“The private flower blessing party we had for my bridesmaids was so special! We were not expecting to share from our hearts and connect so deeply during this activity. It was a time we will always remember. The hairclips we made were all so unique, it really celebrated every persons personality, and the offering at the end to the sea was a beautiful touch.”

Gina really makes you feel connected to the island; I appreciated her going the extra mile to help us connect all of our senses with our surroundings before we started making the lei po'o. I loved the small group that we had- it definitely made the experience more special and meaningful. I could not recommend this more!!”

If you are coming to Honolulu, this lei making experience lets you experience a a small piece of Hawaiian culture- I could not recommend this more!!”
“Such a beautiful experience!! From start to finish, Gina has a way of helping you connect with the island and the mana flowing throughout. Getting to create these leis was so much more of a spiritual experience than I was anticipating. Would highly recommend!!”
“Gina was a great teacher and friend. She shared with us a wealth of knowledge on Hawaii culture and led a very zen and relaxing lei making class. We all end up with a beautiful lei. And Gina is a great photographer too. It was such a great time. I’m very grateful for the new experience and meeting beautiful new friends.”

“This was such a beautiful and mesmerizing experience in Oahu :) It was conducted in a very small group, and everyone was wearing masks throughout the entire session so it felt extra safe even in this crazy year. Gina was a great instructor, very thoughtful and cheerful, and she told us beautiful stories about Hawaii as well. Lei Po’os we made turned out very pretty as well, and it made us feel special and precious! Can’t wait to come back for another amazing time to make another one :) If you’re hesitating, please go ahead; seriously this is one of the best things we’ve done in Hawaii.”

This experience went even beyond my expectations!Gina is such a nice and unique person. The flowers she personally picked from her neighborhood for us and all of her help plus the genuine atmosphere she creates with her smile made us create beautiful lei po’o.

For future students, no experience needed, no high expectations from you. Guaranteed, you will discover your inner strengh, arts & talent in creating your own head flower crown, known as Lei Po'o. I found a friend in Gina and my classmates.💗 As I walk back to my hotel, every flower garden of different color and shapes, I see myself making more Lei Po'o. Mahalo😘🤙”

I left my experience with Gina as my last and final way to wrap up my weekend and I’m glad I did. I came early therefore I was able to chat with her and learn about her life. She’s a fellow native New Yorker so we connected easily. She was really great in helping me and the three other women make our beautiful lei po’s. It was a perfect way to relax, be present and enjoy this wonderful activity. I would highly recommend it”

“My lei po'o making experience with Gina was one of my favorite things that I did on this trip. She was so personable, welcoming and passionate about sustainability and Hawaiian culture. I had an amazing time learning how to craft my very own lei with her. There was a great variety of flowers from soft subtle ones to statement pieces. If you want to make your own lei po'o right in waikiki, this is the class to book! Oh and she also fed me the best tasting mango I've had in my life! :) Mahalo Gina!”

“My sister, mom, and I took Gina’s class together. We started out with a brief meditation which was lovely. During the workshop, we learned a lot about the different types of flowers and leaves Gina brought and different techniques to create the flower crowns. She also brought delicious pineapple and took lots of photos for us. Gina is an incredible human being and we look forward to seeing her again in the future! Thank you!”
“I had a wonderful time making flower crowns. The flowers were fresh and it was an easy and creative way to learn about the nature native to Hawaii”
“Our group of 5 family members had a wonderful time and left with beautiful creations we wore into the new year, making it extra special. We will be doing this again on future trips!”
“I felt. pretty. haha Let’s put it right there. Gina is amazing she shared a spiritual chant with us before we started and worked with us closely to create each of our leis, the flowers were freshly picked, the ambience! - we were by the ocean, what could be better? afterwards we shared some fruits and took a bunch of fun photos. The flowers don’t last forever but the memories will.”
“The intimate experience was a lot of fun on the beautiful beach of Waikiki. It was a nice bonding experience for my teenage daughter and myself. I loved the meditation and reminder to be mindful, it was a great representation of living a Hawaiian life.”
