Located in the North Shore shopping district area. I saw a pair of earrings from Instagram that I thought were adorable and decided to check this little store out. It's actually a nice souvenir store that has some odd items like a wooden chop stick holder that holds 4 pairs of chopsticks I think. The staff here are helpful and friendly. The Koa wood jewelry caught my eye and they had good clearance on some of the Koa wood jewekry pieces. I ended up hauling few earrings, koa bangle with matching ring. I did find the earrings that I originally was searching for in stock in the store. The staff carefully wrapped all pieces individually with tissue paper which I thought was a kind gesture. This store had adorable Hawaiian themed women Christmas ornaments that I was eyeing but the price was a little steep. It's truly a nice ornament though. I would recommend this store to any tourists that would like to grab a few souvenirs from hawaii that you may not even find in the swap meet or ABC stores. read more

Rare to find this excellent level of customer service these days. Polynesian Treasures stands behind their products 100%. I ordered a gift for my daughter online and there was a slight issue with it. Byron was a pleasure to work with and made the refund/replacement process so easy. Highly recommend for both the quality and the kindness! read more

I would recommend this place if you are looking for something made in Hawaii. This place was cute but expensive. The cashier was super sweet and friendly and had a lot of knowledge. There was a variety of items to choose from but not overwhelming so. We got a couple handmade trinkets but nothing too much because of prices. read more

Hands down the best trinket shop in Oahu... we saw the same things they sold for $5 for $20 from vendors in Waikiki. Not going to lie, it looks like a tiki god barfed up wood carvings, seashells, and coconut goodies here. There's things on all the walls, hanging on the ceiling, and every little nook was jam packed with things. All the keychains, all the old school post cards, freaking native weapon replicas galore. Easily did all the shopping here for souvenirs to take back home... There's also these cool photos with some of the lost cast and Aquamamoa, too. 11/10 - would come again when the haole fam needs vacation validations. read more

Cute little spot in Da North Shore, great merchandise but overpriced. Employer did not open door until a couple minutes after hours marked outside the business as she ran late. She also has her dog running around in the business. As I bought gifts she gave me a coupon to get a discount as I looked at the shark teeth but later not validate certain items as it only pertained to expensive items "not mentioned" on the coupon or verbally. Will save my money as the last day of my trip found better deals in Farmer Markets and other places in Honolulu. read more

Polynesian Treasures - Entrance - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

Amazing family owned store. Great service, friendly people, and awesome prices. Thanks for making it a memorable visit.

Unique finds at reasonable prices! I was impressed to find some items here that I had seen in ala Moana for much higher prices. The folks who work here are very friendly and helpful, running two checkouts to expedite the process. There were so many things I would have liked to purchase if I had more space in my suitcase. This was probably the best store for gifts/souvenirs in the Haleiwa area. read more

They have an abundance of treasures. I would recommend anyone visiting the island take a drive to the north shore and visit!!

Loads of treasures to look at and buy in this little local shop of goodies! Exceptional service and a warm Hawaiian welcome from a lovely lady that assisted us buying all our goods! North Shore shops rock! Spent a hefty wad of cash here and well worth it! Mostly jewelry gifts for me and friends back home. Hawaiian ornaments, jewelry, hair clips, rings, earrings, aahhh! so much goodness in this store most items are handmade by local artists. This by far is the best gift and souvenir shop I have been to on Oahu. We were in this store at least an hour there's so much to ogle and browse. Just when we thought we saw everything my Auntie would say, OMG! Tiff! Look! Haha, it takes a pretty big deal to get us as excited as we were in this gift shop. I bought handmade blown glass necklaces, two Hawaiian Christmas ornaments, Koa wood ring, Koa wood hair stick, Koa wood post cards for display. If you visit North Shore, please stop in and say hello to these awesome folks and browse the local arts and crafts! Spend time at the jewelry counters there's so much to see! read more

Beyond disappointed with the owner's lack of basic kindness and helpfulness. I love Hawaiian keepsakes and greatly value the Hawaiian culture. However the environment here was snobby and enough to make me not want to return. Nothing about this place resembles real aloha. read more

An interesting gem in the North Shore Marketplace: - A wide range of products supposedly from across the South Pacific. - Unique gift ideas ranging in price for those you want to pass along to friends and family on the mainland (or otherwise). - Great service from the two ladies working the shop. - Be sure to show your local ID for the 10% kamaaina discount!! I happened to stop in looking to see what they had and found a delightful selection of gift ideas - and walked out with a couple of kukui nut creams for friends on the mainland at $12.95 each - well worth the price of admission for something rather unique! read more

