Stores, Malls or Markets in Maui

The tour company with whom we booked our vacation (GoGo Travel) provided us with a free breakfast at Longhi's. One of the tips provided to us talked about places to shop.

Since Maui is a tourist destination, you and your money can be separted very quickly...what you buy may not be the best quality. The surprising news is that you can find many items at great prices by shopping at Long's Drugs.

What to buy: You can purchase Hawaiian shirts, lotion, macadamia nuts, candles, glasses, food, drinks, etc.

What to pay: Depends on what you buy, but you can save tons of money and get good quality stuff.

While eating a delicious breakfast at Longhi's Restaurant, we were told that the best place to buy souvenirs, knick-knacks, etc. while saving money was at Long's Drugs.

What to buy: Macadamia Nuts, Hawaiian Shirts, lotion, etc.

What to pay: Better quality products and less than what you would pay at other tourist areas.

Nice looking jewelry, but not well made - When the gemstones fell out of the ring I purchased, they refused to stand behind the product and were quite rude

What to buy: nothing from this store in Whaler's village

What to pay: they will negotiate quite quickly on price, but no amount is worth defective merchandise

Cache is another women's apparel shop that you can find in most shopping centers throughout the US. They carry a nice selection of women's clothing like dressy party tops, dresses, pants and formal wear. They also carry a nice selection of jewelry and accessories.

I occassionaly will purchase something that really catches my eye and during our trip to Maui I was looking for a summery evening dress. The sales women was very helpful trying to help me find exactly what I was looking for which I did find. The dress was on sale for about $69 and was a perfect fit.

What to buy: Women's clothing and accessories

What to pay: Quite reasonbly priced

What a very nice shopping center right next to the beach! And, some nice restaurants along a walking path with great view right along the ocean. What more can you ask for? I especially like this store called Totally Hawaiian. A gift shop with beachy things but nice quality items that you would want to buy for your home.

The ABC store is just amazing. This is where you will pick up those souveniers for your family and friends and it won't cost you an arm and a leg! I didn't buy many souveniers on this trip but in the past, the Hawaii nail clippers were cheap and a big hit with my co-workers. I kept a few pairs for myself and I use them regularly. The snacks are even pretty good such as the dried mangos. This one is in Lahaina but I'm sure there are more of them here and there in Maui.

Westside Copy & Graphics is a shipping, photocopying and internet access store up in Kaanapalii (Lahaina). I needed to check in online with the airlines and then print our boarding passes for our return trip home. Most of the internet access places I found did not have the capability to print our boarding passes.

I had a problem with one of their printers not working and the lady behind the counter had to set me up on another computer and did not charge me for the time I spent trying to get the computer to interface with the printer.

What to pay: The charges vary for internet usage depending on how much time you spend using it; anything you printed was .50 per page.

The internet charges were a bit high but hey this is Maui where everything is a bit more costly.

I don't know if they are necessarily always the cheapest but it's an easy place to buy most of your souvenirs at one time at fairly reasonable prices. They are all over Maui.

What to buy: I bought tshirts, a dancing hula girl for my husband's trinket collection and a Christmas ornament. You can stock up on a variety of products made with macadamia nuts which always make good souvenirs.
