Waikiki Shopping
Best Shopping in Hawaii

Waikiki Shopping - You can find almost anything in Waikiki! From
traditional Hula outfits, beach towels and other souvenirs to couture and high
fashion, Waikiki is a Mecca of shopping!
I was shocked the first time I visited Waikiki by the variety of shopping.
There was Louis Vuitton and Coach stores, and then there were tourist souvenir
stands all within a block of each other. There are also duty free
shops, and Asian department stores.
And then there is the Ala Moana Center. The largest outdoor shopping
mall in the world and the largest mall in Hawaii, with the coolest food court I might add.
The shopping is so great, Japanese tourists take tours from Japan to
visit Honolulu and Waikiki for the shopping alone!
Look for typical Hawaiian souvenirs like, locally grown coffee,
macadamia nuts, and aloha wear.
Below you will find some options on Waikiki shopping.
Banyan Tree at the International Marketplace in
Waikiki
The
International Marketplace is a great place for
souvenir shopping in Waikiki.
It is made up of over
130 carts and shops, shaded by a huge Banyan tree,
right on Kalakaua Avenue, between Seaside and Kailulani. In the evening they
have
free entertainment, and the area has a nice atmosphere to visit.
The
prices are
good if you are looking for T-shirts, aloha wear, beach towels and local
crafts. There are also food stands and many jewellery shops.
We enjoyed our time here, and even got temporary tattoos for fun!

Other Waikiki Shopping Areas
The Upscale
Waikiki Beach Walk is located along Lewer's Street. It is a
newly renovated shopping area that offers lots of shopping and dining
opportunities. When we visit this summer I will report more on it.
Walmart - Ok you may think I am crazy, but Walmart seems to have the best
prices and not bad quality Hawaii Souvenirs. So don't count it out!
