In the early 1900s when boats were the only way to reach Hawaii, lei vendors lined the pier at Aloha Tower to welcome malihini (visitors) to the Islands and kama'aina (locals) as they returned home. It is said that departing visitors threw their lei into the sea as their ships passed Diamond Head in the hopes that like the lei, they would return to the Islands some day. With the advent of tourism in the Islands, the lei quickly became the symbol of Hawaii to millions of visitors worldwide.
The Hawaii Lei Greeting Experience
We've all seen it in the movies. A celebrity flies into the Aloha State with their "Hawaiian shirts" and beautiful local Hawaiians welcome them with cheerful smiles and Aloha. As if a customary standard, a lei of flowers is adorned around their neck completing the welcome to the Islands, whisking them away from the cold winter weather and providing the gateway to tropical paradise. You're like, "I want that!" Who doesn't?
Well, put on your favorite flip-flops because you can live that experience with a Hawaii lei greeting! You're going to feel like a celebrity having people await your arrival in baggage claim with hand-crafted leis made just for you. The fresh smell of the flowers used will tantalize your senses for the rest of your first day in Hawaii. Just imagine - you, beach, beverage, the smell of tropical flowers, toes in the sand. Now that's a vacation! This is also the perfect photo moment to send back to friends and family, letting them know you made it safe and sound, but we all know it'll make them just a tad bit envious.
