Kaunakakai
Hours: Tours offered between 9a.m. and noon weekdays.
Cost: $15.00 per person. Groups limited to eight persons.
Participants are delighted to handle the flowers and discover
they're not as fragile as they initially thought. They can't
get over walking into the lei room and seeing how we are
throwing the rejects on the floor. There will be a
carpet of flowers by the time we're done, because we're very
selective when we're making the leis. Every guest leaves with
a fresh plumeria lei that they've strung themselves. We also
provide them with their lei needle so they can make leis at
home if they wish. We show them what flowers to pick for their
lei and how to pick them. If they want to add colored flowers
to their lei, they can.
