Black Friday in Waikiki: Where to Shop (2025)

Royal Hawaiian Center, International Market Place, and Ala Moana — how to plan it without stress.

Black Friday in Waikiki is walkable and sunny — skip the chaos, do coffee first, then hit the malls in a sane loop.

5‑Stop Shopping Loop

  1. Honolulu Coffee Co — Hawaiian Latte power‑up before the crowds.
  2. Royal Hawaiian Center — Flagship brands and shaded courtyards; easy in/out.
  3. International Market Place — Open‑air, covered walkways; great mix of stores.
  4. Ala Moana Center — Big‑ticket browsing; navigate by levels to avoid backtracking.
  5. Waikele Premium Outlets — Only if you want deep outlet runs; rideshare out/back.

Pro tip: Book Chip on Wednesday so you can coast through Friday with a smile.
