Big Island Lei Greeting Service at Kona Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace

Airport Lei Greeting

Reviewed by: Rich, 2023/12/02

Booked the day before our arrival which was a mistake as have to pay an extra fee for short notice.

Even then the order is not guaranteed.

But it got confirmed and there was a nice man waiting for us by the baggage belt.

He welcomed us to the Island (Big Island) and wished me a Happy Birthday as this was part of our request and then presented out Leis.

We put the flowers in the fridge when we arrived at put location and on leaving the island, scattered the petals in the sea by the turtles near Waikola.

Happy with the service provided, but book early to avoid having the extra fee.

Surprise lei greeting

Reviewed by: Judy, 2023/03/04

We surprised our friends with a lei greeting at the Kona airport. And surprised they were! We were looking for someone in a special shirt (as per the email) but he was in a plain colored shirt. However, he did have a sign with their names and he did call out their names as people approached the baggage claim. The leis were GORGEOUS! Over the following days, our friends received many compliments about how pretty the flowers were. And they smelled GREAT!
HIGHLY recommend this experience. This is not the first time we've used Veltra for surprise lei greetings and each time the experience is the same....GREAT!

Lei greeting great welcome to the Big Island

Reviewed by: Chris, 2022/06/16

We were greeted by sign on the way to the baggage claim. The greeter had beautiful flower leis for us waiting and helped up put them on and also helped with directions to the baggage claim and rental car facility. It was my dad's and son's first time to Hawaii, so we wanted to do something special and it didn't disappoint.

Do it!

Reviewed by: Yohana, 2021/07/06

It was so nice to arrive at the airport and be greeted with a lei. Our greeter was so kind and offered to take a picture of our family with our leis. He seemed genuinely happy for us to have arrived on his island. This was a surprise for my family so it was great to see their faces. The leis lasted all day. Two things to note: my flight info changed at the last minute and I was nervous that I would lose the money I paid and they wouldn’t be there when we arrived. I called multiple times, but the time difference didn’t let me catch them in the office. Someone did call me about my flight change, but I was in the air. I was pleasantly surprised to see the greeter there. But definitely call them if anything like that happens to you. Secondly, (in my own little world) I was expecting to be the only one greeted, but it’s one greeter for all the people who buy this package, so we waited for the family ahead of us who were greeted and took pictures. It almost ruined the surprise for my family, but since they had no idea this was happening, they waited patiently for me to turn their attention toward the greeter. They were still surprised.

レイ・グリーティングサービス <コナ国際空港>

あれ??

Reviewed by: モコナ, 2018/09/16

空港につくと申し込みした通り名前が記載されたホワイトボードを持った女性の方がレイをかけてくれました。ただものすごく作業的に掛けて、サインをしてと言われてそそくさと帰ってしまいました。雰囲気はあまり期待できないかも。ちなみにこのサイトでは送迎サービスのところで検索結果が出てきます。私は送迎もありだと思って申し込みをしたのでレイだけもらって去られたため、タクシーでホテルに行く羽目に。。。結果プラス8000円の出費が。。(^^;私が悪いのですが、皆さんも注意してくださいね。
でもレイはその後使えたので良しとします^^

レイ・グリーティングサービス <コナ国際空港>

サプライズ成功

Reviewed by: Ryu, 2018/07/06

せっかくのハワイ旅行なので、ちゃんと歓迎をしてもらおうと思いお願いしました。
妻には内緒で予約しておいたので、何かあったら心配でしたが、入管ゲートをうんざりしながら抜けて
前に進むといかにもなハワイアンマダムがプレートを持って立っていました。

あらかじめ妻の名前でお願いしていたので、気づいた妻はビックリ
「私の名前が書いてある!?」
サプライズ成功です。

近年では珍しくなってしまったようで、我々しかサービスを依頼していないようでしたが
記念写真も快く受けてくれ、歓待していただき感謝しています。

また、その後に場所に不慣れな我々のために、レンタカーの待合所まで送ってもらいました。
チップをお渡ししたのですが、残念ながら受け取ってくれませんでした。(夫婦共々感謝しています)

このサービス、生花を貰えることもあり、高いとは思いません。
サプライズをお考えの方には、絶対にオススメです。価格以上の満足です。
頂いたレイは最終日に海へお返ししました。(水をかけてあげれば結構長持ちします)

  • ハワイの海に返すのが習わしだそうです。

サプライズは成功したが、ホームページとの差には少しがっかり

Reviewed by: ぽこぽこ, 2018/01/14

家族へのサプライズとして、3人分のサービスをお願いしました。
空港の出口で、すぐにスタッフの方がみつかり、レイをかけてもらい家族はとても喜んでいました。
また、その後タクシーを拾う際にも、タクシーにこえを掛けてくれ、サービスの良さを感じました。
・・・が、一点残念なのは、レイをかけてくれる女性が、ホームページの写真とはあまりにかけ離れていてとてもがっかりしました。費用をかけ、サービスを提供してもらう側としてはこの点は非常に不満です。
もしこのようなことが事前にわかっていたら申し込まなかったかもしれませんので改善を希望します。

A Great Welcome to Hawaii

Reviewed by: Gillespie, 2015/03/28

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.

Delux Lei Greeting

Reviewed by: Stuart, 2013/03/29

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.

There is a first for everything...

Reviewed by: Erin, 2012/08/20

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.

lei greeting arrival

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/06/20

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)!
