Everything was as advertised! Flight arrival time had changed and I forgot to notify. I was worried the greeting would not happen. It did! Great job and thanks. My wife was surprised and thrilled with the beautiful lei.

This was a nice way to arrive on the Big Island. As a bonus, the woman who greeted us knew everything about the airport and rental car locations. The pink and white colored orchid leis smelled fantabulous!

I surprised my wife with a Lei greeting on our arrival in Kona. The greeter was very engaging and friendly. Her pleasant manner was a delight after a long day of travel.

The gentleman stood there with a lei, and a sign with my wife's name on it. She wasn't expecting anything, and when she figured out what was going on, a big smile spread across her face! It was well worth the price!
Aloha Steve! Thank you for taking the time to reply to us regarding your lei greeting! We take pride with giving guests to our islands a piece of the aloha spirit. Our lei makers will be notified of your wonderful review, and I am sure they will be ecstatic to provide more quality leis for years to come.
We sincerely appreciate having the opportunity to serve you, and we hope to do so again in the future!

My husband and I recently took this tour. I was honestly not expecting it to be interesting to me--I went because my husband wanted to see it. The tour of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona and Missouri was awesome. Very emotional--it was impossible not to feel the enormity of the lives lost-it is hard to describe the feelings I felt--sorrow, awe, humbled by the great service to all of us in the US. They vow never to forget and to always treat the memories with dignity and honor, and that's just what they do. I highly recommend the tour.
The rest of the tour, which involved the flight to Oahu and a bus tour of downtown Honolulu was great. We had a great bus driver who was both funny and very knowledgeable--so thoroughly enjoyed his narration of the tour as he drove us around.
One time after we got off the bus for a stop, we got confused and lost our way back--and were very relieved he waited for us before continuing on.
All around great experience!

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.

An amazing place to visit and the tour guide was excellent. Only problem was very poor coordination in getting us from Big Island to Oahu - no information on who to meet or where to go. We ended up having to phone the tour operator when we arrived in Oahu. After that though the day was amazing.

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。

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)!

As "first timers" to Oahu, the tour was perfect for us. Our driver/guide "Gar...Garfield" did an excellent job navigating the traffic of Honolulu and providing informative insights to many of the locations we saw on the tour. He had a unique perspective of the island, city and memorials from his background growing up as a native of this beautiful state.
The planning and execution of the tour allowed flexibility and diversity for the tour group.
Thank you for a great day on Oahu.
