Collect all 119 landmark stamps across the four islands and 16 local grinds — from poke to malasadas — plus every beach you set foot on, every waterfall you reach, and every lookout you pull over for. Route badges come from finishing Hawaii Guide checkpoint hunts. Your passport lives right here on your device — no account, no signup.
Open any beach, waterfall, lookout, or landmark page on the site and hit “I’ve Been Here” — the stamp lands in your passport automatically, dated the day you pressed it. The 119 landmark pages carry their stamp right on the page: it sits embossed and gray until you’ve been there, then inks in for good. Each collection tracks on its own, so your counts grow side by side. Stamps are saved in your browser, and if you use My Trip sync, they follow you between your phone and laptop. Mis-stamped one? Tap it again on its page, or remove it here.
Each collection also has a map view — tap “Show the map” and every landmark, beach, waterfall, and lookout gets pinned on its island. Landmark pins carry their stamp art, inked in where you’ve been and embossed-gray where you haven’t, so your coverage (and the gaps worth chasing) reads at a glance. Island buttons hop the map between Oʻahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauaʻi.
Stamp while you’re standing there and it earns a gold “Stamped at the spot” pin — a little extra bragging right for being there in person. Location is checked once, on your device, and never leaves it. No location, no problem: stamps made from the couch count exactly the same toward your progress.
The Grinds tab plays by the friendliest rules of all: ate it, stamp it. Tap any dish’s stamp right in the book and it inks in — honor system, no GPS, because a good plate lunch counts no matter which island you found it on. Tap a stamped dish anytime to jump to our guide for it.
Route badges play by harder rules: you can’t tap them in. Start one of our audio routes, check in at every eligible stop, and the completed route badge lands here on its own — that’s the whole point of a badge.
Like collecting? The Field Guide Scavenger Hunt is the passport’s nature-nerd sibling — 54 birds, trees, flowers, fruits, and lava features to check off as you spot them, saved to the same My Trip board as your stamps.
Trade winds are strong right now, with high surf hitting the south shore today. Windward areas are seeing frequent showers through the weekend.
South-facing beaches have dangerous surf today through Sunday—stay out of the water unless you're an experienced swimmer. East-facing shores will build rough water by Sunday or Monday. The bigger picture is a tropical system, Fausto, heading our way. It's weakening but should arrive near the islands by Tuesday or Wednesday as a tropical storm or weaker system, bringing strong winds, rough seas, and heavy rain. The exact track is still uncertain, so check the forecast daily.
Get your beach time and water activities in today through early next week on the leeward side, where conditions stay calmer. Be ready to shift plans by midweek when conditions turn rough.

Windy conditions across Maui right now, with trade winds gusting strong. South-facing shores have high surf today and will see another big swell Saturday and Sunday—the water's dangerous unless you're an experienced ocean swimmer.
Through the weekend, windward areas will get frequent showers while trade winds stay gusty. The bigger picture arrives midweek: Hurricane Fausto is weakening as it moves toward the islands and should reach Maui as a tropical storm or weaker system Tuesday or Wednesday. That'll bring rough seas, strong winds, and heavy rain. Track and timing are still uncertain, so check updates daily.
Hit the leeward beaches and snorkel south Maui coasts today through early next week, but stay out of windward and south-facing waters through Sunday.

Windy conditions dominate right now with strong trade winds pushing across the island. South-facing shores have high surf today—dangerous water if you're not an experienced swimmer.
Through the weekend, those south shores see another big swell Saturday and Sunday, and east-facing shores will build dangerous conditions by Sunday or Monday. Windward areas get frequent showers. A tropical system—the remnants of Hurricane Fausto—is weakening and headed toward the islands as a tropical storm or weaker system by Tuesday or Wednesday, bringing rough seas, strong winds, and heavy rain midweek. Timing and track are still uncertain, so check updates daily.
Leeward beaches on the Kona side stay your best bet today through early next week, but avoid the water on the windward and south shores through Sunday.

Strong trade winds are pushing showers across windward areas through the weekend. On Kauaʻi, expect frequent showers on the windward side.
High surf is running on south-facing shores today and will build again Saturday and Sunday—stay out of the water unless you're an experienced swimmer. East-facing shores will also see dangerous swell by Sunday or Monday. Hurricane Fausto is weakening as it moves toward Hawaii. By Tuesday or Wednesday it should reach the islands as a tropical storm or weaker system, bringing rough seas, strong winds, and heavy rain. Track and timing are still uncertain, so check updates daily through midweek.
Beach time on leeward shores works through early next week. Plan water activities for today, but be ready to shift if Fausto's track becomes clearer—conditions will deteriorate by midweek.
