    Hand made bubbler
    Brent S.

    Such an awesome funky little glass shop right off the highway in Kapaa. Drove past this shop on my way back from Haena state park. Noticing they did in-house glass blowing I was immediately intrigued and made a point to check them out a few days later on my trip in Kauai. I'm SO happy I stopped by. The guy that helped me made my piece the day prior and was super kind and helpful. The glass feels thick, quality and could tell was hand made. A girl was blowing pieces in the shop as I looked around and they had tons of really cool hand made pieces to choose from. I chose a little bubbler dab rig with some awesome color swirls and a jet percolator, The price was reasonable for a handmade piece... and it had a lot of personality if you will.....honestly I was expecting it to be a little more so I was quite pleased or I'm just used to California prices lol. Anyways I got the piece back to my room where I had my enail set up and wow does this thing rip. Incredibly satisfied with my purchase and this was BY FAR the coolest glass/ smoke shop I've ever been too....And I live in the Bay Area where they are a dime a dozen. Definitely check these guys out! Will be back for more next time I'm in Kauai!

    You wouldn't know this place is actually called "Aloha Images" - which is quite a boring name. The…read moresign outside says "A Candy Store For Art Lovers", and is probably a better name for the laid-back Hawaiian art gallery within. I like art and always like to check out galleries when I am traveling. Bustling Kapaa is only good enough for a pit stop between the north and south shores in my opinion, so I was surprised to find a gallery here when strolling around looking for something to eat. The gallery has some beautiful Koi Fish paintings, which are probably the main attraction. The artist of most of them, Seamus, was in the store both times I went in there (and I got the impression he is there a lot) in case you have questions for him. I'm not into Koi although I know a lot of people are for the symbolism, but the Koi paintings (and other ocean/water themed works) are vivid in color and worth checking out if passing by. If you are into fantasy-type ocean scene paintings, the ones in this shop are on par with Wyland and much more reasonable in price! I'm not into Koi or fantasy-art, and ended up going for an abstract piece that resembled waterfalls, painted in blues/greens with gold leaf, on a piece of birch wood. Very beautiful and changes with the lighting. The store curator, Ray, is a flexible on price and delivery methods. I left feeling like I paid handsomely for the art, but I got a deal.

Maggie had just viewed a ton of lovely local birds at the nearby Kilauea Lighthouse. There was calming feel to the Kong Lung shopping center. I spotted a lovely fountain and listened to the soothing sound of running water. Next to the fountain was the Lotus Gallery of Fine Art. I enter and breathe in a delightful scent. There is a sense of age in the wondrous artworks here. I saw many different jewels. So beautiful. Then I glanced upon silver turtles. Maggie placed them upon her neck and they sparkled in the mirror. From the look on her face I knew she was sold. Price was reasonable averaging $100/turtle. Shop owner was very helpful and knowledgable. While we did see live turtles from a distance in Poipu this is the tale of the origin of the 3 turtles Maggie has around her neck and her 2017 birthday present.

The outside mini garden complete with white Thai spirit house is so pretty, and in keeping with Thai traditions. However, when I noticed one Thai gold Buddha statue would set someone back $18,000, well, I decided I may be in the wrong shop. Perfect browsing for the hope-to-win the lottery set, or already minted millionaires, which makes sense since Kilauea is the home of many a newly minted tech millionaire --or really billionaire now, as the millionaire thing has become passé. Not to discredit, its not an easy feat to get Buddhist statuary out of Thailand, and requires jumping regulatory hoops (for good reason, to be sure you are not removing real antiquities of cultural significance) but shopping here is just not realistic for most mere mortals.

We've passed by this shop over a few dozen times over the years & decided to give it a go. The items are handmade from the Koa tree that is found in Hawaii. There are pens, jewelry, bags/purses, wallets, key chains, cutlery, ornaments, vases, kitchen items & other curious artwork displayed for sale. Candace was manning the shop & she was so friendly & welcoming. She even suggested a lady who might be able to create what we're looking for. This lady works from home & has a website (Tropical Isle Music). I love to support local businesses & Candace was so charming, I bought a couple of Aloha Hula girl ornaments & a pineapple (see photo) ornament. There's a few spaces for parking that it shares with Mankoa & a granola shack. It was lovely speaking with Candace, who I learned is actually half Filipino & half Japanese, born & raised in Kaua'i. Her grandfather was one of the first Filipinos who arrived from the Philippines to work in the plantations in Hawaii. It's always interesting to learn about people & their heritage. I'm very pleased with the experience & my purchases at this shop