Quality items for a reasonable price! Best place in the north shore to buy any souvenir which I bought many. Anywhere else is much to expensive for the same item. Thank you Polynesian Treasure for these souvenirs. And memories. read more

Polynesian Treasures - Great white shark tooth jade stone - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

When visiting this store we were greeted by a nice young Hawaiian lady that was extremely helpful. Upon choosing one of their larger artworks, we inquired about shipping. She stated they do ship but was interrupted by an older lady (owner maybe) stating they only ship the smaller pieces. We asked about boxing and packing. The younger lady stated they may be able to help as the older lady shook her head no. We left to research logistics and packing. Upon returning two days later to purchase the piece we were met by the same two ladies. Asking the younger lady if they had a scale for weight, she happily obliged with some reluctance from the older lady. We stated that we would return upon leaving the area after shopping to get the piece at that time. We returned once again to purchase the piece and were only met by the older lady. As I decided to look around to see if I wanted to add to the purchase the lady rudely ask if we would like to make the purchase or not. At this point we were so unhappy with her customer service that we left. I feel bad for the young lady working with/for someone like this. I unfortunately will not return for any reason. Being a business owner myself, this is unacceptable. Profit loss, and if the worker was commission based, this can be detrimental. read more

This place (owner) made me so uncomfortable...like I was about to steal from her. Then she started changing prices on the items picked to buy. I would recommend a more authentic place than this place. Plus a lot of these items are on Amazon. Sad read more

I love the service here and the starfish earrings. I come in every so often and buy them out of what they've got in stock. I always get the nicest compliments about these earrings. Reasonably priced! read more

This shop is located in the first set of shops on the North Shore (coming from Honolulu). Just past the railroad tracks on the right. There is plenty of parking, though sometimes difficult to find a spot on weekends. Lots of things (trinkets) from soaps, postcards, simple jewelry, T-shirts, etc. It is rather small with a wrap-around style and the cash register is in the middle on the right side of the center section. You MUST go here if you're a tourist. Locals? Why not? You're on the North Shore, so go in and have fun... you may find something you just can't live without. Cheers! read more

I love coming to the store to check out all the awesome trinkets and decorations! It's my go-to stop when I need to buy presents from Hawaii for people on the mainland. (Think: one-stop shop for Christmas.) The vast majority of the items are made by local Hawaii vendors who handcraft the items, which is way better than the "local" stuff that's really made in China. It's the perfect place to get an ikaika helmet/makini for your car. Prices are very reasonable for the majority of the items, especially the handcrafted decorations. They have some items there that I've never seen at other local stores. Parking is easy peasy. Just pull into driveway by Breakers and go just around the corner to the left. (Don't forget to also stop into the Aloha General Store on the corner for the best shave ice on the island!) read more

This was a lovely little shop with a good variety of locally made art, gifts, and jewelry. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful in letting me know about the different artists and it was very easy to find meaningful and authentic souvenirs of our vacation here. Other reviewers have said it is expensive, and there are a lot of high priced things, but there are certainly plenty of quality choices under $25 as well, without having to get mass produced imports. read more

Their service is horrible, I have a service dog that I believe was the manager that's at least what she tried saying she was. Or owner couldn't really tell because she covered her name tag.. anyways, she wouldn't allow me to come in the store with my service dog. With whom I cannot walk without. She was extremely rude tried telling me that he's not a service dog, and he had to use the restroom and any animal lover knows animals well go if they need too, she tried telling me that I should walk him away from the stores; mind you that I'm shopping and yet I'm supposed to walk my service dog away from the front of the stores that I'm shopping at?? Makes no sense to me. I will never shop or even look at that store again. Especially when she tried saying she's been here for 22years and never allowed any animal in her store. My family has been in Haleiwa for over 100 years and she feels superior because she's white?? I told her okay, so you been here 22yrs, my family been here for over 100 she laughed rolled her eyes and said I don't care about your family!!! Wow lady, how nice that your living in Hawaii!! That means that the house you live in or rent actually belongs to my ancestors and the ancestors of my people. Sorry getting off topic. Now reason I even wrote anything is due to this lady's rude, snotty, better than thou attitude and the fact that she stated she has never allowed any animal; service dog or otherwise; in her store!!! If she is the owner then shame on her. If she's just a manager she needs to be put in place. Please if you love animals boycott this store for all animals of any class. Because animals have the right to walk same area as their owners. No reason or need for them to have to walk totally away from everyone. read more

