Aubrey is a wonderful piano teacher. We have been going to her once a week for 7 years! She’s very reliable, and super organized too. She’s become a mentor for my daughter, and a friend to me.
Great group exposure to music.
My son & I enjoyed it.
We love Miss Aubrey and the music family class. Both my kids have had such great experiences. She is so contagiously fun and does a great job engaging with everyone while also teaching your children about music. I love that the class is designed for parents to participate as well. Hands down one of our favorite early childhood activities!
5. Maui Mana Smokeshop
Address: 3682 Baldwin Ave, Makawao, HI 96768 , Makawao , Hawaii , United States
Cute little shop with everything you need plus FANTASTIC customer service.
Excellent customer service
It’s a good little shop with plenty of options to choose from
Store hours are every day 10-6 been sitting out front for a hour waiting for someone to come open the store its 4pm.. no sign as to why no one is around. Doors open just locked with a gate and a mag lock.??? Called the number posted and no replys.. going to give it another 20 mins and then they lose a sale..
Pretty rad pipes and clipper lighters !
So overpriced
Over pricing on everything. You can go to the smoke shop in happy valley and get items for half the amount.
Overpriced! They sell individual thc tests for $12 each; they are $12 for a box of 12 at Walmart. Will never go back because I will not support a business that overcharges people to that extent. I understand you have to make a percentage in profit but come on!

Carlos Rock was very professional and very patient in explaining to me and my son, John, the differences of ukulele that he has in his family store, located in Paia, Maui. This family owned and operated business has been around Maui over 30 years. We’re visiting from Southern California and appreciated in taking home a peace of Maui, Hawaiian history home as it was made from the koa tree which is locally grown on these islands. So, if you ever visit Maui, go to Mele Ukulele and Carlos will help you pick out a nice hand-crafted ukulele for you. Ours costs $900 but you can find an affordable factory made for $125–$175. We also saw a soprano one that goes for $3000 but we’re not ready for it, yet. You won’t regret it!
I came in the store with a vague idea that I should get a locally made decent quality uke in Hawaii. I left after playing a few. Got lunch, thought about it, then came back a few minutes later and got me one after thinking about it. The Mele ukes sound very solid and less muted than most I have played. The lady serving there was super helpful and friendly.
Great ukulele shop with a wide variety of instruments and music available.
Staff are kind, patient, and very helpful. They were able to answer questions about instruments, learning skills, materials, and instrument transportation. They demonstrated some of the differences between ukuleles and shared information about different styles. It helped a lot with my decision and made me feel more comfortable making my choice.
12. Bounty Music
Address: 111 Hana Hwy #105, Kahului, HI 96732 , Makawao , Hawaii , United States
Paul and all the crew at Bounty took excellent care of my wife and I purchasing a sound system for our venue. We got top quality equipment at very competitive price compared to Amazon or another place. For that matter. If you are searching for musical instruments or sound equipment you cannot go wrong at Bounty. Mahalo Bounty gang
Tim & Tom are the best! These guys have all the knowledge you’d ever need, and if you’ve ever seen either of them play, you’d know they absolutely rip on the guitar. We’re lucky to have pros like them on Maui.
As a former employee of Bounty Music, a long time customer, and current friends of several team members, I can say it’s a great place to give my business to. Support local businesses!!
Always the best prices, the only prices LOL, LOL, LOL,
Music
Store jammed with loads of different instruments and their nice staff are all very helpful!
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
Horrible service, incompetent tech can never repair instruments never demonstrate a true sincere desire to help toxic place not a true music store what a shame!! don’t go there!
Hey Beware,
I’m sorry but I’ve had a couple of rough experiences at bounty. I wanted to buy an artist series Stratocaster. I explained that I had looked online and was wondering if they could match the price or come close? I was told…
“If you can find it online you should just order it there, it’s easier.” I did explain that I like to support local businesses … but the sales guy was less than interested, and he just ended the conversation by walking away . Boy did I feel naive! I will say that I went online and ordered a nice guitar with free shipping and it was at my door in no time. I’ve since ordered an amp and two more guitars… all online without talking to Bounty. I have to confess that all experiences were “easier” than dealing with Bounty.
I just got off the phone with them and again I can’t believe the attitude. I explained that I was going to ship some guitars to the mainland, and did they have any guitar boxes that they were going to recycle or throw away? If so I would like to reuse them…you know go “green”. I’m not planing to ship for a couple of months.
“no” we don’t have any of those boxes…I was told, but we will sell you a Taylor box for 20$. They hung up on me before I could explain that I can get a bundle of 5 boxes for 8$ (online) with free shipping, so 20$ for 1 box is … well typical Bounty. I’m not really sure what the bad attitude is at Bounty? It is true that you can buy online for quite a bit cheaper than what Bounty offers on almost every single item they carry (this includes shipping costs).
Honestly Bounty seems disinterested and even lazy sometimes. I still go in and look every once in a while, but I don’t feel compelled to spend my money there.
1 star because, really it’s not worth the head ache to drive into town to put up with bad attitude!
I’ll give another star because a couple of the staff members are very nice… so it’s not a total waste of time…
I recommend that you do what I do which is… I just sit at my computer with a hot cup of coffee and shop away.. (go Prime!).
