Always a must stop when going to Maui! Love the items here - it's current, trendy, and reasonably priced! The staff are always super friendly and helpful! There is a wide selection of items to choose from - men's, women's, children. From hats, beanies, surf items, shorts, shirts, tshirts, slippers and jackets - Maui Tropix has some really great items! Maui Built! Forever a fan of this place. read more

Love the selection and variety at this location...plenty of parking too. They have expanded since they moved to this location, so everything is spread out nicely and they have a decent selection of keiki and ladies clothing. Nice stop after you fly in, as well as out! We love that anything "Maui Built" is one-of-a-kind and that the money we spend here stays on the island -- no inter-island or out of state shipping or ordering options. read more

Maui Tropix Kahului - Our Maui model! This kid lives in Maui Built! - Sports Wear Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

Stopped in Maui Tropix to replace a $70 pair of sunglasses we bought there just two months ago. The only options were $200+, and when we said we didn't want to spend that much, the salesperson sneered: "If you want cheap sunglasses, you should go to Walmart or Target." Rude, condescending, and completely unprofessional. Won't be shopping here again. And btw, we are locals doing our best to support local businesses. read more

A little pricey but great quality Products Friendly and helpful staff Always shop there when in Maui read more

This is only one of two places you can get a MauiBuilt item. Not on line, no where else. I m still on a little search for a certain Decal I ll know when I see it. Two large display cases , but no sale. If I needed another shirt this would have been the day but I had a plan. So , not yet. read more

When on Maui, you GOTTA get at least one thing from a Maui Tropix store!! Aaaaand it has to be something that says, #MauiBuilt!! This location is in Kahului. We were planning on going to the one in Lahaina but apparently that location is gone. =( No worries brahhhh, Kahului has got your back!! You'll find ample parking right in front of the store. Inside, it's like a rainbow feast of Maui Built items. Think of Maui Built as you do brand names like Roxy and Hurley. Locals and mainlanders alike go nuts for this stuff. You can only get this stuff Maui, so if you have a chance, get 'um!! You'll find everything from clothing (hoodies, shorts, shirts, dresses, swim trunks, etc.) to stickers to hats and other accessories like jewelry and license plate frames. I walked away with some goodies for peeps back home. They have a huge collection of stickers to put on your bumper or wherever. I grabbed a few of those too! My future new ride will sport one or two, haha! ;) Prices are more than I would like to pay, but again, this is Hawaii AND it's exclusive to Maui sooooo....yeahhh!! It's like going to Disneyland for the first time and leaving without any souvenirs. Lol The employees here are all full of aloha and they are patient. I was checking out their sticker and jewelry selection and I didn't feel rushed at all. I got a pair of earrings for myself. =) Make sure to hit up one of these stores if you're visiting Maui! They also have a location in Kihei near the condo we stayed at but this one is bigger! I hope you don't break the bank lol!! read more

Maui Tropix Kahului - Sports Wear Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

I love Maui Built! But sometimes ( in my opinion) I get the feeling that they don't like doing business with tourists. We go to Maui quite frequently and totally respect the Hawaiian people, their traditions and their homeland. I absolutely love Hawaii and would never do anything to be disrespectful. But there has been a few occasions where I'm in one of the shops purchasing things and I'm almost uncomfortable being there. I'm starting to think that they don't want to have the online store up because they kinda want to be in control of who they sell to. Just my opinion and I HOPE that I am incorrect. Aloha to you Maui Built and I will continue to be a loyal customer of yours. Please reopen your online store so when those of us that can't always be on Maui, can still "represent" your awesome homestyle brand. read more

I had to stop by Maui Tropix for my Maui Built wear. Store is conveniently located near the airport, so it's a perfect pit stop before I go back to Maui. I love rocking my Maui Built gear because it lets people know that I'm a Maui girl. The people who work here are great, they're friendly and super helpful if need. Lots of different stuff is here, so make sure you stop by to get your Maui gear! read more

Oh it had been a minute since I got to sport a Maui Built tee. The selection was vast and the staff there was very friendly and helpful. I also loaded up on some stickers for the car and the bike helmets. Too bad they were out of the "Filipino" logoed tees. It's a great place to stop by after arriving onto the island from the airport to "gear up like a local". read more

This place has the coolest gear on Maui! The staff is super friendly and helpful. They have t-shirts, sweaters and swim wear as well as hats sun glasses and shot glasses. If you need some cool stickers they have the best! read more

What an amazing store. Highly recommend Maui Tropix. From the minute we entered we were warmly greeted. The music was fantastic (Pandora Island Jams). Staff asked if we needed help numerous times. They were willing to call a second location to see if they had the size sandals we wanted. We only went in for a pair of sandals. We came out with tons of clothing etc. Anela was a fantastic staff member!!! read more

