Videotorial: The People of Hawaiʻi

Hawaiʻi is home to amazing people and incredible traditions, one of which is the iconic lei. You may have worn one at a special event or during a visit to Hawaiʻi, but they are much more than just a symbol of aloha.

They are a meaningful part of Hawaiʻi’s history and culture, seen as representing a moment and a memory that weaves lives together. How beautiful is that?

If you’ve come to understand and appreciate just how special Hawaiʻi is, it’s because of people like Meleana Estes. Meleana is an author and lei maker, and this short video will give you a much deeper appreciation of the significance of the lei.

When it comes to advising travellers to Hawaiʻi about experiences that create a never-forget vacation, consider a lei-making class.
