Mahalo for ordering from us.
We're a small family operation, and we harvest fruit only when it's at peak — which means the cases we ship in late May look a little different from the ones we ship in late June. Size, color, and sweetness shift week to week as the season progresses. That's how real, tree-ripened fruit works.
We grade carefully before anything leaves the farm, and we never freeze our fruit or treat it with preservatives or dyes. If you've only had supermarket lychee, expect more variation — and a lot more flavor.
And, if you have questions please reachout, we are always here to help!

I have bought their lychees over the past years and this year. Their lychees have been my favorite I bought 4 boxes so far this year but this 4th box I have been waiting for 10 days to get it, I recieve today the 8th and 40% of the lychees are very dark brown close to black they are bad and smell bad. I have attach the pictures to show how bad there are. I'm so disappointed I have to throw away most of them. 😭
We are very sorry that your order was delayed due to a shipment delay with FedEx and was no longer fresh upon delivery and not a representation of our quality. We hope the replacement that was provided meets your expectations.
Absolutely amazing! It is incredibly juicy, sweet, and fresh, and has a very small seed. Highly recommend!
It was very sweet and very yummy 😋. Thank you for sharing and providing lychee to people on the mainland.
-your favorite customer!
It is fresh and sweet
Always delivered fresh and fast. Amazing product
at least 20% is rotten, some even have worms crawling on them, ewwww
We're sorry about your experience and completely understand the frustration. The larvae you're seeing are from fruit fly stings — we grade carefully to remove them, but late in the season with heavy rain they can be difficult to spot on wet fruit. We reached out right away, addressed the issue, and issued a refund for the damaged portion. We take quality seriously and appreciate the feedback as it helps us improve.
Wowww…Amazingly juicy and fresh!!! We shared them with friends and relatives and everyone wanted information on how to get more!
I just received a box this morning and what a DISAPPOINTMENT. I was expecting the quality that we used to get growing up on Oahu. Neighbors with trees would give us tons of lychee during season and they were nothing like the rotten garbage I received from your company. I don't really believe that these lychee were even grown in Hawaii. Over half the box is rotten and smelly. The other fruit that are just not rotten taste terrible probably because they were shipped with rotting fruit. I have taken photos and will send them to you at the email address you gave another distressed customer: [****]. I expect a full refund for this disaster.
We're sorry to hear this. We always ship freshly harvested fruit, but extreme heat this week affected a number of deliveries. We reached out right away and issued a full refund. We wish you the best.
One of the best lychee I've ever had. First time trying this cultivar and I was quite satisfied with my order.
Lychee is good, but at least 10% of the lychee was damaged when arrived. Having just one single layer of cushion on the top of the package does not protect lychee that is at the bottom of the package. Some of them were crushed completely during transportation. The lack of ice bag or equivalent cooling item made the package smelled like rotten food upon delivery
Thank you for the feedback. We're glad the fruit itself was enjoyable! On packaging — we wish we could do more. Our fruit undergoes e-beam treatment and must comply with USDA regulations, which significantly limits our options. Ice packs and additional cushioning materials aren't currently approved for use with our shipments, though it's something we're actively working to improve. For future orders, please don't hesitate to email us directly — we're always happy to help address any concerns.
Poorly packaged at least 20 percent of the fruits were rotten. The box smells like fermentation and some of fruits are fizzy
Hi, we're sorry this shipment didn't meet expectations — we reached out right away and were happy to make it right. As a note, our packaging is regulated by USDA requirements due to the e-beam treatment the fruit undergoes, which limits what we're able to use. It's something we're actively working to improve.
After I posted my previous review, the seller not only replied publicly but also reached out to me privately to apologize and ask for more details about what happened. They sincerely asked whether I would prefer a refund or a replacement box of lychees. I really appreciated how professional and genuine they were.
The reason I didn’t contact them before leaving my 3-star review was because I understand that shipping fresh fruit is challenging, and occasional issues can happen. I also felt the seller was very busy, so instead of complaining, I simply shared my honest experience when I received the review invitation.
