Where to shop in Hawaii

From high-end malls to expansive open-air shopping precincts, outlets and flea markets, Hawaii shopping is your opportunity to enjoy some serious retail therapy. In fact, many visitors spend as much time shopping as they do on the beach. The Honolulu shopping scene is perhaps the most well-known with famous destinations like the open-air Ala Moana shopping centre and outlet stores.  However, great deals and unique items aren’t just restricted to Oahu. Maui also features a thriving retail industry, and if you’re considering unique items on your list of what to buy in Hawaii, the Maui Crafts Guild is a must-see.
