The cutest little shaved ice spot I've ever been to! I went with the small size, but wow, it was huge--way more than I expected! The small is definitely big enough to share, so if you're with a friend or two, definitely try ordering two instead of one. I decided to eat inside rather than outside, which turned out to be a smart choice. My ice lasted much longer than most because of it. I can only imagine if I had stepped outside in that Hawaiian heat and humidity, my shaved ice would have melted in about two seconds!
What really makes this place special is their flavors--they're all made with real sugar cane, and there's such a wide variety to choose from. I had the hardest time picking, but finally decided to make my own mix: tigers blood, coconut, and blue raspberry. It was the perfect combination of tropical sweetness and refreshing flavors!
Another cool thing about their shaved ice is that you get to choose up to three flavors, so make sure you take full advantage of that and experiment with different combinations. You can create your perfect flavor profile, This place is definitely a must-try for anyone looking to cool off and indulge in a sweet, refreshing treat!

They display Rosani’s ice cream, but we saw them switching the carton and it’s Meadow Gold that they use in the shaved ice. You’re better off going to a place that uses natural flavors.

Some of the most flavorful shaved ice that I've ever had! Great outdoor setup too.

Great place for shave ice! Tons of flavours, reasonably priced, and the girl working there (Saturday afternoon, Jan 4th) was friendly, helpful and did a great job (management should be very happy with her, she restocked, cleaned up, and provided great customer service). All and all highly recommend.

Artificially flavored shave ice, and from memory there were no special toppings available. No seating available, but the local coffee shop next door has seating. Pricing was in line with other shave ice stands.

There are NO organic or real fruit syrups - it’s all artificial syrups you can buy from Costco or Amazon and eat on ice DONT waste your time

Caramel creme ice cream here is one of the best ice creams I've ever had. Kids enjoyed their shaved ice. Servers were friendly.

Nice local place I had the coconut and mango with sweet cream shaved ice it was just right not too sweet.
This was what we all needed on an extremely hot day. It was a nice sized bowl, and it was super tasty. Found this place on accident, and now it will be on our rotation when we go back.

This is our favorite shave ice location. The employees are very kind and patient. The ice is just right, like snow. The syrups are fresh and kept refrigerated. The location is kept clean all the time. We love the Surfing Monkey!

Amazing shave ice but the mix the flavors to much but the service is good
Parking: Parking lot is behind paia fish house and about a 2 minute walk
Very good! For artificial flavoring, it was yummy! I got 1/2 pineapple and 1/2 strawberry shave ice in the smallest size. My mom got a root beer float. My shave ice was HUGE for the price. I almost couldn’t finish it. The root beer was so delicious and fresh. It was made on the island, which is really cool!
Kid-friendliness: The food is very friendly to kids! Bright colors and everything. Our server was very nice and everything. However, she was wearing a VERY low cut shirt. I am young and used to that though.
