In large Hawaiian cities, most hotels and restaurants are wheelchair-accessible, though this may not be the case in smaller towns or rural areas. Wheelchair-accessible vans are available to rent in most places, as are wheelchairs. Call ahead to restaurants, museums, and facilities to find out if they are wheelchair-accessible. Guide-dog owners should inquire as to quarantine policies.
If you are planning to visit a national park or attraction in the US run by the National Park Service (☎888-467-2757; www.nps.gov), obtain a free America the Beautiful Access Pass, which is available at park entrances. The pass entitles disabled travelers and their families to free park admission and provides a lifetime 50% discount on all campsite and parking fees. For information on transportation availability in individual US cities, contact the local chapter of the Easter Seal Society (☎800-221-6827; www.easter-seals.org).
