Honolulu Magazine

Honolulu Magazine HONOLULU Magazine covers dining, arts, culture, entertainment, news, shopping, family & city life. That magazine was Paradise of the Pacific.

In 1888, when Hawai‘i was still a monarchy, King Kalākaua commissioned a magazine under royal charter to be Hawai‘i's ambassador to the world. For nearly a century, Paradise of the Pacific promoted local business and tourism by assuring citizens of the United States that the Islands were civilized. In 1966, Paradise of the Pacific became HONOLULU Magazine and shifted focus dramatically. No longer

would it be Hawai‘i's ambassador to the outside world. Instead, it became a magazine by and for the people of the Islands. Today, HONOLULU is among the handful of publications in the U.S. that have chronicled the events of an entire century. It is, in fact, the oldest magazine in the state of Hawai‘i. A quality, four-color magazine, it reaches Hawai‘i's best educated and most affluent residents, as well as its most sophisticated visitors. Each month the magazine takes an unblinking look at contemporary issues. HONOLULU writes stories that matter—and stories that celebrate the unique culture, heritage and lifestyle of the Islands. It's the only magazine in Hawai‘i that does both. HONOLULU is part of a family of magazines at PacificBasin Communications.
