Oahu Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

  • Don't rent a car. There are few places in Waikiki to park one. If you want to explore the island, The Bus (locally called "da bus") circumnavigates Oahu for just $2.
  • Slow down. Restaurant service, drivers, even people’s speech patterns are unhurried in Honolulu. If you act like you're in a rush, it will not bode well with the locals.
  • Don’t pack heavily. Honolulu rarely gets chilly, and the dress code is always casual, so leave most suits, long-sleeve shirts, socks, and even long pants at home.
