Hoku Lani Shaved Ice

This family-owned shaved ice shop brings authentic Hawaiian flavors to Hurricane with house-made syrups that aren't overly sweet and ice so fine it melts on your tongue. The owners clearly take pride in their craft. They use fresh fruit, premium ice cream, coconut condensed milk, and real whipped cream as toppings.

You'll find unique flavors alongside the classics, and everything tastes homemade.

The husband-and-wife team running the place are genuinely friendly people who'll help you navigate the menu and make sure you're comfortable while you eat. They've created a welcoming spot where families feel at home. Kids can explore adventurous flavor combinations without breaking the bank.

Why it stands out

Located in Hurricane, it's a perfect cool-down stop after exploring the red rock country around Zion National Park. The quality rivals what you'd find in Hawaii. Locals say it reminds them of Matsumoto's, but you don't have to fly across the Pacific to get it. The soft, fluffy ice and balanced syrups make this a standout treat in southern Utah's desert climate.
