Caressed by gentle tradewinds, the Hawai

moderate climate, spectacular golden beaches
and warm ocean water. There is an exciting,
vibrant resort area at Waikiki Beach . . .
majestic mountains overlooking tranquil
valleys ... captivating sunsets .. .the charm of
Hawaii’s people . . . enchanting Hula dancers ..

air. This is paradise!
Waikiki is the gathering place for those
looking for an action vacation. There are six
gay bars and clubs in the Waikiki area and one
gay friendly bar in the Inn on the Park Hotel.
There’s one gay hotel.. .the Hotel Honolulu,

full kitchen, air conditioning, phones, and
lanais. There is also a rooftop sun deck.
If the Hotel Honolulu is full, or you just
