  This is an island staple. You can’t come to Big Island and miss it. It is hands down the best shave ice in all of the Hawaiian islands. The syrups aren’t overly sweet and overpowering and tastes natural and the ice is so soft and powdery. I will even go as far to say that it’s better the Ululani’s!

  Never have I ever enjoyed such a massive quantity of brain freeze inducing madness! The portions are monstrous in the most delightful way! I finished every last drop of the Noelani's haupia concoction I was given. My mom has the pineapple cream special and she finished hers as well. I'm going back for dinner!

  Wide variety of flavours and combinations, very friendly service. It is usually busy but the shaved ice is amazing and well worth the line.

  After trying a number of shave ice places on both Oahu and the Big Island, I have to say this is by far the best. The quality of their ice is what makes them stand out, because it’s fluffy, almost like snow. It’s super thin and not overly packed. We ordered Mana’s Chantilly and it was so nice to have a non-fruit flavor option, like most shave ice default orders. The chocolate was super tasty, almost like a Wendy’s frosty but better. The condensed milk that dripped over the top gave a hint of sweetness and cream that paired well with the icy chocolate underneath. The macadamia nut ice cream and nut bits on the top were delicious as well, though I think it could have been even better with a cookie crumble or brownie bits. Something crispy instead of just nutty. Pro tip for seating: there are tables in the shade overlooking a lake where you can sit if you exit the store to the right and turn right, following the signs to the bathroom.
