Experience Details
What It Is
Our wooden lei making class in Honolulu runs at 15 N Pauahi Street in Chinatown, about 15 minutes by car from Waikiki. In 90 minutes you choose laser-cut plumeria, hibiscus and monstera shapes, paint them in island colours, add beads or twine, and string a lei you can wear or hang. $69 per person, all materials included. It is the lei that lasts — a keepsake that flies home without wilting.
Public classes seat up to 24; private lei-making sessions host groups up to 200 at the studio or at your hotel or office on Oʻahu.
