Airport greeting, Fresh lei
Arrive at Kona International Airport to a dedicated greeter who welcomes you with an "Aloha" and a fresh lei. Designed for solo travelers or anyone who wants to gift a single lei.
Surprise greetings are not recommended; the recipient should know to look for a welcome sign. Flights arriving after 09:00 PM may not be serviced due to staffing and airport regulations.
Cancellations must be received and confirmed no later than 48 hours prior to scheduled service time. No refunds will be awarded for no-shows.
Provide your arrival airline and flight number. Verify your flight details, and update them right away if anything changes so your greeter can track your arrival.
Meet your greeter at the baggage claim entrance at the carousel exit area for your flight, before curbside. Kona International Airport has three baggage claim areas. Look for a greeter in black-blue aloha attire with black bottoms; women may wear a white tiare flower above their ear.
Surprise greetings are not recommended. Tell the recipient to look for a sign with their name on it when they arrive so they don’t miss the greeter.

This lei greeting service seems to have figured out the magic formula for starting a Hawaiian vacation on the right note. The personal touches really stand out here. Greeters like Priscilla, Aimee, Zoie, and Donna consistently go beyond just handing over flowers – they're offering local recommendations, helping guests find rideshare spots and car rentals, and creating that warm aloha spirit right at baggage claim. Communication is reliably strong, with most guests receiving helpful texts about exactly where to meet, making the whole experience surprisingly stress-free even after long flights. People booking this as surprises for spouses, family members, or clients report genuine excitement and delight, with many mentioning how it sets the perfect tone for the trip. The leis themselves generally get rave reviews for quality and beauty, with guests noting they stayed fresh for days. There's a nice detail about offering kukui nut leis for men instead of flowers, which seems to be appreciated. One wrinkle worth noting: there was a disappointed customer who ordered specific honeymoon leis but received different ones without advance notice, suggesting occasional inventory issues that aren't always communicated upfront. There's also mention of one guest who never received their lei at all. Still, these seem to be rare hiccups in an otherwise smooth operation, and the service appears particularly reliable for last-minute bookings and accommodating special requests.
I could not have asked for a better experience!! Aimee was beyond fabulous!! We booked a girl's trip and she was so communicative! When we were landed I got a text of exactly where she was waiting. She was so patient. I surprised my family and they were so happy they cried. Aimee took pictures for us and sent them to me. it was an INCREDIBLE experience!! Highly recommend!!
