One of the most interesting shops in Hawaii. It's filled with art from exotic islands in the Pacific Ocean, really unique souvenirs and show pieces. There so much to browse, it's almost like a museum.
Since 2002, Jim, Vicki and Dylan’s epic voyages aboard Yacht Firebird and Yacht Compadre have inspired Havaiki Oceanic and Tribal Art, a collection of treasures from the countries of Oceania, the land of betel nut, crocodiles and headhunters. Many items are museum quality, or made using centuries-old techniques. All are one of a kind, including masks, tikis and contemporary jewelry influenced by primitive designs. What’s more, every table, sculpture, calabash, necklace comes with an interesting story. Fantastic and beautiful items that are rich in traditional culture, spirit and mana.
