Aloha Stadium Swap Meet

A large open-air market in the ring road around Aloha Stadium.

Aloha Stadium Swap Meet

Why go

It is the cheapest place on the island to buy anything to take home, and it is three times the size it looks.

The catch

Three days a week only, and the stadium has been shut and partly demolished, so confirm the market is still running before you go. It is a car park in full sun and most of the stock is imported.

Before you go

  • Closed Monday and Tuesday and Thursday and Friday
  • Busiest at weekends

Getting there

Driving times on real roads, from the same data the trip planner routes on — not straight-line distance.

From Waikīkī26 min11.8 miles
From HNL airport26 min9.2 miles
From Downtown Honolulu19 min8.5 miles
From Ala Moana21 min9.8 miles

Add traffic. These are free-flowing times, and the H1 through town at eight in the morning is not free-flowing.
