Kauai to Maui & Oahu

[Thunder50]

Hello guys !
I will be heading to Kauai then Maui in the next few days and a first timer to both islands.
I was planning to bring my Spark on this trip and I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences on bringing drones and flying in these islands. Are they ok for us to fly on a safe manner? Are there any restrictions?
Can anyone share any awesome place to fly and get cool videos?
Any heads-up for me on this trip on what to expect will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Oahu was just added to our destination. Any heads-up for Oahu will be awesome too. Thanks!

I would expect FAA rules would apply just like the mainland .

Yes, I am pretty sure . I am a FAA registered drone pilot and will show my number if needed and my Spark info is registered to FAA too.
Thanks mate !

On Kauai dont fly over the taro fields in hanalei, there are critically endangered animals in this area and you can be cited. But other than that not too much in the way of restrictions

Hello mate!
Thanks for the very important info.
The US is very strict about endangered animals and I really appreciate you telling me about that particular area.
Thanks again !

Get Kittyhawk app. It lets you research in advance all the restrictions and no fly areas.
I’m going to Oahu in January so I’m also researching.
I’ve visited Maui 5 years ago. So many great memories.

Ok!
I will get that app.
Oahu was just added to our destination and will need some heads-up in there too.
Thank you !

Oahu has a lot of areas that are restricted due to sensitive wild life and military installations and airports

I was just watching yt about Oahu and have seen areas that are pretty awesome to fly but, sounds like not a good idea. Last thing we wanna do is fly over those installations. Thanks mate, I totally appreciate the information.
We are flying out tomorrow Am.
