Smith's Motor Boat Service actually began in the late 1940s when Walter Smith took the first group of visitors up the Wailua River. The Smith family has been instrumental in preserving the Native Hawaiian legends of the area. The Wailua River is known as the only navigable river in all of Hawaii. The river's fresh water pours down from Mt. Waialeale, the wettest spot on the Earth. The land along the river was the sacred capital of ancient Kauai and the birthplace of the Island's Ali'i (royalty). |

The Fern Grotto lies at the base of Maunu Kapu (forbidden mountain), the legendary peak that overlooks the south bank of the Wailua River. The ferns at Fern Grotto actually grow upside down from the roof of the grotto. Geologists say the grotto was formed millions of years ago. Native Hawaiian plants and colorful exotic tropical plants provide a rain forest atmosphere. The Fern Grotto provides excellent acoustics and the perfect backdrop for Smith's Boat's Talented Hawaiian singers and musicians. There's nothing like being serenaded at the famous Fern Grotto! |
