About the greeting

What Is a Maui Airport Lei Greeting?

A Maui airport lei greeting is a personal welcome when you land at Kahului Airport (OGG), the main airport on Maui. One of us meets you at baggage claim, greets you by name, and places a fresh, handmade lei on each guest before you collect your bags.

Giving a lei is how Hawaiʻi has welcomed people for generations. It is a gesture of aloha — love, honor and welcome — and a small gesture that sets the tone for the whole trip.

Where We Meet You at Kahului Airport (OGG)

Greetings take place just outside the secure area, on your way to collect your bags. Look for us at the foot of the escalators beside Baggage Claim, between Ticketing and the baggage carousels, holding a sign with your family or group’s name.

You don’t need an airport pass or any special arrangement. If you’re comfortable sending us a photo of yourselves ahead of time, it helps a great deal, though it’s certainly not necessary.

How far in advance should I book?

Please book at least six hours before your scheduled arrival so we can prepare fresh flowers for your lei. If your plans are tighter than that, call us on (808) 264-9500 and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help.

What happens if my flight is delayed or arrives early?

There’s nothing you need to do. We monitor your flight on FlightAware and adjust to your actual landing time, whether you’re delayed or you arrive early. As a courtesy, we’d appreciate notice of any change to your flight schedule where possible.

Can I book a lei greeting for someone else?

Yes, and it’s something we arrange often. Share the traveler’s flight details and the name you’d like on the welcome sign, and we’ll greet them for you. If you’d like it kept as a surprise, just let us know when you book.

Can you greet a group or wedding party?

Absolutely. We welcome families, weddings, business retreats and reunions. We kindly ask that you contact us for groups of eight or more so we can coordinate your arrival properly. Learn about group greetings.
