the upper lobby of the hotel before you get to ‘Chucks
Steak House’ on the same level.
To get to the upper lobby please take
the escalator next to ‘Seattle's
Best Coffee’ mauka
(on the street side) of the building. If the wind allows there
will be a sign standing next to the escalator (but in the past
it has been blown over often by the strong tradewinds). *

The Waikiki Outrigger on the Beach Hotel is located at the diamond
head side of Waikiki, very close to the Moana Surfrider. It is one
of the last buildings on the makai (ocean) side of Kalakaua Avenue.
For Directions click
the hotel’s website.
Parking in Waikiki is always tricky, but the
Honolulu Zoo or Kalakaua Avenue along Queen’s beach provides
metered parking on the mauka side, but the parking fee just went
up quite a bit.
The makai (ocean) side of Kalakau Ave, still
has free parking. Please remember that along Kalakaua Avenue
and the Zoo meters need to be fed on Sunday too (frequent meter
checks have been spotted lately). Waikiki side streets still
have free parking on Sundays, if you are lucky enough to find
a spot.
The Society is a non-profit educational organization
dedicated to mineralogy and the lapidary arts. Our members can
also help identify fossil and mineral specimens for the public.
