Aloha Fellow Wayfarers!

I started Tiki Wanderlust to help fellow tiki enthusiasts to find fun new destinations in their travels.

As a travel agent and family man, I love to research trips all over the place. I’m not in a position to travel a lot at this time in my life, but when I do, I love to plan fun road trips down to the nitty gritty.

I often find myself trying to find some tiki related stops to add to my itineraries and find myself googling or checking some of the other tiki cataloging sites trying to find these stops, but don’t always find everything I need. Here at Tiki Wanderlust, I’m trying to compile all of those stops into one site, with as much general information as I can find.

I will probably try to add more details and photos later as the site grows, but for now, I wanted to give everyone a nice complete view of the options you’ll have when you travel, from tiki bars/restaurants, Polynesian/Mid-Century Modern or otherwise vintage hotels/motels for your stays to keep you in the right level of escape for your trip, and a few stops/shops you might want to make.

If you find any locations you know to be closed, or you know of a great place I may be missing, please let me know at [email protected].

Consider supporting the project via the Donate options. Looking to add some fun features to our Patreon program down the line. You may even be first to know about group travel adventures in the future.
