Don the Beachcomber is located within the Royal Kona Resort, where it opened in 2005.

This location is not to be confused with the historic, long-gone Don the Beachcomber restaurants run by Donn Beach or his partner Sunny Sund, but rather was opened by someone who picked up the rights to the name here in the Hawaiian Islands. Mainland rights to the Don the Beachcomber name are currently held by the newer Don the Beachcomber chain (including Madeira Beach and others run by 23 Restaurant Services after they acquired the brand from Delia Snyder).

The bar and restaurant are open-air, overlooking the ocean, but sheltered by a large, round roof. The restaurant in particular is full of fantastic '70s-chic Tiki loveliness, thanks to architect George "Pete" Wimberly.

A vibraphonist can sometimes be found playing in the bar as the sun sets over the ocean.

Food is on the more upscale end of Kailua-Kona dining.

A very short-lived, modern reincarnation of the Don the Beachcomber chain, located on the grounds of the Royal Lahaina Resort. The space is mostly gutted, and is now used as an entry area for the resort's evening luau.

Opened in the mid 2000's (at least as early as 2006) and closed in 2007.

This bar and restaurant overlooking the ocean opened in downtown Lahaina in 2008. The decor was light on tiki, but they did offer a custom tiki mug for sale in the traditional three-face bucket style.

Mai Tai Lounge closed in 2013, and the location became Koa's Seaside Grill, which then became Koa 156º, and then closed as well. As of 2022 this site appears to be hosting a Del Sol sunglasses and clothing store.

Beach Bumz is a small store within a shopping center in Kihei, selling tourist items, including plenty of tiki mugs and other items of interest to the modern tikiphile. In the same shopping center as South Shore Tiki Lounge.

Opened @ 2006.

A tiki bar & restaurant, tucked into a shopping center in Kihei. The decor is a mix of Polynesian Pop and surfing, with plenty of bamboo and some tikis. The inside portion is nice and dark, and there is a spacious outdoor patio. They have other things on their menu but are primarily known for their pizza. Beach Bumz is in the same shopping center.

The Waikikian Hotel, right on the beach & lagoon at Waikiki, was a long-time touristy institution on Oahu. The Waikikian housed the Tahitian Lanai restaurant and Papeete Bar; all three opened in 1956.

The hotel is instantly recognized by its unusual lobby, a dramatically stylized A-frame fashioned from a massive hyperbolic paraboloid, designed by architect Pete Wimberley. Much of the decorative carving and other touches were from Edward Brownlee. The grounds also included tiki-spotted gardens, and the lobby housed a gallery of black velvet Leeteg paintings.

The Waikikian closed in 1996; in December 2008, a 38-story timeshare opened in its place as part of the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village complex. The new tower is called the "Grand Waikikian."

The Bishop Museum was founded in 1889 by Charles Reed Bishop in tribute to his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, who was the last descendant of the Kamehamehas. The museum was built on the site of the Kamehameha School for Boys, which had been established by Princess Bernice. After her death, Charles Reed Bishop started the museum to showcase the Kamehameha family heirlooms and other Polynesian artifacts. The school eventually moved, allowing the Bishop Museum to expand, and it has grown over time so that it now houses a rather massive collection. One of the important pieces is a historic Heiau Ku carving - there are only two others, in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA, and in the British Museum in London. In 2010, all three Ku tikis were put on display at the Bishop museum. The other two were shipped back to their respective museums three years later. The museum also features a section dedicated to what they call "Ku Kitsch," known to us as Polynesian Pop, with many fine examples of modern uses of the image of Ku, including a mug from Tiki Farm.

The Green Garden Restaurant was established in 1948 on the south side of Kauai, and had a number of tikis inside. It closed in 2005 and appears to have been abandoned.

This classic Hawaiian hotel with striking views of Diamond Head near the beach of Waikiki was built in 1955 by famed American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, and was originally named Kaiser's Hawaiian Village. The property began with a few buildings, but rapidly expanded, with soaring towers eventually contributing to Waikiki's skyline. The Rainbow Tower in particular is a local landmark. Kaiser also built a nearby geodesic dome auditorium, the Kaiser Aluminum Dome, where some Exotica classics were recorded. Martin Denny played regularly in the Shell Bar, and for a couple of years Arthur Lyman played here with him. Hilton purchased the hotel in 1961, and still owns it today.

There is currently no tiki bar here, but you can get tropical cocktails at the Tropics Bar & Grill.

*Original Cocktail Menu shown below.

This was a spinoff location from the original Christian's Hut in Newport Beach. It was open from July 15th, 1957- @ 1958.

Opened June 22nd, 1971, two weeks after the grand opening of the Sheraton-Waikiki hotel of which it was a part.

Guests could take a twisting orchid staircase or glass elevator ride beside the flowing waterfall up to the Hanohano Room (second floor dining room).

This restaurant was part of the Kon-Tiki chain owned by Steve Crane.

After the Kon-Tiki closed in 1993, its tikis were purchased by the nearby La Mariana.

Tiki's Grill & Bar opened in 2002 in the heart of Waikiki, in the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel. It offers a modern take on Polynesian Pop, with lots of art by modern pop artists and carvings. There is both outdoor and indoor seating.
