Imagine riding a seemingly endless, gentle, downhill slope...fast! Riders travel ever-so-comfortably up the road to the crater in vans, but coming down, they ride in single file with experienced guides at the front and rear of the line. This is a safe, enjoyable way to tour the Haleakala Crater, one of Maui's main attractions.Call for further details and reservations. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Surf Shorts & Boards |
69 Hana Hwy Maui and Molokai, HI 96779 United States +1 808 579 8999 |
Clothing and surf gear are sold at this Paia Town store, which caters to the international windsurf contingent. The apparel mostly follows the upscale hippy styling that's so popular in Pai'ia; you'll see a wide selection of Aloha shirts, surf shorts, flowered dresses and flirty swimsuits. While a large part of business is derived from the sale and rental of surf equipment, you'd never know it to look. The boards are somehow hidden away, while the other equipment is tucked neatly into one corner of the store. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Necessities & accessories priced sky-high |
5165 Hana Hwy Maui and Molokai, HI 96713 United States +1 808 248 8231 |
Truthfully, this store is nothing special. But that fact does not in the least diminish its status as one of Hana's top tourist stops. Of course, the fact that it is one of only two places within 20 miles that sells little necessities such as potato chips, camera film and Kleenex definitely adds to the allure. The store is also quite the meeting spot for Hana residents. It is easy to spot them: look for the ones hanging out in the aisles for 20-minute stretches, chit-chatting about kids, work and the state of the surf on nearby beaches. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Jewelry designer David Sacco presides over his Upcountry Maui gallery, creating stunning custom designs that specifically meet the requirements of each lucky client. While his designs have earned comparisons to the greatest names in jewelry (Cartier being one), he is different than the jewelry giants for one main reason: His pieces are created with the buyer in mind. The jewelry is hand-crafted from gold, platinum and top-quality gemstones. The designs are distinctive and artistic and genuine showpieces. There is a second gallery at the new Shops at Wailea.

Maui Crafts Guild |
43 Hana Highway Paia, HI 96779 United States +1 808 579 9697 http://www.mauicraftsguild.com/ |
Several local artists and craftsmen display their works here. That's nothing new; most of the galleries and stores on Maui feature some local artists. However, this place is characterized by its artists' cooperative spirit and a pledge to offer reasonable prices. Woodworks, ceramics, tablewares, home ornaments and clothing accessories are among the wide selection of items for sale. The merchandise varies from simple to ornate, but all of it features a distinctly Hawaiian style. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you want something showy, you'll definitely find it. Frilly, sporty, flowered or plain, just take your pick. You can even have a suit custom-made.

Upcountry Goods, Upcountry Atmosphere |

The soothing atmosphere of this place is augmented by whirring fans and gently burbling fountains.

All kinds of locally made merchandise is available, including hand-sewn quilts and lovely stained glass. The entire line of Paradise Fragrances is for sale.

Local artist Sherri Reeve is known for her vivid watercolors depicting Hawaiian marine life. Original paintings, prints, gift cards and even designer T-shirts are available in her Upcountry store. Sherri's work can be seen in various other galleries and shops, but this store has the widest selection by far. Brightly colored yet somehow gentle, her style is very different from most local artists'. It focuses on simple beauty rather than hyper-color surrealism. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Both the local and the imported pieces are stunning and perfectly crafted with the highest quality. Settings are made of platinum or 18-karat gold. The staff is extremely friendly and laid-back, far different from jewelers on the mainland. The store has a pet parrot named Mango. He is an extremely vocal bird, but he only speaks to women, and only on special occasions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This pleasant store is frequented by the hundreds of windsurfers that hang out at famous Ho'okipa beach nearby. It carries typical windsurfer clothes. The styles are sporty, casual and somewhat flattering. The togs are perfect for people who follow the wind around the world. A wide range of windsurfing gear is available in the back. Keep in mind though, that even though the apparel might look casual and somewhat retro, most of it is on the pricey side. Review © 2007, Wcities |
