Hau Tree

A Hawaii vacation doesn't take a lunch break-it's part of the fun and many pleasures of the Mauna Kea experience. Enjoy time out of the sunshine relaxing oceanside at Hau Tree restaurant. The menu includes delicious sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, island-fresh salads and ice cream treats including Mauna Kea's famous and refreshing Ovaltine Froth. And if there's ever been a better barstool for watching a perfect Pacific sunset, we don't know where it is. Hau Tree's Gazebo Bar on Kauna‘oa Bay is just about the best spot anywhere for a smooth tropical cocktail, and you have to try our signature drink, the Fredrico while trying to catch a glimpse of the elusive green flash. A longstanding tradition that's still the Big Island's most remarkable seafood buffet, the Mauna Kea Clambake at Hau Tree each Saturday evening is romantic al fresco dining just like you remember, beachside under the stars.
