WELCOMING VISITORS TO HAWAI’I

Ali‘i Greeting Service is a family owned business founded by Hawaiians born and raised in the islands. Since 1982, we’ve continued to be the most popular flower lei greeters here in Hawai‘i – servicing Maui & O’ahu. Today, we strive to keep historical traditions alive with company roots stretching back through history.

Company history

Generations back…

In the 60’s, a man Chuck Machado Jr., better known as “The Luau King,” began sharing Hawaiian luau traditions with visitors in Waikiki by throwing the first commercial luaus. The same man, who also hosted a world famous fishing tournament, would eventually establish one of the first airport lei greeting services: Aloha Lei Greeters.

 

Following in his father’s footsteps, son Chuck Machado III, begins the next generation of airport lei greeting with Ali‘i Greeting Service in 1982. Since then, the multi-island company continues to be owned and operated by Billie Jean Machado.

Culture + Tradition

As our world continues to modernize, we intend to keep traditional practices alive. While we’re a service based company, our service is culturally based.

 

We breathe life into this company with cultural authenticity, grounded in warm values. We don’t go through the motions. We share the same emotional connection as our ancestors. We remember how Polynesians embraced opportunities to share these warm experiences with others.

 

We’re not just greeting visitors at the airport, we’re connecting them to something deeper. We’re connecting them to the rich soul of this place we call home.

Opportunity + Impressions

When visitors first step foot in Hawai‘i, we are the first faces they see. We are their first cultural experience. We see this as an opportunity, to not only perpetuate the Hawaiian culture, but to do it with authenticity and pride.

 

It’s important to us, that we not only make a great personal first impression, but most importantly, a great cultural first impression.

 

As we introduce visitors to these beautiful islands, people, and culture, we hope to instill the importance of respecting and honoring every part of Hawai‘i.