I always read other people's review before I state mine just to see if I am on point. This time I feel everyone overrates this shop. The only reason I left a 3 is because it is the only shop like it. I have roots in Maui and I believe in the logo but recently not sure if I can believe in their cause. They are becoming like any other surf store in Hawaii, HIC, T& C, Local Motion, what ever happened to taking care of the kama'aina? My cousin and I went in there and upon walking in we were greeted with an Aloha. Fine... great!! But the longer I stayed the Aloha seemed to diminish. It was almost as if I was starting to become more of an annoyance as I kept breaking them up from "talking story" with their peers. Hello! I am the customer.. how about come talk story with me. So I am looking through things and keep having to get someone to assist me. I was expecting to drop a lot of money. My top budget was $500. But it seemed the more questions I asked the more distant the clerks got. I finally settled on a pull over sweater, an aloha shirt for work, and a sun shirt. I wanted a sticker to probably put on one of my paddles and knowing that stickers have a high retail price (stickers probably cost 50 cents to make and they mark them up to $5) I jokingly asked, if I bought over a hundred dollars worth of merch would they give me a sticker. (Back in the day shops would use stickers as an incentive to spend.) when I asked this question the manager gave a grostique face as if I just ate shit. I than upped the ante and said well what about $200. Again with a stern "no" she had the audacity to treat me as if I was being rude. I couldn't do it anymore. Purchased my things and left disappointed, thinking to my self I hope it was that days management and that it's not an everyday occurrence that they treat their customers this shitty. I'm back in Oahu and though I encountered this I will rock my gear to show my support not for the company but for the people of Maui. Stay strong! Aloha. read more

Cool clothes, apparel, and beach accessories with the Maui Built logo. Which is unique because you cannot find it off Maui. If you can't find what you're looking for, no worries. The friendly employees are happy to help. I was looking for a particular logo print in a certain size and bam! They knew where it was. We stop every time we're in Maui! read more

5 stars nothing less. Good quality clothes good service and good people! Very welcoming. Clothes is pricey BUT it is worth it .

Haven't been back to Tropix since 2017 when we lived her back in 2017. So sad no Tropix store on Front Street anymore. Drove to the main store on Dairy Road and loved the upgraded larger store! It has always been a favorite store until now, they just lost a loyal dedicated customer because of this recent experience. I have to agree with Tina on the previous post....I was very annoyed by the young female who followed me everywhere like I was going to shoplift merchandise! I came so close to just confront her and tell her to get the "F" away from me! As soon as I found a shirt I liked, she took it away from me to hold it at the front counter! WTF?? It finally dawned on me they must have alot of locals and tourists stealing merchandise from this business, but it was enough of an annoyance for me to have someone hovering over me that I will not shop there again! Nobody likes bugs buzzing around them!! Get security cameras and have your employees spy on potential shoplifters from another room that way you got the evidence on camera and NOT ANNOYING REAL HONEST CUSTOMERS!! read more

The prices are high which is acceptable if you getting a quality product it used to be like that before,nowadays the quality is Chinese made shirts fade after first wash ,the stiching is awful they need to improve quality control ,I love the designs and styles just quality is the issue. read more

MAUI BUILT is the only surf wear I sport! Whether its beach wear or causeal attire its da beach wear you need brotha! Made locally in Maui and only sold on Maui so if you want it then you gotta bust a ticket and shop local. No website for hipster dufus wanna be's sporting a need fad. Maui Built shirts & shorts sport some of the best designs and fashion for surf wear. But it's the high quality material they use in there shorts that I'm impressed with. These shorts are indestructible and will last longer then your surf board or boogie board. Always stop by every time I'm in Maui. It's an easy $500 splurge so pack light cause your bag will fill up before you leave. read more

Best store on-island. Just go. Friendly and worth the time to stop in and enjoy the lovely atmosphere and people who work and clearly love their company. Every time we are on Maui, we stop at least once. From baby clothes to Christmas gifts, simply perfect Hawaiian. Much Mahalo! read more

The ladies at Maui Tropix always gives great customer service. Chelsie always greets me with a smile and is efficient. Prompt to fill my basket needs. I am always on the run, but to stop to grab a few gifts or whatever it n may be. Chelsie is always accommodating. Mahalo for such great service. read more

We, our family, went to the Maui Tropics, Kahului on 8/16. All four of the sales associates were rude, inattentive, and not interested in taking care of their customers. None of them acknowledged us coming into the store nor did they thank us for stopping in when we left. Our family is a mix of locally raised Hawaiian's, Filipino, Japanese, and Haole. Personally I felt unwelcomed in this store as did the rest of my family. We'll never go back to this store and we're going to tell as many people as we can to not waste your time going to this store. They obviously don't need the business nor want it. read more

Maui Tropix, otherwise known as Maui Built has awesome exclusive Maui (island) wear. Known Maui wide, and proudly worn by local people living on the different islands and even on the mainland. Their famous Maui Built graphic designs are each unique, and yet has a distinctive graphic that you can spot the edgy Maui Built wear easily in a crowded room. This Maui men and women clothing store is always perfectly stocked of t-shirts and miscellaneous items (board shorts, sweaters, hats, belts, wallets, stickers purses etc) which include the famous Maui Built graphic. They often have new and interesting designs, such that it's difficult make a quick decision. The clothing is expensive, but most items are made of good quality, long lasting material. I recommend to purchase from the marked down racks when shopping for growing children, I was able to receive a Kama'aina (Hawaii resident) discount of 20% off my entire purchase during my last visit. Guaranteed to make any teen or adult thrilled to receive anything from here, after all you went to Maui without them! Drive is minutes from the airport, perfect stop over before flying back home. read more

