Trusted Testing and Travel Partner(link is external) prior to departing as an alternative to Hawaii’s mandatory 5-day quarantine.
Additionally, any passengers on any commercial flight from the mainland [US], who are over the age of 18, who download the CLEAR app clearme.com/hawaii and correctly follow the directions can use Health Pass. CLEAR touts Health Pass as a “free, mobile experience by CLEAR, which securely connects a person’s verified identity to multiple layers of COVID-19 related insights, including proof of vaccination, to reduce public health risk.”
Here’s how it works: Travelers will add their negative COVID-19 test result or vaccine verification to the free CLEAR mobile app clearme.com/hawaii to generate a Health Pass. Then they can apply for a quarantine exception on the Hawaii Safe Travels website by linking their CLEAR Health Pass. The secure process may be done over a smartphone.
Employees of airlines participating in pre-clearance programs will scan a passenger’s HI QR code prior to the flight to Hawaii to ensure that all entry requirements are satisfied. Depending on the airline, travelers might receive a wristband to help expedite arrival procedures in Hawaii. If a particular airline does not provide pre- clearance service prior to departure, travelers will be screened upon arrival in Hawaii.

Are there any non-stop flights between Mexico and Hawaii?
You can always enter Hawaii as long as it's not prohibited by the federal government, however you might not be eligible for the Hawaii safe travels program, which can give you a quarantine exemption in Hawaii.
Otherwise I think you could fly to Los Angeles (or whatever convenient US gateway you prefer), comply with any (CDC and local) arrival requirements there, get tested in Los Angeles at a Hawaii Safe Travels approved partner and then proceed to Hawaii using the Hawaii safe travels program.
here's some info from Hawaiian Airlines that might help, though it's describing international travel arriving in Hawaii:

Has anyone heard or care to speculate if the vaccine cards are going to affect the wristband programs?

Hoping the airlines that check accounts for negative tests to issue wristbands will be able to match up accounts, vax cards and IDs and issue wristbands in that case as well. Otherwise, I could see the wristbands racing by the hoards of people lined up that are actually vaccinated. That would be a clumsy reversal!

This is just...AWESOME news! Planning a visit in September and was pre-rolling my eyes about the cherry-on-top $125 test (some of it just annoying logistics) on top of those awful rental car rates...

Where are you seeing that? The vaccine exemption I'm seeing still says:

I was able to upload my CDC card on 6/28. For some reason it wouldn't let me on my desktop but did on my phone.
