I found a Tahitian pearl bangle for me and my best friend back home. The gal working let me browse but was also readily available if I needed a case opened. That's how I prefer to shop- friendly and "around" but also give me my space. Speaking of space, this store is large! I mention this because it feels that it's curated well- every piece has its own space. Nothing is cluttered or messy. I walked the perimeter a few times, always seeing something new. I found an ornament and a framed oil painting too! There's a lot of shops in this area that seem to sell "the same things"- the same souvenirs, the same jewelry, the same sunglasses. By The Bay is a lovely gallery featuring art pieces of all kinds. Come here to find something that reminds you of the island for your home (or wrist!)

I came into the store and a shopkeeper who said she originated from the Philippines with an…read moreAmerican accident was tending the store. I asked her about the jewelry and candles and received passive aggressive answers. I then asked about the sage and crystals and again she replied "Are you a crystal person" I replied "No, but it looks fascinating and I would love to learn", she replied aggressively and said "I need to do my own research". I went to the counter and checked out and the entire time it felt like she was being competitive or ego building herself. Asking where I was from(I live here) and generally being very rude and dismissive. I checked out and confronted her behavior. Apparently she thinks that asking questions about products is "her being used" which is nonsense. It's part of her job. I don't recommend coming in, completely unnecessary energy. If the owners have a camera I recommend them check her behavior. This is not appropriate and is is driving away business.

She says, "if you're going to be rude, there's the door." She continued on some sort of tirade about having previously been a teacher, but I was already out of earshot and couldn't tell what she was lamenting....my 10 year old walked out and remarked about the importance of customer service. That's a win, at least! --------- I walked back with my daughter who thought she left something in the store, and the same shopkeeper remarked that there are cameras everywhere. (Okay, but what does that have to do with anything?!)

I absolutely loved working with Lois from beginning to end for our wedding at Olowalu Plantation…read moreHouse. I initially came across Lois through lots of online research and reviews. What stood out to me was her background and knowledge of flowers. After getting to know her and meeting her in person a year before my wedding, I knew I was in great hands. Lois is one of those vendors who always made time to chat and provides thoughtful suggestions on what she thinks might work well. When I had no idea what she was talking about flower wise (which was a lot of the time!), she patiently goes through each flower with me (had me go on a website to look each of them up) to make sure we're on the same page. When I let Lois know what kind of budget I was working with, she right away said of course she can work with that. From that point forward, she consciously tried to help me keep to the budget I was aiming for. Day of my wedding, I couldn't be happier with how all the flowers turned out for the bouquets, boutonnières, maile lea, table center pieces, circle arch design, aisle flowers, pedal toss, etc! When things with my initial planner turned sour, Lois was completely supportive and had no issues continuing to work with us and our new planner. Lois, we couldn't be more grateful :) Thanks for making our wedding a dream come true!

Perfect for a quick stop when you first arrive in Maui or before heading out. *Hours: Mon-Thu 10:00am-2:00pm (they really won't let you in after 1pm) *Admission: $10 We arrived close to closing, so we only got to explore the outdoor area. Still, it was fun to see early sugarcane plantation machinery, including: * 1898 Nordberg steam engine * Cleveland J36 trencher * 1920s outdoor Portuguese oven * 11-foot Bull Gear sugarcane transport wagon * Vintage Caterpillar tractors * Caterpillar 660 sugarcane transport cab It reminded us of similar sugar museum exhibits in Taiwan (Wanhua Longshan Temple area and Hualien), giving a glimpse into local agricultural history. This is definitely a niche spot. If you're curious about sugar mills, it's worth checking the official website first to decide if it's worth the admission fee.

Omg what can I say about this little gem of a place. I joined my husband on a business trip to Maui…read moreand found our way to Makawao. I was intrigued by their sign that said lei workshops and it was down a little magical path off the main side walk. We walked in and met Sheryl who was so warm and welcoming and told me a little bit about their lei workshops. Unfortunately we would be leaving before their next event but as we were speaking I was overcome by this scent throughout the small store. I asked what it was and it was this heavenly Jasmine fragrance. I tried the spray and then the oil and she sent us on our way and told us to come back only if I couldn't stop thinking about it. Walking around town I felt like a cartoon character where the scent is glowing as they pass by. It was amazing. Long story short, I went back and bought the oil. I love it so much and have been wearing it everyday since we left. I can't wait to go back and visit to take one of their workshops and learn more about the culture and traditions of lei making.

I didn't buy a lei, but I was excited to find a Hawaiian sun visor hat. I wish I knew the Hawaiian name for it. All I know, is that it is beautiful, it shades my eyes, and is soft and comfy! I hope that when I return in a future visit, that they will have more in various colors and sizes. Mahalo Sheryl for your welcoming spirit!