13. Rodeo General Store
Address: 3661 Baldwin Ave, Makawao, HI 96768 , Makawao , Hawaii , United States
Awesome store. Pork sandwich was so good I had to have another
Stopped in for a coffee and was surprised as to how much food this general store offers. I was immediately impressed with how clean the store was. The staff was super friendly. I loved the cat on the counter. Small town feel.
The Kombucha was outstanding and the fresh juices energizing! Great sandwiches too! Soo good
Pricey general store with lots of takeout food options that are affordable compared to some of the more expensive sit-down dine-in options in this touristy area.
sandwiches are better than subway, anyway. the gelato is great. i like the feral chickens with constant chicks. wildly overpriced and they love throwing hidden fees onto everything without telling you. Note: hidden is not subtle, adding one extra ingredient adds a full one-third the cost of the sandwich on to the price. They’re typically very nice though, except for when it gets busy. like many people in Hawaii it seems like they have a very difficult time handling anything even reasonably fast-paced so they seem to get overwhelmed
Deli selection is great. Staff are great. Would live to go back.
I hesitated to give the place one star but then I remembered that my experience today hasn’t been the first awful experience at the Rodeo. No. Not at all. Today the girl behind the deli counter was so rude to me and then was actually yelling you’re welcome! throughout the store, over and over again, (because i didn’t thank her for her rudeness)while her and the girl behind the cashier bantered loudly back and forth about being wasted at some party. I was just standing there holding my two year old wishing i could explode and destroy everyone, but we dont live in that kind of a world, so here I am. Doing the only thing society will accept.A complaint. A poor review. But if you’re reading this, and you have ever been served by some lazy disrespectful person, who you know would be fired if their boss saw them talking to you like that, but they do it because they think they can, boycott the Rodeo. Its Overpriced AND has horrible customer service. Its happened at different times over the years. Customer service is not a priority at all.
I bought 6 pack of beer which should be 10.49$ but they charged me 14.99$ for mixing two flavours of the same beer, and before that I asked them if I can do that. They said yes, and didn’t inform me, that they will charge almost 50% of the price charge. It seems like they want to ear additional money on tourists.
14. Got Music Inc
Address: 430 Hookahi St # 17, Wailuku, HI 96793 , Makawao , Hawaii , United States
Love the new look inside. Plus you dont have to stand in line you can do your order yourself and just grab a number and sit down or put your order in and go to cashier to pay out. Love it
Can’t get better fries than Mickey D’s
Only parking it hard to fine ap parking space but the sevice very good
Features: McDonalds does NOT offer Senior,Coffee here. However their on-going survey rewards you with effectively 2 for one. The prices are high. The survey offer brings the price of a Quarterpounder with Cheese from a wowser $6 to a little over $3. And it is goid, but would be better with sweet onions!!
We went there to try the saimin and coconut pie but both out of stock. But the local platter saved the day. It was so good and big portion.
Drive thru takes forever. Literally sit in the same spot for 5 minutes before one car moves. Line is to the road, and you see a lot of cars wanting to get food but leave instead because it takes so long.
Order is wrong almost every time I go here. After ordering im asked to park out front for my order. The pukalani location only has 7 parking stalls and the drive thru line blocks the stalls. I often am forced to park one the street and walk into the store to get my food . So much for limiting person to person contact since its so tight inside people cannot properly social distance.
the pie is cold。the Chicken was dry and overcooked. It’s retook. Not fresh
Past 2 times I’ve been there had to wait 25 minutes for my order. Unacceptable.

Every single ukulele I’ve ever had is from Mele Ukulele. This is strictly the only place I’d ever trust to buy ukuleles from. From customer service to product everything is top-notch. Best in the business hands down!
The power went out but the electricity was there! Everybody go!!
The Hawaiian family talent that goes into hand crafting many of these ukes–priceless. Get online zoom ukulele lessons from Arlie–if you are an advanced player– he will give you in one lesson tips that will put you into another dimension!
Loved hearing Koa test out an awesome tenor ukulele from here.
Very nice music store.
I was excited to buy a nice ukulele for once. I spent $400 thinking the ukulele I bought would be great. The same day I bought it, without any chance to play, the peg broke. I asked if it could get it fixed by the time my flight left, and they did. When I went to pick it up they made me wait a half hour even though my ukulele was sitting right there. I asked if there was any way I could either get my money back, get a new ukulele, or if they could check to see that none of the other pegs would break. I’m writing this because they responded with oh no you’re peg won’t break again, that’s super rare. But Im back home now and just had a second peg break, different peg from the first one that broke. I am a very kind and patient person but I do not appreciate this kind of service and I hope there is some way they can reconcile for an absurd amount of money paid for a low quality instrument.
18. Early Music Maui
Address: 745 Mililani Pl, Kihei, HI 96753 , Makawao , Hawaii , United States
The reason Market Street remains one of the cultural cores of Maui!
Pretty cool place! Found some little treasures inside, books. Music including a wall of CD’s and a bunch of records, posters, stickers, comics and more. Very nice and helpful young man at the caisse.
Hawaiian music CD’s, LP’s, Music and more.
Lots & lots of dvd comics records
Plus go downstairs for more stuff
I give this store a 3 because it’s a sauna in this building and the music is not my style, when I’m in this store I feel stoned, dizzy, psychedelic vibes. If you are claustrophobic this is NOT the store for you. The prices for certain items sold in this store are rdedonculously stupid. Granted they’re vintage, antique, rare that are hard to find but just because- pffft.
Getto
Cool stuff
