We've passed by this shop over a few dozen times over the years & decided to give it a go. The items are handmade from the Koa tree that is found in Hawaii. There are pens, jewelry, bags/purses, wallets, key chains, cutlery, ornaments, vases, kitchen items & other curious artwork displayed for sale. Candace was manning the shop & she was so friendly & welcoming. She even suggested a lady who might be able to create what we're looking for. This lady works from home & has a website (Tropical Isle Music). I love to support local businesses & Candace was so charming, I bought a couple of Aloha Hula girl ornaments & a pineapple (see photo) ornament. There's a few spaces for parking that it shares with Mankoa & a granola shack. It was lovely speaking with Candace, who I learned is actually half Filipino & half Japanese, born & raised in Kaua'i. Her grandfather was one of the first Filipinos who arrived from the Philippines to work in the plantations in Hawaii. It's always interesting to learn about people & their heritage. I'm very pleased with the experience & my purchases at this shop

As a guide he is knowledgeable, accommodating, and dedicated to making your experience memorable. As a person, he is kind, friendly, and engaging. Dennis spent a long day taking us all over the island, showing us not only the well known sights, but also many sights that only a local would know about. And as a very talented photographer, he helped us capture our memories both with his camera and our own. He coached my wife, a talented photographer in her own right, to compose photos of the beautiful scenery that we will enjoy for years to come. He even provided us with a USB of all the photos he took that day, including many family shots that I'm sure will be featured on our Christmas card this year! Thank you Dennis. We left Kauai with a wonderful experience, great memories, an appreciation of the island's history and people, and best of all....a friend for life.

My father instilled a true appreciation for Hawaiian culture and history in me and I'm proud that my sons are taking interest as well. This museum spans many aspects so get ready to go slow and enjoy. We appreciated so much of this museum and wish everyone visits when they come to Kauai!

Cleanliness is very poor. There were dead flies on some of the ceramic art. The frames were dusty…read more It smelled of food. Super gross gallery. A plug in would help although it's better not to eat in the lobby area. I noticed tables and chairs outside that can be utilized if no employee lounge is available. Perhaps the inattentive staff could spend time dusting while simultaneously droning on about childhood hardship? Just an idea. Even volunteers can be fired. The Artists deserve better and so do potential customers. We were hoping to find a piece and were very disappointed in the ambiance .
