How to Subscribe to The Garden Island
Updated
The Garden Island offers subscription sign-up through its parent account system at account.oahupublications.com. If you want full access to Kauai's newspaper of record — including its local, Hawaii, sports, and editors' picks coverage — the subscription page is where you start. Exact prices, tiers, and delivery options are not stated on the site's public pages, so you'll need to open the subscription link to see current offers.
Where the subscription entry points are
The site surfaces subscription links rather than an inline pricing table:
| Link text | Destination |
|---|---|
| Subscribe | https://account.oahupublications.com/tgi/subscribe/ |
| Subscribe Now | https://account.oahupublications.com/hth/subscribe/ |
Both point to the same Oahu Publications account platform. The tgi path corresponds to The Garden Island; the hth path corresponds to another Oahu Publications title, so pick the one matching the paper you actually want.
What you can expect to find on the subscription page
Because the public site does not publish rates or plan details, the subscription page itself is the authoritative source for:
- Pricing — current rates for each plan
- Term options — whether weekly, monthly, or annual billing is offered
- Delivery format — digital access, print delivery, or a combination
- Account requirements — what information you need to provide at sign-up
Treat anything you read elsewhere about cost as unverified until you see it on that page.
Steps to subscribe
- Open
https://account.oahupublications.com/tgi/subscribe/in your browser. - Review the plans and prices shown there.
- Select the option that matches how you want to read — digital, print, or both.
- Create or sign in to an Oahu Publications account.
- Complete checkout using the payment method the page accepts.
Expected result: an active subscription tied to your account, giving you access to The Garden Island's content.
Common snags
- Wrong title selected. If you land on the
hthlink, you may be looking at a different publication's offer. Confirm the paper name before paying. - No price visible before clicking. The homepage only shows the "Subscribe" label, so don't assume a rate from the site itself.
- Login vs. subscription are separate. Having an account does not automatically mean you have an active subscription; the subscription must be purchased.
What The Garden Island covers once you subscribe
The paper has served Kauai since 1901 and organizes coverage around Editors' Picks, Local, Most Popular, Hawaii News, and Sports. A subscription is aimed at readers who want that full range rather than just the headlines visible on the public homepage.
