Nestled within the lush burgeoning lei garden pond area, this immersive activity invites you to explore the art of lei making under the guidance of the knowledgeable instructors. As you select foraged flowers and foliage sourced from the gardens and local growers, you'll discover the significance behind the blooms, the lei making and the celebrations that we use lei in all year round. Whether you’re a seasoned lei maker or this is your first time, we welcome all levels of lei makers! Each participant will craft their own lei po'o (Hawaiian flower crown) using time-honored techniques passed down through generations across Polynesia. Selected to the Hawaii Tourism Authority Regenerative Experiences Program develop and enhance visitor experiences that are deeply rooted in the principles of regenerative tourism.
