The History of Lei Making & Giving
Ancient Hawaiian Origins
Lei giving dates back to early Hawai'i, where they were worn by ali'i (royalty) and used to symbolize status, connection, and respect within the community
A Living Tradition
Lei making continues today as a respected cultural practice, passed down through generations and shared to welcome others into the spirit of the islands.
A Symbol of Aloha
The act of giving a lei represents aloha—love, honor, and welcome. It is a gesture that connects people, whether arriving, celebrating, or saying goodbye.
Crafted from the Land
Traditionally, lei were made from natural materials found in Hawai‘i—flowers, leaves, shells, seeds, and feathers—each chosen for its meaning and purpose.
About us
Our first trip to Hawaii unknowingly changed our lives
My first trip to Maui, Hawaii in May of 1986 was a turning point in my life. I had been working on a psychiatric unit for veterans with PTSD and was feeling burned out. The moment I arrived on Maui, I felt a deep sense of peace and relaxation. The island’s small population (67,000 at the time) and charming atmosphere were a respite from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. What struck me the most however was the kindness and generosity of the people I met. They were genuinely friendly and welcoming, without expecting anything in return. As I explored the island, I began to fall in love with its people, culture, and way of life.
When I returned to Los Angeles, I started making plans to move to Maui. With the help of an uncle who already lived on the island, I was able to make the transition smoothly. Over the past 40 years I’ve had the privilege of welcoming many friends and family members to Maui with a traditional lei greeting. It’s a small gesture, but one that brings so much joy and “Aloha” spirit to those who experience it. My goal is to share this same spirit with visitors from around the world through my lei greeting service.
