    The afternoon tea service was amazing - the food was delicious and we all left full to the gills on the basic tea service. The local flair to the teas makes it unique, as does the incredible scenery. Highly recommend!

    High tea at the Moana Surfrider is a must if you enjoy dressing up, sipping tea, munching on delectable sandwiches and desserts, while retreating to a time of refinement and relaxation.

    Delightful setting for high tea. Food, service and ambiance are highest quality. The perfect occasion to shed your shorts and t shirts, pop on a nice outfit and be transported back to a more refined era.

    I was here for the Afternoon Tea. What a treat for a gluten free woman! It’s really special when a restaurant takes the time to compose both a GF option and vegan option that are as appealing as the standard menu. I loved it. Excellent knowledgeable service and an unbeatable environment and view. Yeah, it’s a splurge but if you like to occasionally treat yourself, I’d go here.

    I was overjoyed during my vacation to Hawaii to have been able to visit the veranda for high tea. I am a tea connoisseur, and I tried to visit T rooms when I am in those locations. I really enjoyed the ambience, the food selection, the loose tea selection And of course the service. I definitely will make this a stop for me when in Hawaii Mahalo.

    アフタヌーンティーの案内があり、スマホでQRコードを読み込んで、日時や人数など簡単入力で予約ができて便利でした。日本語にも対応していて助かりました。 日本語のメニューや4種類ほどの茶葉を実際に見せてくださり、とても親切でした。 海辺のテーブル席を準備していただき、憧れだったモアナラーフサイダーさんでのアフタヌーンティーを家族で過ごせました。 お料理も一品一品丁寧な説明をしてくださり、とても美味しかったです。 メネフネのお土産は娘も大喜びで私も嬉しくなりました。 また伺いたいです。
