Gay Travel to Hawaii
Hawaii is a Pacific paradise that has long held a distinct allure for travelers from around the world.
With a warm, welcoming native population and a well-balanced, culturally-rich blend of Asian, Polynesian and white European cultures, Hawaii is a popular destination for straight and gay vacations alike.
While the LGBT community may seem a bit quiet and low-key on the islands, those taking part in gay travel to Hawaii will find a high level of acceptance, due in part to generations of different cultures growing accustomed to living together with no one overriding cultural or religious influence.
Oahu is home to the state capitol, Honolulu, the popular tourist destination, Waikiki, and 70% of Hawaii's population.
If you plan to visit Oahu on your gay holidays, you will not want to miss La Cucaracha, an LGBT-friendly Mexican café with authentic Mexican cuisine, margaritas and great music, or the LGBT novelty, book and clothing store, 80% Straight Inc.
, located in the Waikiki Grand.
There are also a few bars and clubs for those interested in the scene, including Hula's Bar & Lei Stand, Fusion Waikiki, In-Between and Angles Waikiki.
If heading to the beach is more your style, Queen's Surf and the area below the lighthouse at Diamond Head are the two spots where the community can be found any day of the year.
Those who choose a gay tour to Maui might not find a vibrant scene, other than a small area of Little Beach in Makena, but exploring quaint villages, watching the sunset atop Mount Haleakala and sunbathing near waterfalls all make Maui an enticing locale for gay travel.
If exploring what is considered the most tropical and scenic island of them all is part of your plans, Kauai is sure to deliver no matter what time of year you visit.
Kauai is home to a clothing optional LGBT-friendly bed and breakfast, as well as an LGBT-owned villa with a Japanese flair and a clothing optional lagoon pool, and is an ideal setting for exploring waterfalls, amazing cliffs and vast canyons.
The Big Island is also a welcoming vacation option and offers several LGBT-friendly accommodations, restaurants and business, as well as one bar.
Gay vacations to the Big Island provide opportunities to visit an active volcano, black sand beaches, a rain forest or the snow-capped Mauna Kea.
There are many reasons to travel to Hawaii, which is the most remote island chain in the world and a must-see paradise.
In a single trip to the islands you can scuba dive or snorkel among coral reefs, explore a volcano, visit a pineapple farm, ride horses on black sand beaches, learn the hula and attend an authentic luau.
To make sure you do not miss anything that Hawaii has to offer, consider traveling to Hawaii as part of gay travel tours, or enlist the assistance of a travel agency well-versed in planning gay travel.
