If you're visiting Oʻahu, do yourself a favor and stop by Full Fathom Five. It ended up being one…read moreof the most memorable stops of our entire honeymoon. From the moment my wife and I walked through the door, Mark made us feel genuinely welcome. It didn't feel like we were walking into a gift shop--it felt like we were visiting an old friend. We spent a long time talking with him, hearing about his life, his wife Christine who personally makes many of the pieces in the store, and their marriage while celebrating our own honeymoon. The shop itself is incredible, filled with unique pieces created by local artists and members of the community. There are so many one-of-a-kind handmade gifts at reasonable prices, and it's the kind of place where you can find something meaningful instead of the typical tourist souvenirs. What touched me most, though, was learning everything Mark does for the local stray cats. As a fellow cat lover, seeing his compassion was inspiring. He cares for more than 20 stray cats and kittens, feeding them every night, helping get them spayed and neutered, taking them to veterinary appointments when they need care, and working to find the kittens safe, loving homes through rescues and adoptions. The amount of time, effort, and kindness he pours into these animals is truly remarkable. Supporting this shop means supporting someone who gives so much back to his community--not just through the local artists he showcases, but through the care he shows for animals and the people he meets. Mark is one of the kindest, most genuine people we've had the pleasure of meeting, and we're grateful our honeymoon led us to his shop. Thank you, Mark, for your hospitality, your kindness, and for making our trip just a little more special. We can't wait to come back the next time we're on Oʻahu

We purchased a print and had some nice conversations with Hilton. He even entertained our daughter who was all over the place. Perfect little memory and story behind the piece that will be on our wall at home. We like Hilton's style of blending street art with surf themes.
