Where’s the best place to pick up those souvenirs you’ve just GOT to take home?
- For the most fun shopping: lots of small stores on Front Street in Lahaina.
- For the most choices in one place: Hilo Hattie (Lahaina & Kihei).
- For the lowest prices: Wal-Mart in Kahului.
- For Hawaiian music CDs, there are some at Hilo Hattie and a much larger selection at Barnes and Noble bookstore in Lahaina. But the best prices are at Wal-Mart in Kahului.
Six main Maui shopping areas I suggest, plus the usual
Front Street in Lahaina
Little tourist shops for T-shirts and souvenirs and art
Whalers Village on Kaanapali Beach 661-4567
Nicer tourist shops and restaurants.
Good souvenir shirt choices at Crazy Shirt.
The Shops at Wailea 879-1991
Upscale shops and restaurants in a beautiful modern open-air mall
The Lahaina Cannery Mall 661-5304
Modern enclosed mall on the main road outside the north edge of Lahaina
Regular stores, tourist shops, restaurants, Long’s Drugstore, and Safeway 24-hour supermarket
Old Lahaina Center at the north end of the Front Street (Lahaina) Maui shopping district
See oldlahainacenter.com for lists of stores and a calendar of free entertainment
Queen Kaahumanu Center in Kahului 877-4325
Sears and Macy’s and about 90 other stores, plus a food court
Biggest Maui shopping center
Where Maui residents (not just tourists) shop
And the usual Big Boxes:
Yes, they do have all of these on Maui: Costco, Walmart, Target, KMart, Whole Foods, Lowes, Home Depot. You’ll find them all in the main city of Kahului.
