Shopping

Spend the day shopping! On Oahu, there are many malls and shopping centers where you can spend the day shopping, eating, and relaxing.

Our top 3:

1. Ala Moana Center

The Ala Moana Center is the world’s largest open-air shopping center. Located in Honolulu, and just a few miles from the famous Waikiki Beach, there are over 366 stores and restaurants. To see them all, you might just need more than a single day with rain in Hawaii.

2. Ward Village

A slightly smaller mall, just a few miles from the Ala Moana Center you’ll find the Ward Village. There are a variety of shops and restaurants in the surrounding area to suit all tastes. Ward Village is also home to a multiplex cinema and a fantastic arcade. Disadvantage in the rain: The shops are partially over the street, so you are not always in the dry.

3. Waikele Premium Outlets

The Waikele Premium Outlet is the only Outlet Center on the island: who wants to make good deals, should drive here. You will find stores like Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Polo Ralph Lauren and many more. You can either travel there by regular bus for $2.75 (price 2018) or book a round trip on the Roberts Hawaii Waikiki Shuttle for $18 (price 2018).

These are the three best examples in or around Honolulu. Of course there are many shopping centers in other parts of the island. You want more examples? Then write us on Facebook!

1. Arcade Ward Village- Dave & Buster

The game hall is located in Ward Village (shopping no.2). There are many different games, such as video games, sports games (throw basketball) or billiards.
