Souvenir shops line Hanga Roa's two main streets, Avenida Atamu Tekena and Avenida Te Pito o Te Henua. The most popular souvenirs and gifts are reproduction stone moai in a variety of formats (keychain size to the length of your forearm), and shell necklaces. Go farther afield to the sculptor Bene Tuki’s workshop at Aukara Lodge or visit Amaya Vai’s painting studio two streets back from Atamu Tekena on Tu’u Koihu.
Formerly known as the Feria Municipal, the town's fruit, vegetable, and fish market has substantially upped its crafts section to include more than 70 artisans and is now known as Hare Umanga Rapa Nui.
Next to the church is the Mercado Artesanal, a large building filled with crafts stands. Here, local artisans whittle wooden moai and string together seashell necklaces. It's open daily 9–8 (until 7 May–October). When specific vendors step out briefly, they cover their wares with a blanket.
