Pioneer Inn Shops

This old Whaler’s Inn and Shopping Arcade is the focal point of the Lahaina Historical District and located on the Wharf 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 116-year old Inn is situated near many attractions including the famous Banyan tree, all recreational marine activities, and the ferries to Lana’i and Moloka’i.

The Pioneer Inn also houses 16 of the most respected and unique shops and merchants in Lahaina. You can have a special souvenir picture taken with tropical birds for the folks back home while enjoying a cool and refreshing ice cream treat or cookie from Banyan Treats. 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. Watch as the woodcarver transforms a piece of wood into a tiki statue at Island Woodcarvers or marvel at the traditional hand-carved Hawaiian weapons made of wood, swordfish bill, and shark teeth.

At Tickets For Less, you can purchase tickets for all recreational island activities. The Whalers General Store stocks everything you need from toothpaste to t-shirts and souvenirs. For that special “made on Maui” souvenir of jewelry, artwork, clothing, shoes, and accessories, you must visit Maui Memories.
