In terms of value, you get a very substantial amount for the price you pay. (Just a tip, the $/oz ratio decreases the larger the bowl you order so try to get multiple smalls if you find yourself wanting a large.)

I HIGHLY recommend the Pina Colada flavor it was so creamy and flavorful.

Rainbow Bliss at Waiola: The Best Shave Ice in Oahu's Waikiki!

Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 28, 2023

I made an effort to try a different shave ice spot every day of my Oahu trip since it’s one of their staple desserts. I really wanted to hit up Matsumotos, but unfortunately, I didn’t make it in time while in the North Shore. One of the locals I met recommended Waiola instead, insisting that it was even better and suggesting I try the Obama Rainbow, which he claimed was the best flavor.

So, I checked out Waiola. There was a bit of a line, but it was still only about a 10-minute wait, and the wait was worth it. The Obama Rainbow didn’t disappoint. I ordered it with condensed milk drizzled on top, and my taste buds were literally dancing on rainbows. The ice was so soft and fluffy, and the lemon lime flavor of the rainbow really made the dish amazing. I think I could order the large size of just the lemon lime flavor and be in heaven.

It’s definitely worth checking out while in Oahu if you’re staying near Waikiki!

Waiola Shave Ice: A Nostalgic Summer Delight with a Burst of Flavors!

Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 28, 2023

Small kid time- not really but Waiola Shave Ice is perfect for pretending you’re a kid again, minus the rubber slippers. After working out or a swim at Ala Moana, check out Waiola to remember the good times. Strawberry, coconut or passion fruit “lilikoi” (lots of other flavors), add red bean (an) and ice cream for a delightful summer treat! The only sad part is not eating it quickly enough before some of it melts. Try the rainbow flavor or the Obama (cherry, lemon lime and passion fruit). Add some li hi mui as a nice dessert!
