About this experience

Experience true Hawaiian hospitality as you are greeted at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) with a fresh flower lei and a warm "aloha" the moment you step off the plane.

An airport lei greeting sets the tone for your entire Hawaiian vacation and we consider it an honor to be your first contact in the islands!

What you'll see

Your airport lei greeting begins at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). Most visitors spend at least a short time in Honolulu, even if it is just to pass through the airport for a connecting inter-island flight. Our friendly greeters have secure area airport badges, affording us the opportunity to greet you right at your baggage claim! Your greeter will then escort your party to the baggage claim and you may have the opportunity to ride the airport transit Wiki Wiki Shuttle.

Our company has an amazing reputation for going above and beyond. We embody the aloha spirit and love sharing our aloha with visitors to the islands. Your fresh leis are often made by your greeter just for you, thus making it a very personalized experience, and we often have some island treats to share.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is NOT transportation from outside the airport boundaries (ex: to Waikiki hotels). This service takes place within the confines of the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, O'ahu.
