We did this cruise in December 2018 we did a bunch of research before we left. If you are looking for shopping near the ports you will be sadly disappointed. It is an American port and they don’t let the hawkers near there due to security. When you go to Maui there is a shopping area near the port you just have to walk a little bit down a walkway that is clearly marked. Honolulu there is nothing close for walking distance you will need a cab or uber. Kona is a tender port and they have shopping right in the port area. Kona Brewing Company is within walking distance and is fabulous. Hilo you will either need to take a uber, taxi, or the hop on hop off bus. Eat at moes fish and chips in Hilo best fish and chips I have ever had. Only catch of the day.