I would have given 5 stars except the experience was a lil peculiar. My husband and I look like locals but we're not. The employees in the store followed us around and every time we grabbed something and walked around with it they asked if they could take it to the front, which OK, whatever that's fine. My issue is if I don't need your help shopping and I am not asking for it, don't follow me around. It's bothersome. The entire time one of them (store manager maybe) kept trying to hustle my husband into buying more stuff which started to get really annoying because it was ruining our last experience in Maui before we jumped on the plane. Today, which is 4 days later I decide to unpack the Maui Built bag and come to find that the sweater I wanted the lady took out of my hands didn't even put it in the bag. I'm super pissed. If they would have just let us shop like normal tourists I'm sure it would have been a better experience. I mean literally harassing us to buy more stuff, just ring up the stuff we gave you and pay attention!! So annoyed and the same lady told my husband they don't have custom made jerseys for big and tall because no one wants to see them in tank tops! Rude AF. Of course she's a petite white lady pretending to be Hawaiian talking to REAL Polynesians, I couldn't even believe she said that. Body shaming my husband in the same breath trying to ask him to buy more stuff. Besides the service most of the clothing seemed really nice and stylish, price isn't a big deal to us because we know the clothing is exclusive. The only stuff that wasn't good quality were the big and tall t-shirts. Which I hope in the future they start designing clothes for the market you are selling too. It's questionable why the sizes are small when MOST Polynesians are not, MOST of us are bigger than other ethnicities, and it would be nice if they cater to us as so. read more

A friend told me about this place prior to arriving on the Valley Isle... MAUI. This shop is the best. Wall to wall Maui Built clothes & accessories. I walked in and was instantly greeted with smiles & shakas. The sales associate was very helpful in helping me find the sizes i needed for friends back on the mainland. She didnt believe I was from LA and thought I was a local boy... I bought several Maui Built shirts (mens & womens) and some decals for my board. And as I said goodbye to the staff there and thanked them for all their help, I noticed that the total on my receipt was lessened by the Kama'aina (local) discount the manager had given me at the register. I was surprised by that. Totally unexpected but no doubt appreciated by me. I walked back in the store to thank them and to tell them I was super appreciative of the gesture. They said to come back anytime.... I will. That's the aloha spirit.... Maui No Ka Oi. read more

This is the home of the infamous Maui Built name. STORE: They sell everything from shirts, surf shorts, jackets, bikinis, bathing suits, surfboards to bumper stickers and everything in between. Ever see those shirts with the different ETHNICITIES written on the front? This is where you get them. SERVICE: Very friendly and helpful. TIP: They have a big parking lot now so don't worry about only angle-in parking along busy Dairy anymore. read more

I haven't been to this Kahului location in a little over five years...the reason was because of the Dairy Road traffic... With that being said, this visit on Saturday, May 17th at around 1:30 pm, was a very pleasant surprise. My wife and I wasn't planning on stopping by here, but there was virtually no traffic on Dairy which enabled me to make a left turn into their parking lot The store was well stocked with their signature "Maui Built" apparel and the staff was very friendly and helpful. When visiting Maui, I usually make a beeline to the Maui Tropix - Kihei store, but if traffic on Dairy Road is not a problem, like this particular Saturday, then this store may be our first stop after picking up our rental car... read more

I've been a fan and a loyal customer of Maui Tropix for many years. Their selection of products, especially their clothing items, is the best on the island. The entire staff is always eager to help, especially Sandy! Happy shopping, Monte read more

Awesome clothing but ridiculous prices! Still i got some board shorts and some shirts.

I've been shopping there for years, but lately the inventory for that particularly style of clothing I wear has been on the decline. In board shorts there's a wide variety in other sizes and white t-shirts with the small logo on the front and big design on back its becoming almost impossible to find in the store. I guest its just being there at the right time. But the Wahines working there are very friendly, helpful and welcoming when walking in the front door. read more

Lots of variety, something for everyone. Loved it! They even had a kids waiting area as the parents shopped.

Great quality items, available ONLY on the island. Staff is friendly and helpful; if you want something in an odd size they call the other stores and if available, hold it for you. I visit every time I'm on island! read more

Locally owned, authentic Maui business. Constant new shirt designs on the racks and new stickers in the cases. We've bought everything from key chains, surf wax, so many shirts to sunglasses. THE PRICE IS REALLY RIGHT! Staff always greets when you walk into n the doors and are helpful, one time they called another location and held an item for me. read more

Maui Buit/Tropix is a great place to pick up a souvenir t-shirt of surf attire. My wife and I picked up a Maui Built T-shirt at this store.

This store is large and has a huge selection of different shirt styles. This is truly a local surf shop that only found on this island. read more
