Very knowledgeable. Allowed me to try several different ukeleles, explained the differences, and never pressured me to buy anything. This is exactly what a music store experience should be.

Great experience, at least for an absolute beginner who wanted to buy a uke. I received excellent help selecting an appropriate uke for my situation — not too cheap, but not too expensive in case I never use it — and walked off with an Islander tenor, a tuner, and a carrying case. Very happy. Then COVID-19 struck, and voila, plenty of time to practice. So far I haven’t gotten good enough to play to humans, but my dogs like the show, and I get better every week. I recommend this friendly shop.
Very reasonably priced and quality ukuleles. The owner is a wonderful gentleman who gave my wife a lot of tips and good information. One of my favorite experiences of the entire trip.
Julia helped us, since the owner was away. Fantastic service, so much that we purchased an Islander Ukulele. Great little store. Please see Julia’s paintings while you are there, they are phenomenal!
Worst customer service ever. The man working there couldn’t even bring his head up off his iPad to acknowledge our presence. Too bad too because I was ready to buy a ukulele.
6. Lāhainā Custom guitars & repairs
Address: 808 Waine’e St # 101, Lahaina, HI 96761 , Napili-Honokowai , Hawaii , United States
This is a great music shop. I purchased a guitar and soft case there at a great value. I was visiting Maui for a few weeks and wanted something “not too expensive” to play during my stay. I figured it would be a throw away but Avi turned me onto an excellent instrument with instructions on how to get it home to North Carolina on the plane. I could not be more pleased with the guitar or Avi – Great guy great value. Note I saw Avi play during my visit – Killer.
All can say as a local born and raised
On, who loves music; just go see Avi
At Lahaina custom guitars and you won’t
Be disappointed; godbless and aloha
Golden Voice:
Avi rocks! Literally and figuratively! Great gear, reasonable prices, personal service. Artistry from the tangible to the intangible. 5 stars are too few. I cannot recommend this operation highly enough.
A great place to get a custom guitar. The guy is really passionate and just loves music.
terrible service kicked me out when was trying out a guitar i was going to buy

Maui Music Mission is positively impacting the lives of children, youth and adults! Ruben Pali and his team of professional musicians are leading the way towards raising the consciousness both in life-skills and musical expression for the youth involved in the after school program. As an adult student, I am learning to express myself musically and am privileged to witness the joy, dedication and professionalism of Maui Music Mission. I highly encourage you to join their program and experience this opportunity for yourself!
I was home visiting Maui for a few weeks and was walking through Lahaina Center. Then I heard some ukulele chords being played. I followed my ears and saw some beautiful instruments in the wall through an open door. I walked in and heard Reuben sharing knowledge and teaching a little boy some chords and giving him encouragement to keep practicing. It reminded me so of when I was a keiki and mom was teaching me ukulele and we would play together and sing every Friday night. Long story short- I ended up buying an awesome Amahi travel ukulele from Reuben. His aloha spirit and positive energy are infectious and he cares about what he does and it shows. So keep up the good work Uncle Reuben- I appreciate you and what you do.
Two of the greatest gifts I have ever given my wife!
1. A ukulele
2. Lessons from Reuben at Maui Music Mission!
It has enhanced and changed both of our lives! We have magic moments of our time on Maui and the joy of music that fills our hearts and souls with ALOHA!! The amount of pride that we share is incredible!!
Many mahalos!!
10. Bounty Music
Address: 111 Hana Hwy #105, Kahului, HI 96732 , Napili-Honokowai , Hawaii , United States
Personable workers. Small shop but provided what we wanted and tuned the instrument for us prior to sell.
This store may be small but they’re packed to the gills with everything. The staff was super cool and not pushy at all. I bought a Grestch resonator and wanted a case too. They could have sold me an expensive hard case, which was what I originally preferred because I was concerned with protection for the flight home. Instead they got me into the right case that was about half the price of the expensive one. He explained that the soft exterior case worth the hard case interior would let me carry it on the plane instead of going into the belly where we all know what happens to luggage in there. They did the right thing for me and the good of the guitar instead of just chasing the dollar. Mahalo! I will visit their store every time I come to Maui. And I will recommend their store to anyone wanting a good music store experience.
Bought our daughter her first ukelele! Very helpful and directed me to a great starter one instead of trying to sell me something that would be overkill for a beginner. Will get probably a couple more for my other kids next time we go there!
Very patient salesperson. Explored all possibilities for purchasing. Very nice selection of instruments to choose from. Overall very pleasant experience. Been patronizing Bounty Music since the 1980’s
Great selection of ukuleles and guitars. They also have a few keyboards. They had very few mandolin, violins, and other instruments. They had all types of ukulele, for kids, beginners, and high end instruments.
Small selection of instruments, but the people who work there are really nice. The more you come in the more they’ll work with you. It’s nice to have a music store on Maui.
You find Aloha inside the people at Bounty Music.
Wide variety of instrument TYPES here yet a very limited selection in terms of brands available. Speakers are very overpriced. Microphone selection is almost completely absent, absolutely zero equipment geared for DJs, no vinyl merchandise that I could see, no stylus’ or slipmats, guitar selection was literally only guitars and 80% were Epiphone, the rest were Fender or Squire. No Jackson. No Spectre. I didn’t see a single Bass anywhere in the store. Picks are well priced however they are double the cost of any mainland guitar/music store I’ve ever been to.
Disregarding some snobby customers/regulars comments and an extremely racist remark referring to me as a terrorist, this shop is perfect for a gentrified Hawaiian or any white person from the southern United States to come and talk story/trash with some not-so-local-locals.
The clerk was pretty friendly but followed me around the store after I bought two of the only type of jazz picks they had in stock as if I was going to pocket an amplifier… Won’t be returning.
I suggest ordering online or going to Kihei/Lahaina/any other guitar store for your needs. PROFESSIONAL DJs NEED NOT STOP BY THIS ONE.
Went in to Bounty Music for new Ukelele strings on Christmas Eve. The young man that “assisted” us was incredibly rude! Initially, he was troubled by the fact that there were two wound strings on my ukulele. Then, after not being able to locate the matching set of strings, he stated that he would just “eyeball it”. He became even more rude after the young lady told him to verify by speaking to someone else. He refused. We were so offended, we left. Not enough room to finish my review..
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!
11. Nāpili Market
Address: 5095 Napilihau St, Lahaina, HI 96761 , Napili-Honokowai , Hawaii , United States
Convenient, & small enough to navigate quickly. Maui is spendy pretty much anywhere you shop so you shouldn’t be surprised that prices are higher.
I just wish the prices were a little less
Great quality produce and food, if youre coming for the Poke its not out until 930am. Mini version of a Safeway on the west side of the island
It is a small and convenient Foodland.
Decent prices
Small grocery store with limited choices. The hot food selection is good. Not very busym
Very expensive store I call this place, $3.00 more store. everything in here is $3.00 more compared to other local grocery stores $$$$$$$
I rushed to Napili market tonight from home (1 block distance) for 2 items to complete my husband’s Father’s Day! when I arrived at the front door at 8:54 I was not allowed in by the gentleman standing at the door. I showed him the time on my phone and pointed to the sign posted on the door for customers. I also mentioned I was there for 2 items but he proceeded to tell me he was following his store leader or managers orders. Closing time as posted on sign says 9:00pm ….I’ve worked retail before therefore I’m well aware customer’s may still enter the store. I’m very disappointed in the way your employees handled themselves.

