Booking was easy and communication prior to arrival was great. Ethan reached out the night before and was so pleasant upon arrival with the lei greeting and handling all of our luggage. The drive was smooth and arrival at our hotel was great.

Such a great experience! Operator was very responsive- a flight delay occurred but it was still seamless. Driver was right where he said he’d be, waiting for us. It was a great welcome to the island- highly recommend!

It was so nice to be welcomed by a friendly driver with beautiful leis for us on arrival. He was very helpful with our bags and drove us in a luxurious vehicle to our hotel. It was worry free and relaxing. After a very long trip to get here. I’d recommend it for everyone!

Family first visit to Hawaii!

Samantha_F, Jul 2026
Truly made our arrival feel special after a long flight. We got our bags and were greeted by Danny who had the sign to indicate he was there for us. He texted us the night before to set expectations and delivered flawlessly even though we were about 20 minutes late getting in. The ride was comfortable, and they even provided car seats for my twins since we did not travel with them. After the ride we were sent several recommendations on things to check out and do in the area. I highly recommend this service if you’re looking for a traditional, friendly lei greeting! Professional, friendly and so worth it!

Absolutely Amazing...

Earl_C, Jul 2026
From the moment we arrived, our driver, Danny was in contact with us. Danny was an awesome driver and welcomed us with Lei’s. Have great recommendations on things to do while in Honolulu. Couldn’t have asked for a better driver!

Not What I Exoected

Laura_S, Jul 2026
Maybe it was just my experience, but I would not recommend this. My driver wasn’t there when I arrived, I had to call him. He was running late. He gave me the leis, pretty much threw it on my neck and he didn’t smell very good. Then he grabbed my suitcase and basically sprinted with it away from me to get to his car which was just a car, nothing special, and never once looked back to see if I was following, Thank god I’m in good shape. The car was in the parking garage and he even went to the wrong floor so after a very long long flight, we are power walking through the garage trying to find his vehicle, Again, he’s never saying a word time. Throws my luggage in his basic car, doesn’t have water, doesn’t check on air, drives like a maniac to Waikiki in bumper to bumper traffic, when I say he changed lanes even could cars, I’m not exaggerating, As someone who schedules drivers in Orlando and DC, everything about this left me very disappointed and not the professional driver with a beautiful leis greeting I imagined, The only reason I gave two stars and not one is that the company accommodated my two hour flight change that happened 24 hours before my arrival, and did ensure a driver still could pick me up.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Aloha, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry that your Honolulu Airport transfer with lei greeting did not meet the professional standard you expected. Your concerns regarding the late arrival, rushed pickup, lack of communication, vehicle presentation, and especially the driving style are serious. We appreciate that you acknowledged our team accommodated the flight-time change, but we understand that the actual pickup and ride still left you disappointed. We will review this service directly with the driver and our operations team. A private HNL Airport transfer to Waikiki should feel safe, welcoming, and organized from the moment you meet the driver. Mahalo for bringing this to our attention. 🤙 Paradise Hawaii Tours

Great experience!

Driver was prompt and super helpful and friendly. The leis were beautiful. Van was super comfortable. Highly recommend

Easy breezy

Belinda_g, Jun 2026
This was better than I expected! The driver Danny was waiting for us at our baggage carousel with my name on a sign! He didn't rush us, took photos for us and got us to our destination safely.

Great service

Pam_D, Jun 2026
Our driver arrived on time and waited so patiently with us while we waited for such a long time for our bags to come off the plane. The floral leis were so nice and she took a group picture of us.

Stress free experience.

Elizabeth_M, Jun 2026
Danny was great welcoming us at bag claim. The Leis were beautiful and glad we got a picture at the airport wearing them. Because they are fresh they do not last long. Van/bus was very comfortable.

Great airport transportation

Gail_H, Jun 2026
Great driver. He kept in touch with me through the airport and even sent me his picture so I would know exactly who I was looking for.

Magical

Kimberly_T, Jun 2026
Peter was at the baggage claim waiting for us and he texted us to let us know he was there. Beautiful leis that smelled wonderful. Peter was a great driver and was full of information for us. Highly recommend if you want the experience of a lei greeting.

Lei Greeting at Honolulu airport.

Waste of money

Porsha_E, Jun 2026
This activity was a waste of money. The greeter was very dull and made the moment feel subpar. 0/5 s

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue to improve our service. Mahalo and aloha! 🤙

Waikiki

lrsfoot, Jun 2026
Driver was late. I was expecting a little more for the Lei greeting. Then he dropped us off on the parking lot of the hotel and we had no idea where to go. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Great customer service

Lakisha_M, Jun 2026
Our flight kept getting delayed but I kept informing our driver Danny and he responded back every time. He was waiting on us at baggage claim. We appreciate that so much.

Seamless transfer

James communicated with us prior to arrival. Our experience was seemless. He helped with our luggage and made certain we were at the right place prior to dropping us off.

Vincent was wonderful! He...

Amanda_G, Jun 2026
Vincent was wonderful! He texted me the morning of our arrival to confirm our flight and hotel details and he met us at baggage claim exactly as he said he would. He ended up having to wait longer than usual for us because our checked bag was misplaced and the airline had to track it down. He pointed out landmarks on the way to our hotel and was very helpful. So glad we booked with him!

Would use again

Brian_D, Jun 2026
The driver was professional and courteous! Would use again. Gave us enough text messages to keep in contact!

Great communication 5 star service

Amber_B, Jun 2026
Very organized, great communication. Car was clean, driver helped with bagged and loading - took pictures for us. Lays were beautiful. Greta experience would use again

Super Pick Up

Verda_B, Jun 2026
Was on time and went smoothly. Courteous and helpful. Would highly recommend! Can't imagine coming to Hawaii without a leisure greeting. This fit that need!

Honolulu

Jacqueline_E, Jun 2026
Our driver, Danny, was wonderful. He gave us a “driving tour” narrating the highlights we passed between the airport and our hotel on Wakiki Beach. He was extremely courteous and made our arrival in Honolulu ( after many hours of travel) very welcoming and relaxing. Danny helped us totally with our bags (which were many and heavy!). And he sent me a list of recommendations on restaurants and activities in the area… very helpful!

Airport pick up

Mellani_L, Jun 2026
He was patiently waiting for us in the airport in-spite of delays of our flight. Nice guy and was well attended to our luggage

Waikiki

Daniel_B, Jun 2026
