In the early 1900's, Japanese immigrants brought their tradition of shave ice to the islands where they made it for plantation workers.  From there, the love of shave ice spread across the islands.  And don't you dare call it "shaved" ice.  It's been "shave" ice since those early days in the Hawaiian Pidgin language and it always will be.

Pineapple soft serve that we serve a few different ways - in a cup/bowl, a sandwich with sugar cookies, and a float with sprite.

Sandy Beach is on the east side just around the corner from Koko Head.  Known for it's powerful shore break and incredible morning views.

Koko Head is one of the most iconic hikes on Oahu, famous for it's steep railway trail. It also has amazing sunrise views...if you can get up there early enough.

Kailua Bay was one of our favorite places to swim when you wanted a relaxing beach day. Never big waves, but you could always check out some wind-surfers.

Named after Da Big Rock at Waimea Bay. Summer is the best time to jump, but you'll probably see people there throughout the year. If you get there early enough, you might even see some dolphins circling the bay.

Named after one of the last Wet 'n Wild waterparks still on Oahu. We bought season passes when we first moved to Honolulu and after a few visits, our daughter Emery met her soon-to-be best friend, Eliana.  Because of wet 'n wild, we now have some of our dearest friends to visit, instead of just going for vacation.

Obviously named after Pearl City, but this inside joke with a mispronunciation of King Kamehameha. Uncle Burt taught us how to pronounce Pearl City. Clue...it's Pearl City.

Names after one of Hawiia's famous waterfall hikes, Manoa Falls. Not a difficult hike, but beautiful rainforest.

This is where you want to go to see some amazing surfing. You might even see some surfers on tour. The swells are legendary. Just go. Sit on the beach and watch.

A Brazilian fruit, earthy & tropical tasting cross between raspberries and blackberries with a hint of cacao.

Kid or child in Hawaiian - keiki shave ice would be a kid's size.

Raw tuna - but we like to call it a poké bowl even if it doesn't have the tuna.
