I really enjoyed shopping here. There were plenty of fun stores and some great deals. I got into a scrape with one of the vendors, though. I expressed some interest in a ladies' necklace, and the vendor tried to bargain the price down for me. I'm used to marketplace bargaining, but in the end, I didn't like the necklace enough... More

Our cab driver dropped us off at the Duke's Row entrance and suggested we do the stalls there and then go inside the actual market. We were after Hawaiian attire without paying premium shop prices and also some inexpensive souvenirs for my spouse's co-workers and relatives back home. The little kiosks in this area were all pretty much the same... More

So many carts and kiosks to ponder. Unfortunately many of them sell the same or similar items. You can get a great deal if you bargain. Check out their little food court. Good variety of foods to try, and catch one of their nightly shows. More

We went to the international marketplace twice. The first time was on a Thursday, they had a farmer's market from 4-8pm, we enjoyed some local malasadas and fresh fruit. Then we headed to the food court area that had a free show called voyage through polynesia at 7pm, it was great!!! The food was pretty good as well, we had... More

We had heard so much about the International Market place that we were determined to go there. Caught the bus from outside the Ilikai Hotel. On the way there we also collected the bus time tables from the only McDonalds at the Turner Center 2237 Kuhio that stocks these. The International Market is also called the Duke's Marketplace as it... More

I didn't gave it an average rating because it's pretty much the same merchandise even though they have tons of vendors. There were a few interesting kiosks and vendors, there was this Jolie sandals, that I have not seen before. Got a few pairs of flip flops there. The food court was just ok, even though they tried to cover... More

This was the first place we visited and it gave us an introduction to the island shopping experience. I like the banyan trees and the outdoor tropical look. My wife like the shopping. We tried eating some dinner there but the pigeons kept harassing us. The Swap Meet is cheaper for the same products. If you are near the Waikiki... More

If you shop with vendors you must baragain don't settlr for first price. I highly recommend if you have transportation to shop at the Honolulu stadium swap meet, that is the best for pricing. More
