A Warm Aloha in 15 Minutes: Large‑Group Lei Greetings at Kona International.
Arrive into Kona and be met with the island’s first ritual: a handwoven lei and a genuine Hawai‘i welcome. Designed for groups of eight or more arriving together on the same flight, the Large Group Greeting turns the hectic minutes after touchdown into a brief, unmistakably local introduction—each member receives a fresh lei chosen from several traditional styles while a friendly greeter gathers the party and answers questions.