While this store is extremely expensive (at least too steep for my pocketbook), it's a really neat store. The lady working behind the counter is always so cheerful and helpful. My partner and I visited last year where she bought a $60 glass octopus necklace. Overpriced if you ask me but the jewelry itself was amazing. Unfortunately, it got broke...go figure, it's made out of glass. We decided to stop by again to see if we could either replace it or have it fixed. Unfortunately, they only had one octopus necklace left and it wasn't near as amazing as what we previously purchased. The lady was so nice and took down our name and number and said she would give us a call when their new shipment comes in! That's pretty darn good service. And to top it off, she actually reminded us from last year. That's a big plus in my book ;-) So, we'll be making another trip to Haleiwa when we get the call! Conveniently located in the same shopping center as Patagonia, Cholo's, and Wyland. There ARE free public restrooms! read more

This place is terrific. My friend and I went in to peruse, and found a huge array of everything from touristy knickknacks, postcards, and jewelry, to fabric and perfumes, to amazing hand-crafted items. They were one of the few places I could find in all of Oahu to carry Monoï oil. We loved it so much, we ended up going twice--discovering more things that we overlooked on the previous visit. There is certainly a lot to be found here. The staff is also helpful & friendly as well. That in and of itself is worth glowing praise. read more

VERY edifying and helpful staff. I bought some handmade local jewelry. It's one of a kind; each piece is unique. Was very impressed with the staff's knowledge of artists they buy from, as well as their willingness in helping me find the perfect jewelry for my complexion and build. read more

I love this shop! Whenever I visit Oahu this is a must! Their items are very unique...not touristy at all. They have beautiful artwork, jewelry, handmade ornaments, and perfume. If you're in Haleiwa make sure to stop by this great little shop! read more

Polynesian Treasures - One of my treasures from Polynesian Treasures! - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

Great stuff! More authentic than many of the places that sell cheap crap! Also, being on the North Shore, I think it speaks to a different type of people than Waikiki for example. The clerks were extremely knowledgable about their products and answered all questions very well and gave some great info! If you want to bring something back from your trip to Hawaii, THIS is the place I recommend! read more

We did a lot of souvenir shopping on Oahu and this was my favorite shop. Quality items and good prices. They even offer a 10% military discount. We bought some large conch shells (better quality and prices than the shell stand). Beautiful raku pottery from Ben Diller. Some jewelry and a few other items for our nieces. We ate at Kono's (great pork sandwiches and burritos) and had a shave ice from the Aloha General store and didn't have to move the car, which was parked under the shade of a tree. A real treasure of a store. read more

Located in North Shore this amazing area filled with eateries and shops. Great place for souvenirs. Friendly staff bought most of my souvenirs here. read more

Go next door to the General Store for your tacky and cheesy souvenirs and gifts. This place has truly unique and cute stuff, and I'd actually be happy to be on the receiving end of these treasures. There's a wide variety of gifts in this small store - lotions, jewelry, coasters, wood handicrafts, shells, etc. etc. Most are generally well priced, considering they're good quality (and this is Hawaii, so it's all relative). My stand-bys are the island-style ornaments, the wood postcards and the pearl earrings. The staff is always pleasant and helpful without breathing down your neck. When my friend's son was visiting, they spent at least 15 minutes educating him on sharks and sharks' teeth. I even learned a few things myself! read more

Great authentic selection of hand crafted items and wonderful service. A must stop if you're passing through Haleiwa.

For Polynesian souveniers, Polynesian Treasures offers a variety of items which will appeal to all your gift recipients. I bought postcards to mail to my friends, followed by knick-knacks for others and finally fabric for my next project. Everything you could need to bring back to your friends can be found here. read more

If you are looking for quality Hawaiian items you need to shop here! I found gorgeous handmade jewelry, fabric by the yard, and numerous unique souvenirs. The staff is incredibly helpful and informative. What you will not find is the same stuff in every other touristy souvenir store. read more

The two women that work in the shop are super nice and very helpful with packing up items you want to ship to the mainland.

We go to Oahu every year. And every year we drive to North Shore, specifically to gift shop at this store! They have unique items and the staff is knowledgeable on the history and make etc.... I recommend it to anyone and everyone! NO junk here, simply one of kind pieces! read more

Standard mid-range souvenir shop but pleasantly arranged and with friendly helpful staff and one can usually find parking in the large lot.

What a fabulous little shop with quality gifts and souvenirs. We went back three times and kept finding more things that we had to have. I love their wood crafted items and jewelry, very nice for the price. The staff were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. read more

If you're shopping for souvenirs or home decor this is the place you want to go. While other shops will stock cheap crap that you wind up throwing away Polynesian Treasures has beautiful things you will keep for a lifetime. Items with value and meaning and a really nice and helpful staff who took their time explaining the history behind the things we were looking at. My husband and I walked away with rings to celebrate our 25th anniversary that we will treasure always. When we return you will be seeing us again. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Loved that this shop sells local Hawaiian made items. I bought several pieces of jewelry and souvenirs here.
