I’m not sure what they served my husband but I am certain it was not shave ice. Whatever they put on top of the ice was thick, gooey, and literally turned it to a wet toilet paper texture. He couldn’t eat it.
I have a photo for reference and will try to post it in the comments.

My kids LOVED this spot and it’s all organic! Our favorite shaved ice spot in town.

Was excited to try Kaimana since we were nearby and didn’t want to wait in line at more mainstream shaved ice locations. Ordered mango and pineapple with ice cream. The syrup was strangely bland. Not good, not bad, just flavorless - vanilla ice cream was completely melted. After a few bites, we did not want to eat anymore. Cravings not fixed, we ended up waiting in line at a different location 😭

Delicious shave ice! Very friendly staff! Perfect dessert option after a good meal in one of the food trucks around there. Thank you!

Omg I think I found the best shave ice place. Personally I don’t like shave ice because I don’t like the syrup taste but I got Lilikoi and Acai was so good. Good combination too. I’m pretty sure they use actual fruit for syrup. Definitely coming back when I want to eat shave ice. Staff was very nice.

Stopped by this spot as it was close to one of our favorite shrimp trucks and man, this was amazing. Their shaved ice is packed with delicious flavors and the flavoring isn’t overly sweet. We really liked the way they put ice cream at the bottom of the shaved ice. The macadamia nut ice cream paired well with their mango flavors too! The ice itself is so smooth and airy. Some of the best shaved ice I’ve had in Honolulu. They also have an outdoor sitting area with a pond. Definitely a great spot to try!

Perfect level of not-too-sweet shave ice and cute little seating area by a pond in the back.

Real quality shave ice with real fruit juice vs. syrups and it really makes a difference in the flavor! Favorite shave ice on the island.

I thought Ululani's was good. Holy moly, this place is on another level of delicious shave ice.
While they are a more granular shave ice (I prefer silky/fine ice), the flavors and quality of the ingredients are well beyond what we expected of Hawaiian shave ice.
Service is fantastic, quick, and friendly. The geckos around the shop add to the enjoyment of this cute shop. Then, you get your shave ice and are blown away with something that's supposed to simply be shaved ice flakes/granules with flavor splashed on.
Nope, it's not simple. Strawberry has actual strawberry infused. Lychee has actual lychees. Matcha? Yep, that's real matcha. The ice creams are also delicious and complement the ice so well. The complexity of this treat is incredible at Kaimana.
I wish they weren't only on the North Shore, so I could have more tomorrow. It's damned near perfect. Maybe it's intentional, but if they could get the granular ice to be finer like Ululani's they would probably be the most perfect shave ice in the world.
Regardless, they're the best shave ice I've ever had so far.

My wife and I tried 5 different shave ice stores across Oahu and the Big Island, and this one was absolutely our favorite. You can tell the fruit syrups actually use real fruit, and they don't skip on toppings or presentation. And only $8.50 after adding mochi and ice cream!
The only criticism is I'd really like a spoon instead of the popsicle stick I was given, it made it a bit harder to eat. But having the straw to slurp up the liquid was definitely appreciated!
Ordered the North Shore with sweet cream and banana ice cream and it was super good! This place is one of our favorite shave ice places, and the backyard area is super cool to relax under the trees by the stream. Definitely recommend!

I was so impressed with this shave ice! We got lychee and strawberry with Mac nut ice cream, cream top, mochi and li hing powder. The lychee and strawberry syrups were so yummy and tasted like the actual fruits unlike most shops using artificial flavorings. The ladies told me it’s because they use the real fruits to make their syrups! Mochi was nice and soft and the Mac nut ice cream was sooo creamy and nutty. I do love the texture of Waiola shave ice, but Kaimana’s syrups and ice cream will have me coming back for sure.
