Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

Large boat brings you about 30 mins down river with a tour guide speaking overhead. Our tour guide was very funny and was probably my favorite part of this activity. You’ll disembark at an area with walkways/bathroom thr... moreough a lush rainforest that eventually ends at an area with a large cliff/cave. APPLY BUG SPRAY! There are lots of mosquitoes in this area.
Here you’ll get a short history of the location as well as some music/hula dancing.
You’ll head back to boat and return with more traditional ukulele music/hula dancing.
Wasn’t a fan of the music myself, but enjoyed the trip overall.
If you aren’t able to do a strenuous hike, wheelchair bound, or have small children this activity is short enough to get a taste of the scenery without the hassle of a rough walking trail.

We liked this as it filled our day paired with the luau! The staff here is very friendly and the local hawaiian songs were beautiful!

The river cruise was great with the Tour guides giving us the history of the island and river along with local entertainment. the Fren Grotto was also excellent as it was Our 50th Anniversary and the Grotto topped it off... more.

This was a pretty nice and easy way to spend an afternoon. It was quite warm but the breeze on the boat was lovely. We went with young kids and it was a nice time. Would recommend!

Nice relaxing ride down the Wailua River with a short, easy walk to the Grotto. Learning about the history of the boats and the area was very special, as well as having the Hawaiian music and dancing on the boat. The p... moreilot was witty and made a couple of cute jokes. Definitely recommend for families or as an alternative for more strenous activities, or just as a nice cool break from the hot days.

Really enjoyed the time and the fern grotto was amazing. Thanks to the Smith Family and the team.
