As expensive as it is to shop in Hawaii, my 13 year old daughter still wanted to do her own souvenir shopping for her little friends back home. She was able to go here at the Whaler’s village, and get lots & lots of necklaces, earrings, phone charms etc etc and not spend a fortune. It made her feel good to have that«tourist-going-shopping» in something other than the«ABC store» experience without the frustration of not being able to afford too much.
