Kona Lei welcoming,
Thank you for the warm welcoming we received! Great welcoming!! She helped us to where to find the baggage claim and where to go for the car rental pickup. Very friendly and helpful. Asked if we needed anything else she could do.
Thank you for the warm welcome!!!!

Mahalo Nui Loa!

We loved being greeted at the airport with these beautiful flower Leis. We were excited to get in the spirit of being in Hawaii.
The flowers were so pretty. The kids really liked being greeted and given the flowers.
I signed up because I wanted to enjoy the atmosphere as soon as we arrived. I kept the application a secret from my family, so it was a surprise. I'm glad the kids were happy too.
せっかくの到着。少しでも雰囲気を楽しみたく申し込みました
家族には申し込みを黙っていた為、サプライズです
子供も喜んでくれて良かったです
My wife and I decided to take our children, their spouses and all the grandchildren on a family vacation to Hawaii. I remembered the nice welcome we had on our first vacation to Hawaii shortly after we were married, and I thought it would be nice to give the whole family a similar experience. Once I found someone to direct me to a possible website, the process was straight forward and easy. What I was looking for was being offered at a discount, and the price seemed right. The instructions were easy to follow, but without mentioning anything to the family, our grandchildren happened to find people holding up our sign first. The hostesses were ready for us with 10 aloha welcomes and beautiful orchid leis (of which 3 were upgraded further, for the mothers). The kids were all pleased and our youngest wore here lei as part of a hairpiece a few days later and it was still looking good. Maybe this isn't needed on each trip to Hawaii, but I'm sure glad I arranged this as a first-time welcome for the grandchildren and their parents. Thanks again for making everything special for our family.
Our greeter was just outside the security terminal at Kona airport. She was holding a sign with our name on it. She was on-time, very friendly and helpful. She welcomed us to the Island, called us by our firest names and presented the Lei's over our heads. She even directed us where to go to get our luggage.
The Lei's were large, colorful and full. My concern was the condition the flowers were in. They appeared old, and wilted. For $80.00 I expected fresh flowers. We cared for them when we got to our condo and use them the next night at a Luau. They were not very pretty by then however.
When you arrive in Hawaii, you might have the image of being welcomed with a lei, but recently that has become less common, so I signed up for this service as a surprise. They were very happy, so I think it was a great start to the trip. The price is a bit on the higher side, but the staff's response was good. You don't need to speak English to be okay.
ハワイに着いたら、レイで迎えてくれるというイメージがあると思いますが、最近はそんなことが少なくなっているので、このサービスはサプライズで申込みました。
とても喜んでくれたので、旅の初めにはよかったと思います。
少し値段は高めですが、スタッフの対応もよかったです。
英語ができなくても大丈夫です。
I secretly ordered a lei service for my friend, but they didn't realize it was a surprise (laughs). The fresh flower lei was beautiful, but I wondered what to do with it after receiving it. I would love to know what others do after receiving a lei.
友達に内緒でレイサービスを頼みましたが、友達にサプライズと気づいてもらえず(苦笑)でした。
生花のレイは素敵でしたが、もらった後にどうしようと思いました。レイをもらった後に皆さんはどうしているのかまで教えてもらえたらと思いました。
It was a beautiful lei. And the person delivering it was very nice. I would do again.
I very much enjoyed the unique oppurunity to be greeted in Hawaii by a Hawaiian native. The lei greeting was fantastic, albeit, I was not expecting to have to walk through the whole terminal to find the greeter. I still highly recommend this for any first timer, honeymooners and if you're in a group. This is an excellent way to start a vacation and you can create memories right off the start. The lei was very beautiful and the scent was heavenly, my only wish was that I had received instruction on how to maintain the lei so that it would not fall apart and then wither.
Having grown up in the islands, receiving a flower lei was a custom I was used to. This being my partners first trip to the islands...it was an added treat! He is a great lover of flora and fauna and the lei greeting was a perfect start to his memorial 1st trip.
I am sure we will return again someday, and hope to make the lei greeting a part of those plans too.
Oh, it was a total surprise for him, and he was well pleased! Our service was prompt and our greeter very friendly (as we found everyone on the island)!
Great for the kids and birthdays! It is what it is.
I found Hawaii Activities on the internet and went with it. I was a little worried that I was not going to get what I paid for but I was more than pleasantly surprised. When we arrived our Greeter was there with the sign just like the instructions said they would be. It was a simple pleasure for my family, especially my daughter. The woman who greeted us was beautiful and as kind as anyone we've ever met! We couldn't have asked for a better welcome to Hawaii. Thank you!
Excellent suprise for someone coming to Hawaii. Everyone daydreams about receiving a flower lei when they go to Hawaii and with this service it can happen. We took our mother in law to Hawaii for her first time and set this up without her knowledge. She sure was surprised when we arrived in Kona!
My wife had been to Hawaii once before and did not get a lei greeting then. (This was before we had met). I wanted to surprise her, so I set up the service without her knowledge. When we deplaned and walked toward baggage claim, I saw the greeter and pointed my wife in her direction. She was completely surprised and this was the perfect start to a wonderful vacation. The leis were beautiful and the young lady presenting them was great ambassador for Hawaii.
One flight was cancelled, and we had to board a different flight. The presenter was waiting for us when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful even though we arrived later than planned.
Provided immediate great surprise-very pleasant and welcoming greeter
I surprised my partner with the lei service at the airport. She was so surprised. The leis were beautiful and everyone kept complementing them all day. The greeter was wonderful pleasant and help direct us to the luggage and even helped us pick-up our rental car.
It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely use the service again.
The Hawaiian greeter was so beautiful and very friendly. She directed us where to go and even helped us with our luggage. It was my husband's first time in Hawaii and that's the best way to be greeted.
The lei greeting was a surprise for my group. They were totally thrilled with the lei's. Our greeter was awesome. She welcomed us with open arms.It made arriving on the Big Island a wonderful experience for my group. The leis were beautiful. I would highly recommend for anyone to experience this for their first trip to the Big Island. It really enhances the whole Island experience.
Nice way to arrive!
My Mom and two Aunts visited the Big Island for the first time. I bought Lei's for each of them and they were greeted right off the plane with them! They were so thrilled! They thought it was just like what they had always seen on television! Thank you so much for making their arrival so special and memorable!
The beautiful look on my wife's eyes was worth every penny of this friendly welcome to Hawaii..not to mention our souvenir picture!
It was quite a surprise and she loved the lei. It was beautiful.
A great way to start our vacation!
We had to call and tell them our flight was delayed, but they were very accomodating. The flowers are beautiful. Thanks! Aloha! Pam
The lei's were beautiful and better than expected. Highly recommend this activity for initial arrival at the islands. Greeter was there as expected and had a great big Hawai'i smile. No problems.
everything was good except i was excepting a cute hawaiian lady in a blue and white outfit. not what we got. lei quality was great. a little pricy though,, but overall not bad. makes your lady think the world of you :-)
It was great to get the lei as we arrived to the Big Island. We were able to preserve it all week to wear them on our travels! The standard lei was perfect and spelled great!
