Old Lahaina Shave Ice

A fun experience when in Hawaii! Be prepared to wait in line, but the shave ice is a fun and delicious treat. I highly recommend getting the ice cream at the bottom, and getting vibrant flavors cherry, blue raspberry, pineapple, etc. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

Absolutely the best! Take any shave ice you've ever tried (whether it’s from Bahama-Bucks, Matsumoto’s, or your local spot) and imagine it at a 5! All the syrups are incredibly fresh and delicious, the ice is made locally, and it’s so soft and perfect. We visited six times in just six days! On our last visit, they mistakenly mixed up my order, so they gave us the ones they got wrong, plus the correct one and an extra bowl of Macadamia Nuts! The line can be long, but it’s definitely worth the wait.

Ululani is a great place to get some ice cream. They have a large number of flavors, but they are busy so they are often made from certain ice or azuki beans. We tried the heupia ice cream with ours and loved it because it is basically coconut ice cream, which is really good with razor ice cream. Very refreshing on a hot Maui day :

Great service, really delicious. This is the first time I've had shaved ice and it was a lot smoother and more flavorful than I expected. Snow cones? Pff get out of town, shaved ice is way better.

A great tip: don't worry too much about the ice base or the snow cap—try the unbeteed version first. The "Ululani" size is perfect for sharing between two people, or if you're feeling extra hungry, one person can easily finish it on their own. If they don’t add enough syrup, they'll gladly top it up for free, which was no issue for us at all. For those watching their sugar intake, there are several sugar-free options available. Additionally, there are plenty of sheltered seating options a bit further back from the road—just keep walking until you find them!
