Our Story

Two decades ago, nestled in the heart of the Big Island community, a sweet journey began with a business known as Big Island Sweet Treats. From its humble beginnings, this local gem evolved over the years, creating waves of delight and flavor that would eventually transform into the beloved Gecko Girlz Shave Ice we know today. The transition was not just a change in name; it represented a deepened commitment to preserving Hawaii while enjoying local flavors.

But what truly sets Gecko Girlz apart is its commitment to the Hawaiian ecosystem. In a place as ecologically diverse and fragile as Hawaii, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a way of life. Gecko Girlz takes this responsibility seriously by implementing eco-friendly practices throughout its operations. From using biodegradable cups and utensils to sourcing local ingredients, Gecko Girlz ensures that every shave ice enjoyed under its vibrant umbrella is a step towards preserving Hawaii’s natural beauty.

Using homemade recipes and healthy, locally sourced products, they have made it their mission to seek out the freshest options to meet customers’ sweet cravings.

The use of island grown, hand selected ingredients means indulgence can also be healthy – and most importantly, fun! Families of all ages can enjoy the rainbow of authentically prepared and delicious flavors at Gecko Girlz.

Mahalo!
