    THIS ACTUALLY IS AN INTERESTING PLACE..A LOT OF SMALL SHOPS. .MANY SELLING THE SAME THINGS OR AT LEAST SIMULAR ITEMS.. A huge 100-year-old banyan tree sits in the middle of this open-air shopping mall in Waikiki. It opened in 1956 and is still a popular shopping stop. Shops sell Aloha shirts, diamonds, pearls, woodcarvings, gold, kites, tapestries and surf equipment. You can find some interesting things at a reasonable cost at this reasonable place.

    There's an international food court on the premises. On the second level you'll also find a surprisingly good Hawaiian art co-op gallery. Live Hawaiian entertainment is presented free of charge every Friday and Saturday evening. 8:30am-10pm Mon-Sun

    Hawaiian paintings show the invisible and they let you hear the sounds of silence.
    The mountains, the waterfalls cascading into the always changing moments of magical light and shadow have provided the endless source to creating them.
    Don't forget to visit at least one from the many galleries in Honolulu. You really don't get acquainted with the islands if you didn't look at a painting of this kind.

  • I did not take a picture of this, but it is a really cool semi-outdoor mall. It is right by Ala Moana hotel. It was fun to go shopping here, although some of the stores were really expensive. Shopping is expensive in Honolulu, but it makes for a fun window shopping, people watching, and a relaxed afternoon in general.

    Not my type of 'Must See', but many people seem to enjoy Shopping while traveling. (click the link for photos in travelogue, details later)
    There are many Duty-Free stores where you can buy various kinds of things specially from Hawaii (from macadamia nuts or coconut bra) or anything you can buy from any other parts of the world.

    The International Market has many small stores selling typical Hawaiian attires to jewelry. Several galleries on the streets selling works by famous or not-that-famous-yet artists.

    Shopping: Hilo Hattie's

  • Called 'The store of Hawaii'. They have a free trolley that will pick you up in Waikiki and take you down to their main store. Upon arrival they give you a free Shell Lei. Here you can see a working sweatshop, where you can watch them hand sew shirts, dresses etc. Prices are a bit on the high side, but they give you coupons after purchase to hit other activities on island at half price. Could easily save you 10's to 100's of dollars. We didn't hit Hilo Hattie's until our second last day, and kicked ourselves for not going sooner, as we had recieved coupons that could have saved us a fortune.

  • Must go to the Flea Market !! Very big and got alot of really nice stuffs to bargain.
    If you wish to see Polynesia culture, then I would recommend you go to the best. Go visit the Polynesia Culture Center which employs the students and donates the fees to their Polynesia Fund.
    A Hawaii Kid's Bikini selling for more than $15 at the Wakiki beach; the same item sells for only $8 in the Flea Market.
    Go to the PCC, they will teach you the Hawaiian Dance etc. A very enjoyable experience.

  • The flea market at the Aloha Bowl is about seven miles long.
    The flea market is one of the more popular tourist attractions. It is a great place to visit and purchase a variety of products at reasonable prices.

  • Heaps of bargains to find! If you're picking up lots of souvenirs then this is the place to go.

  • Directions: Aloha Stadium on Wed, Sat, Sun. Easy to find TheBus to take you there, and it's right near Pearl Harbour so I recommend combining these activities. Costs about 50cents to get in.