12. Island Time Tattoo
Address: 5095 Napilihau St #203, Lahaina, HI 96761 , Napili-Honokowai , Hawaii , United States
My wife and I both got a tattoo (First one for me). Alex walked through the concept, sketch, color, and process every step of the way. He was very detailed and knowledgeable, and a pleasure to meet and chat with.
He made the entire process simple and rememberable. We both love the finished product and will be coming back again whenever we are back in Maui.
Highly Recommend !!!
Love the art work. Alex is awesome.
Me and my husband came in as walking, Alex was so nice and was able to attend us right away! The tattoos came out perfect, just as we hoped! This was our souvenir for a lifetime!! Thank you!
13. West Maui Gold & Loan
Address: 1000 Limahana Pl Suite K, Lahaina, HI 96761 , Napili-Honokowai , Hawaii , United States
The Team at West Maui Gold and Loan professional courteous and kind. The have an amazing selection of Phones, Tablets, Notebooks, Laptops Cameras, and soo much more. And that’s not even mentioning the Jewelry. Each department has its own Certified Professional Tech. The sales super friendly, and knowledgeable about the inventory and pricing. Also they are extremely patient because the3y even put up with me. Love this place,,,, Christopher Shops here and I thought I saw Maui Phone Boss.
Great shop
Love this pawn shop! Nice selection of knives. Dan was very friendly and accommodating.
Went in and did not know what to expect. They treated me well and I was happy with the deal. I may even go back and buy some things in there.
The boss wasn’t there and I need a loan asap.
Who doesn’t want to thrift shop musical instruments while on vacation?? Well don’t do it here!! We were considering a soprano Kala Ukulele. There was no price on it. We googled it and it was 58.99 brand new so we thought maybe 30.00 at a pawn shop. When we asked the price he said 175.00 but would let it go for 150.00!!! Are you joking??? my wife is an experienced musician and music teacher and owns 3 ukuleles. We are not stupid!! When we told him what they sold for brand new he got a serious attitude and when from very nice to super snotty. Needless to say we left immediately. We went to Lahanai music down the street and the price new was under 70.00. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!
If you like to sell or buy stolen items this place is for you. The owner is a sleaze. I was paying on an item as agreed upon, and when I went in to pay it off, was told that it was sold. The owner said he was going to look into who bought it and try and get it back. He never even made an attempt. Do not do business with this place they will rob you blind. The place employees thieves and drug addicts. DON’T GO HERE!
