Why is it so much fun to shop in Hawaii? Hey, no work or chores are awaiting you after shopping. On the opposite, the tropical setting of open air markets in Hawaii, luxury resort shops at your Hawaii hotel or the abundance of Hawaiian retail stores makes shopping a popular activity on Hawaii vacation.

No wonder that shopping areas like Waikiki Beach on Oahu, Alii Drive in Kona on the Big Island or Lahaina Front Street on Maui are busy tourist attractions when shopping in Hawaii.

Hilo Hatties has the most items in one place, but not everything is 'Made in Hawaii'
