The term "San Diego Tiki Enlightenment Expedition" is a descriptive way to refer to the 1990s urban research expeditions conducted by Sven Kirsten, the renowned author, cinematographer, and Tiki historian.
During this era, Kirsten frequently visited historic hotbeds of Polynesian pop architecture—such as Shelter Island in San Diego, home to classic survivors like the Bali Hai Restaurant.
These field research trips allowed him to take vintage photographs and recover historical context, ultimately helping fuel the mid-1990s urban collector revival and leading to his seminal publication, The Book of Tiki
