Shave ice with vanilla ice cream is probably one of the greatest frozen concoctions known to man.

we hit up one shack on the road to Hana (recommended in Maui revealed) that I can still taste... I wish I could bottle that chit and take it home with me!!

I thought the same thing...and I totally agree.

MMMmmmm.....only thing better is Shave Ice with Macadamia Nut ice cream!!! I haven't hit that shack but man, the best Shave Ice I had in Maui was in the Kihei / Wailea area....Toby's....line out the door! Awesome stuff.

Fortunately, I've found a place out here in Gardena, CA that serves up equally authentic and yummy Shave Ice...seriously puts a few places I've been to in Hawaii to shame. 4Real. Teri Hawaii is the place, over on Artesia Blvd. right by the 110 Freeway onramp.

Regarding the Big Island...it's nice, you're right....but Kauai is still the best IMO.

If you come to Maui we can herf and I can play tour guide for you. PM me if you want any info on where to stay/what to do. Haven't been to Kauai yet, but I know that there is lots to do on Maui that avoids crowds and "touristy" places, if you know where to look. Lots of awesome hikes and good snorkeling, since thats what you're into. The whales are amazing, went diving two days ago and the whales singing was actually vibrating my chest cavity...really freakin cool!
