Pioneer Inn Shops

This old Whaler's Inn and Shopping Arcade is situated on the Wharf and is the focal point of the Lahaina Historical District located at the site of the first lighthouse in the Pacific. Now known as the Pioneer Inn, it is Hawaii's second oldest hotel and is recognized as a historical site at the Library of Congress. The 110-year old Inn is surrounded by many attractions including all recreational marine activities, the ferries to Lana'i and Moloka'i, and the famous Banyan tree.

It also houses 14 of the most respected and unique shops and merchants on Front Street. You can have that special souvenir picture taken with tropical birds for the folks back home while enjoying a cool and refreshing ice cream treat or cookie from Hula Cookies & Ice Cream, or have a cup of java at Bad Ass Coffee Company before perusing the world-famous handmade jewelry featuring black pearls and other native stones at Maui Divers. See local ceramic flora or watch as the woodcarver transforms a piece of wood into a tiki statue at Island Woodcarvers.

At Activities Outlet, you can purchase tickets for most all recreational island activities. The Whalers General Store offers you everything from toothpaste to t-shirts and take home souvenirs. Atlantis Adventures Submarines offers you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cruise the bay area underwater and enjoy the coral and marine life.
