Awesome greeting! - We were greeted at the airport with beautiful leis and our friends were so touched! The gentleman not only was warm and kind, but offered us pointers on where to go and what to see while we were on Kauai.

Great welcome surprise... - Set this up as a surprise and Dan fully understood. The airplane was delayed 3 times. Dan stayed contact with me and we arranged where to meet once we finally got to Lihue. I won't be forgetting the surprise and joy on my GF's face. Can't recommend Kauai Lei Greetings enough.

Traditional Hawaiian Greeting - Greeter reached out to ask which type of Lai we wanted. They were waiting on arrival as promised. Very friendly. The flower lais were fresh and beautiful. Kukui nut lei was unique and well made. Highly recommend doing this to surprise your friends/partner/spouse.

What a great way to start our trip! - Dan greeted us at the baggage claim with a custom message board. The leis were stunning and very fresh! He was so kind to take pictures for us and to give tips about the island. This is a must do, especially for first timers to the island!

Perfect start to our Kauaian Vacation! - My husband & I arranged for a Lei Welcome Greeting for our adult children when they arrived & it was a very fun way to begin their first ever visit to Kauai (& Hawaii for that matter). Dan located our kids easily & presented them each with a flower Lei, much to their surprise (while we waited in our car to pick them up). Communication was great in setting this up. Dan also took a photo (& sent to us) and shared a few of the "Local" recommendations around Kauai. Nice memories and start to a wonderful Hawaiian vacation! We then put the leis in a drawer in the refridgerator of our rental house and they stayed fresh ALL week; we wore them out for dinner 3 more evenings and got many compliments :) Thank you for helping us arrange this!

Family trip - Second time booking airport lei greeting- first time was amazing! Everyone was surprised. This time we passed the person with the leis because they were holding a sign to greet another group. I assumed there would be someone else with our sign- still hoping to surprise my family. We did end up with our leis after I approached the person and asked if they knew if someone was there for my family group. The leis were perfect and everyone loved their leis. I would have preferred the surprise and the group to have seen the sign greeting us but it all worked out.
