About
On Oahu, Pāpālua Shave Ice is a café at the Disney Resort & Spa, 92-1185 Ali'Inui Drive Aulani, A, in Kapolei.

Guests rate Pāpālua Shave Ice 3.9 out of 5 from 58 reviews, a mixed but solid response. The café is known for its shave ice, a Hawaiian staple that appears across the islands in many forms. Its position inside the Aulani resort means it serves guests staying on the property as well as visitors passing through Kapolei.
Reaching the venue from Honolulu or Waikiki involves a drive west, and the trip takes visitors past Pearl Harbor. The café maintains a page at https://www.disneyaulani.com/dining/papalua-shave-ice?CMP=OKC-15547784_GM_AUL_restaurant_P%C4%81p%C4%81luaShaveIce_NA. Kapolei sits on the drier leeward side of Oahu, where the weather is typically sunnier than the windward coast.
Hawaii's islands are not linked by road or regular ferry, so travel between them is by air, which matters for anyone planning to combine Oahu with another island. Lei garlands made from flowers or shells are given in Hawaii to mark greetings, birthdays and graduations, a custom visitors often encounter. Spam, rice and macaroni salad appear widely in Hawaiian home cooking and lunch plates, and shave ice fits naturally into that same casual eating tradition.
