Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Smith's Luau & Fern Grotto Tour

Reviewed by: Betty Kaszula

The Smith's Luau is the best on Kauai. They have lovely grounds to tour, the emu ceremony is great. We have been to this before and I would recommend it to everyone. The tour up the river to the Fern Grotto was great. The people running these tours are well versed in the history and knowledge they share with guests. They make everyone feel special!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Great Place-needed a bit more time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The transportation to the Cultural Center was great and the driver amazing. He was very friendly and the drive was gorgeous - including a view of the famous 'China-Man's hat'. He was helpful once we arrived as well. We had a great experience on the canoe but wished we would have had more time to actually visit the individual villages before dinner began. I felt like we missed out a lot not being able to visit the exhibits. The dinner was wonderful although we had a toddler with us and opted out a bit early to roam the grounds and get some energy out rather than finish watching the dinner show. The evening show was amazing and made the whole trip worth it. We slept on the way home and were very happy with the experience.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Absolutely the BEST Luau anywhere!

Reviewed by: Perscon

I've lived in Hawaii and returned for many occasions, and Smith's Luau is absolutely the BEST Luau on any island at any price! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, the staff was very friendly and outgoing, the food was absolutely the best and there was plenty of it! Open mai-tai bar was a great value, dinner entertainment was fun but not overwhelming and the show afterward was a great Luau value. The thing that impressed me the most was Mr Smith, the owner, was available, visible and active in every part of the evening, from un-earthing the pig to singing and entertaining at dinner. I would HIGHLY recommend this event for anyone who visits Kauai - you WON'T be disappointed!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Totally Worth It!

Reviewed by: Melissa S

What a great time! We went with a group of 6 for my birthday and had an amazing time. We splurged for the delux, front row seating, and were placed right next to the stage, with lei greeting, drink tickets, great table service and perfect views.
We took part in the huki lau, the games, the imu ceremony, got our pictures taken with the royalty, my husband even got me on stage to hula! The food was amazing and the show was really great.
This was the 2nd visit for my husband and I, the first for our friends and everyone agreed it was totally worth it, a great time, and we will certainly come back again and again!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

luau show ルアウショー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a family.
Since it was held at the hotel where we stayed, it was very convenient to gather and return to our rooms afterward.

Before the meal, there were various interactive events (like making fish out of leaves and watching coconut cracking), which were fun.

We also enjoyed a variety of dances, including hula, Tahitian dance, and fire dance, which was great.

The meal was a buffet, but at first, each table went to get food, so it proceeded smoothly even with a large number of people.

I’m glad everyone in the family was satisfied. Thank you very much.

家族で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルでの開催でしたので、集合も、終わってから部屋へ戻るのもとても便利でした。

食事の前にあちこちで参加型のイベント(葉っぱで魚を作ったり、ココナツの実を割るのを見たり)があり楽しい。

フラや、タヒチアンダンスやファイアーダンス等等、色々な種類のダンスも楽しめ、とてもよかったです。

食事は…ブッフェですが最初だけテーブルごとに取りに行くので、多人数でも混乱なく進みました。

家族みんな満足してよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

It was wonderful! 素晴らしかったです!

Reviewed by: もぺもぺ

I arrived in Hawaii on January 3rd and went to the Twilight Deluxe that same day (since my elderly mother was with me, it would have been tiring to go in the afternoon). During the car ride, a Japanese exchange student shared some interesting stories, making for a fun time while sightseeing! The meal was satisfying, with crab and roast beef! (I've heard that if you don't go early, it might run out!) The highly anticipated Horizon had the best seats, third from the front in the center! I heard that the show content changed from January, and it was different from just dancing before; it felt more like a musical and was really great! During the break, we received a large pineapple and mango ice for free, which felt like a bonus! My mother was very happy too! If you go to Oahu, you should definitely check it out! I highly recommend it!!

