and Lānaʻi Air says it will start daily Molokai–Honolulu flights this summer. Tourism support: HTA opens applications for its 2026 Community Tourism Collaboratives for Maui nonprofits and businesses, with a June 8 deadline.
