Fantastic array of handmade kites for a very reasonable price with all things considered. The staff here are incredibly friendly and even gave us a behind the scenes tour. Attached as well is a gift store with all types of goodies. Definitely worth the drive from town!

My family and I had such a delightful time chatting with Ruby! We learned so much about so much!!! Everything from the unique art and kites in the shop to some of the history of the island to not-to-miss stops! So glad that we stopped in!

Big Wind Kite Factory is an absolute gem on Molokai! Beautiful, colorful, handmade kites and windsocks. Looking forward to seeing our vibrant gecko windsock on our deck for years to come.
