Shopping

Key Destinations

Maui County offers a delightful array of shopping opportunities. For larger shopping malls, there are Kaahumanu Shopping Center and Maui Mall in Kahului, the Shops at Wailea, Kapalua Shops, and Whaler's Village in Kaanapali. If you're driving to Hana, you'll want to stop at the Ching Store to fill up on gas and groceries. You'll find the perfect island attire at Hilo Hatti, which offers the largest collection of Hawaiian fashions in the islands. On Lanai, Pine Isle Market can help you fill a picnic basket for a day at the beach. A must-do on Molokai is a visit to Molokai Plumerias where you can pick your own flowers in the orchard and make a traditional Hawaiian lei. The beautiful fragrance will make you want to stay in the islands forever. Exclusive shops can often be found in the lobbies of luxury hotels.

Smart Souvenirs

Aloha shirts and resort wear, Hawaiian-music recordings, shell leis, coral jewelry, traditional quilts, island foods, Kona coffee, and koa-wood products are just a few of the gifts that visitors to Hawaii treasure. For the more elegant gift items, check out the Hawaiian boutiques in major island shopping centers as well as those tucked away in smaller shopping areas in residential districts. Island crafts fairs and swap meets offer a bargain bazaar of standard items such as T-shirts and tiki statues as well as original works by local artisans.

Watch Out

Souvenirs made from coral or tortoise shell may not have been harvested legally, so in the interest of preserving Hawaii's environment, it's best to avoid these.
