How pages are checked

This is not a lei shop, a tour company or a booking site. What it asks you to trust is the date on each page and the source behind it.

It started as a list of lei stands for locals. It is now for visitors and for anyone sending a lei to the mainland: where to buy one at the Honolulu airport, which shops ship, and, next, every lūʻau on the island compared.

Each listing comes from a public source: the shop’s own website, an official page such as the state airports’ page on lei greetings, or a public directory where a shop has no site of its own.

A detail the source did not give is left blank. If a shop does not post its hours, this site shows no hours rather than guessing them, and no shop is described as open unless its posted hours say so.

“Checked” and a date means I read the shop’s own published information, or the official source, on that day. “Verified” means more: that I called the shop or went there in person. A listing only says “verified” when that actually happened.

Shops are listed because their information can be checked, not because they replied to me or paid anything. A shop that has closed comes off the site.

Nobody pays to be listed or to be ranked higher. Some links may earn a commission in future, and the disclosure page says exactly how that works.

If a shop has moved, closed or changed its hours, or a detail here is out of date, email aloha@getlocalhawaii.com. Corrections are checked against the source and the page is re-dated.