This experience showed me that not only are their lychees delicious, but they also stand behind their products with excellent customer service. The fruit tastes great, the shipping is generally well handled, and their after-sales support is thoughtful and responsive.
For that reason, I’m happy to update my rating to 5 stars. Looking forward to next year’s lychee season!
After moving away from Hawaii, I've always missed the Hawaiian lychees. I was thrilled to finally find Hulabrothers shipping them, but waited three years and they don't have any in stock. This year, I finally managed to get some. The taste is still familiar—just as sweet, with large flesh and a small seed. Although they aren't as fresh as those bought locally, they're still excellent. I've already ordered 20 pounds this year.
Ordered on 6/15. Have not received my shippment
Hi Beryl, we're sorry for the delay in your order — this season's harvest came in slower than expected in the early weeks, which pushed back some shipments. Your order is on its way and we hope you love the fruit. Please reach out to us directly via email if you have any further questions.
Half of the fruit was bad and had to be thrown away, and the other half was sour—disappointed and expenses. I won’t order from here anymore, not like the pictures on the website.
Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the Kaimana Lychee. We truly aim for quality and would appreciate the chance to make this right. Please contact us directly so we can address your concerns. Thank you for your feedback.Hi Alice, we're sorry to hear this — this is not the experience we want for any customer. We include instructions with every order asking customers to reach out to us directly so we can make it right. We'd still love the chance to help. Please email us at fruit@hulabrothers.com and we'll take care of you.
Very disappointed! Most of the lychees I bought this time are sour and not very sweet,taste like watery . For $199, it really doesn’t feel worth it.
Thank you for your feedback, Yanjuan. We're sorry this batch didn't hit the sweetness you were hoping for — lychee flavor does vary with the season, and we know that's frustrating when the price is this high. We've worked with you on previous orders and always want our customers to feel good about their experience. That said, if the natural variability in fresh lychee makes it hard to enjoy consistently, it may be worth exploring other sources that better match what you're looking for. We genuinely wish you the best and appreciate that you've ordered with us over the years.

OMG, those were so good! I don’t believe I ate the whole box by myself in 5 days…..am SOooooo ready to do it again. They arrive and I immediately washed them, let them dry and then put them in the fridge. Am not sure how many there are, but think it was over 200. After a good chillin, the carnage began. I haven’t had fresh lychee in so many years and was surprised at how much I just ravished through them all, I looked forward to the twice daily ~20 lychee servings, especially after a long walk in the Texas sun. Was refreshing and very juicy, There will be a few not so ono ones and you will quickly learn how to tell by feel, but this is to be expected. Overall, I am so static to have gotten the opportunity and pleasure to enjoy. Thank you Hula Brothers for the quality fruit of the Hawaiian Gods!
Amazing
Excellent flavor and fast shipping.
We used to buy lychees out of the back of a truck at the guy by Costco when we lived in Honolulu - picked up from the airport that morning! These are just as good and honestly, they seem to last longer when we followed the storage instructions. Definitely easier than getting on the plane and flying to Hawaii. Very expensive but it's our one guilty summer pleasure!
Best lychee ever
My Kaimana lychees arrived in perfect condition. I washed them as soon as I received them and couldn’t wait to try them. They were incredibly sweet, juicy, and full of flavor. Every lychee tasted fresh and delicious. You can really tell they were carefully grown and harvested at the right time. Thank you for providing such high-quality fruit—I thoroughly enjoyed them and would definitely order again!
Nearly every single lychee tasted amazing. I haven't had this good of lychee since my childhood trips to Asia. Absolutely worth it. Each lychee was so sweet, plump, and juice. Shipped so quickly.
Delicious
The lychees were perfect: sweet, juicy, and many of them had small seeds. I will definitely order from Hula Brothers again.
Quite a bit damaged this time, Almost 1/5 of the lychee got affected and was broken or leaky upon arrival, the rest of the lychee mostly still tastes good and sweet, but still have a few sour and weird tasted ones.
Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the lychee. We aim for quality and freshness, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please feel free to contact us directly so we can address this issue and make it right. Thank you for your feedback!
