When you arrive in Kauai at Lihue Airport (LIH), look for your lei greeting
representative at the first non-secured area and receive your wonderful
island greeting. Treat yourself and loved ones to a traditional lei welcome,
featuring beautiful, fresh local orchids. This is the perfect way to start your family vacation, honeymoon or special occasion.
The history of the lei
dates back to the ancient Hawaiians, who wore braided leaves, native
flowers, shells, feathers, stones and bones to beautify themselves. They
often offered these garlands to each other and to their gods as a
symbol of love and friendship. The lei was treasured and worn with pride
by people of every age.
Leis are still carefully made by hand
by Hawaiians, weaving fragrant, colorful flowers and leaves together to
create a work of art. A symbol of Hawaii, leis are worn on all special
occasions and given to family and friends as gifts of love.
