Beast luau i've been to, reconmend getting there early to walk through the incredible gardens after the short tour. The staff is top notch, the food is incredible and the intertainment is worth every penny. I would recomend this to anyone and everyone going to Kaua'i.

We loved the tram ride, beautiful grounds with peacocks and more, the great food at the luau, friendly people, a wonderful show! The covered pavilions made it pleasant! It was nice to have our picture taken and available for purchase. We liked having the luau in one place and the show in another. Wear mosquito repellent!

This was touted as the best luau on Kauai, but we were not impressed. Yes the grounds are beautiful and the tram guide was very knowledgeable, but the rest of the staff was mediocre at best. This was too large a gathering for the limited time of the event. Yes, we were the last table to be released for the buffet, and there was plenty of food available, but we felt rushed to eat and the tables were being cleared before we even finished our dinner, not to mention dessert. The show had a couple of good highlights, but was mainly various styles of hula dancers.

The entire event was fantastic. Grounds were beautiful and the staff was great! We really enjoyed the food and drinks. Would highly recommend.

This luau was the best we have been to. We had a wonderful time , the food was delicious and the entertainment was fabulous. We will definatly tell our friends and family about it!

We have attended other Luaus on Kauai, but this Luau exceeded all expectations. The grounds are beautiful, the food was great and the service was outstanding. There was plenty of food and drink (all you can eat/ drink) and it was all delicious! The Smith family and their associates are warm, friendly and genuine. One note of caution to those with young children - the show does not begin until after dinner is over, so this could make for a long night for some little ones. My two sons (3 years and 4 months) did well and enjoyed the show, but were definitely getting a little tired toward the end. Overall, I would highly recommend this luau.

The Smith Luau was an overall extraordinary experience and great value. The evening begins with a tram or walking tour of Smith's Tropical Paradise. The grounds include a wide variety of birds and fish, and labelled foliage. The luau was in a covered open-air pavillion, and preceded by giving thanks for the food and asking God's blessings. The luau was served buffet style, including fish, pork, chicken and beef dishes, and a wide variety of vegetables and desserts. While eating, we were serenaded by a live band, playing traditional Hawaiian music. Following the luau, we moved to a covered open-air amphitheater for a live show, including segments depicting the many cultures of the Hawaiian islands. The staff was genuinely courteous and kind. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and is highly recommended.

We had a great time. The food was good, the gardens were amazing and the show was awesome. We would do it again no questions about it. The staff was great as well. Thanks for making are trip more amazing.

Our family loves the Smith's Family Luau--the gardens are beautiful, the food is excellent & the Smith Family is so nice. This was our 2nd time at this luau & we enjoyed it as much as the 1st. I highly recommend doing the fern grotto cruise & then the luau right after. This was a wonderful family experience!!

We incredibly enjoyed this Luau! I would recommend it to everyone. The train ride and walk through the garden set the scene for a beautiful evening.

The luau food was excellent, best we experienced in the Islands. The program fell short of our expectations. We have seen better in other venues.

Very well done! I was suprised by the gardens and the amount of people who attended. Good selection of food too!

Great entertainment! Food was fabulous, show was very impressive. Would definitely go again. Love the DVD so I don't have trouble remembering the show. Beautifully kept grounds and lots of birds!!

Was our first time to Hawaii, and thought a Luau would be fun to do. Our vacation time and money would have been better spent elsewhere. This is like a time warp, something out of the 50's or 60's. Bad banquet food, "Hawaiian" music played very loudly during the meal, and the show, that can be missed,although at the very end the flame eater was mildly entertaining. This isn't to say they don't try hard, most of the staff were very friendly, however this event is passed it's day.

Very canned tourist experience. The show was well done but about 20 minutes too long. There were also 250 people+ at this event which was disappointing. The grounds were beautiful and the food was good. The people were nice. It seemed very Disney and sadly, not authentic.

We enjoyed our experience at the luau. The food was very good and they were very experienced at moving a big crowd through efficiently. It was great having the Hawaiian music during dinner. The show was pretty good. We did enjoy it, but it doesn't quite compare to the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, which is the best. This one was good, and it tried to have different islands represented, but the numbers were all very similar to each other. Loved the fire and volcano and the dragon. It was an enjoyable evening for our family.

We enjoyed the food and the entertainment. The grounds and the birds were wonderful. Worth the money for this experience.

Wow, the food, the staff, the grounds, the dancing - it was all great! It was well organized and the tour around the gardens was informative. The dancers were spectacular and the food was wonderful! I would highly recommend that you don't miss out on this luau!

This was a great luau -- more than we had hoped for, considering we thought the luau we attended on Maui was going to be best out there (it turned out to be a tie). The Smith family certainly knows how to treat its guests. Not only did you get a wonderful tram ride around the estate (to check out the beautiful peacocks and lush landscape), you got a great meal followed by a wonderful show. We were very impressed.

we spent the day kayaking the Wailua River and this was the perfect cap on a perfect day. The gardens are lovely, the luau food I assume is typical for luau food, which isn't exactly to mainland tastes, but we didn't really go for the food anyway. It was delightfully entertaining, with lovely dancing. It was my first luau so I don't have much to compare it to, but had heard about this one, so we tried it. I would recommend it to anyone, it is a good value for the moneye.
