There is a mostly gay eco-resort called Kalani on the Red Road and a couple of gay B&B's in Puna. Not exactly a vast infrastructure for gay tourism. Many of us, however, prefer, less stereotypical travel arrangements. When my partner and I were visiting here, we stayed in independent vacation rentals where we were welcomed and made to feel at home. IMHO Puna attracts a different sort of gay tourist, just as it attracts a different sort of heterosexual tourist. Think more laid back and into nature. We could start a whole thread on why more gay people seem to be settling here. Maybe later.