1月3日にハワイに着き、その日にトワイライト・デラックス(高齢の母が一緒でしたので、昼からですと疲れますので・・)行きました!行きの車の中では、日本人留学生が面白い話を聞かせて下さり、観光しながらの楽しい時間でした!お食事もカニあり、ローストビーフありで満足のいくものでした!(話によりますと、早く行かないとなくなってしまうそうですよ!)待望のホライズンも真ん中の前から3番目で最高!!の席でした。1月からショーの内容が変わったとかで、以前の踊りだけとは違うミュージカルのようでとても良かったです!休憩時間にはおっきなパイナップル、マンゴーアイスを無料で頂け、得した気分です!母もとても喜んでいました!オアフに行かれたら是非行ってみて下さい!お勧めいたします!!

This is my third time watching the show, and it’s wonderful every time. I wanted to see it even better, so I splurged on the "Twilight Deluxe" tickets, and I was able to watch from a fantastic spot, third row from the front, aisle seat, just as I hoped. I also got to enjoy the dessert I had been looking forward to, and I’m really moved!!

ショーを観るのは今回で3回目になりますが、何回観てもスバラシイです。
もっとよく観たいという希望もあり、『トワイライト・デラックス』にして奮発しましたが、予想を裏切らない前から3番目の通路側のとてもいい場所で観ることが出来ました。念願のデザートも食べれたし、とても感激です!!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Good cultural luau

Reviewed by: Biochembelle

Transportation was convenient and our guide Trina made the trip entertaining. At the luau, they were very organized in dividing the guests into their seating areas. The crafts during free time and the staff assisting were excellent, though an hour wasn't enough time to get to all of the crafts. Dinner was very tasty, especially the kalua pork. As a previous reviewer has mentioned on this site, the drink coupons are valid only for certain drinks, but premium drinks can be purchased for an additional $3-7, depending on the drink and size. Please note it is a cash only bar. The bar was not well staffed, but the tour guides would fetch drinks for the guests, so at least we didn't have to stand in long lines. The bartenders were free with the quantities of alcohol going into the drinks. The dancing show was good, but I have seen better, particularly at the Polynesian Cultural Center. However, the PCC does not serve alcohol or caffeine. Also, this was the only time during our week stay on Oa

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Fun Evening

Reviewed by: Cynthia

Food was very good and it was helpful that they explained all the items on the buffet for those not familiar with Luau fare. The show was very well done and we had fun doing the activities at the beginning. Only downside is they do all the activities at the same time (hula lesson, palm weaving, etc.) so you can only do one. Also, if you're expecting a flower lei be prepared to pay extra for it or bring your own. We got ours at Costco, they sell a 2 pack of fresh orchid leis for only $6.50. Overall, a very fun evening right on the beach.

Island Breeze Luau - Kona

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Food and show was good. But, we would like to have some more interaction with audiences to perform Luau dance. We were expecting atleast that during the course of performances. Though it was done as brief introductory on Luau dance before the show began but it would be nice if we could participate as family then it would be very very more vibrant live show where family, friends, kids everybody can enjoy and have fun. This is a small request if they can spend some time during their main course of performance on this.

Other than that food, drinks are delicious. Here is a small request if they can put name tag in front of the each of the dish / item so people who are verigiterian / non-vegiterian can pickup their food selection very easily and can avoid un-necessary waist on the food. Though the organizer anounced the all the food items but by putting a name tag for food items that are served on that day would not cost any more.

Thanks

From the moment we got on the bus, we felt like we were in America! The two of us, a pair of middle-aged women, were entering a different world. Even though we didn't understand the language, we were in high spirits.

We were able to chat with a lawyer family from California, and everyone around us was very friendly. We were completely satisfied with everything! I think it's more enjoyable than being in a place with only Japanese people. I highly recommend it to everyone. With just a little courage and guts, it was really great!

A great experience!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Polynesian Cultural Center was a great experience! We rented a car and went for the day rather than booking a tour. The Samoan presentation was very funny as well as a learning experience as all presentations are! We were able to try some of the things that we learned from the presentations. Our kids loved collecting the stamps, and the prize at the end. It was an enriching experience that I recommend all to try at least once. We did not attend a luau on property, so I cannot relay any recommendations for that.
