Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Lynsan

Reviewed by: Lynn M, 2021/09/06

We had not been to the fern grotto in 25 years. It is more beautiful and serene then we remember. The staff a Smith's are welcoming and deliver a fun trip. We like the music and the Capitan's narrative explaining the area.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Aloha ! Remarkable performances by the musicians and Aloha dancers

Reviewed by: Hazel De Leon, 2021/09/02

Aloha ! Remarkable performances by the musicians and Aloha dancers. A very entertaining group! My family was amazed all througout the river cruise. The walk to the Fern Grotto was a unique experience because the beauty of the lush and large tropical plants was amazing and beautiful. Overall, an exciting experience to see a beautiful garden ( Fern Grotto) . It is very well recommended to have the river cruise and if we come back to Kauai, we will do the Wailua river cruise again.

  • Beautiful Fern Grotto

  • A lush garden

  • At the Fern Grotto

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

Fun and Friendly

Reviewed by: Monica, 2021/09/01

We went with our 22 month old baby. They are family friendly and fun. Made the boat ride easier to handle with a toddler with the hula dance and jokes. They seemed authentic. The cave was beautiful as well. Good to take kissing pics.

Great River Boat Tour

Reviewed by: Cmm, 2021/07/09

The Wailua river cruise to the fern grotto was fun. I really enjoyed the music/entertainment on the boat to the grotto. My whole family was memorized looking at the fern grotto. Definitely a good tour for family.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

An Inexpensive and Fun Time

Reviewed by: Cookie , 2021/06/17

This was a quick sightseeing adventure that was worth the cost. The boat trip was relaxing with authentic music one way and informative talk the other way to and from the Fern Grotto. The Fern Grotto is not as impressive as it once was due to storms that have torn away some of the older, longer ferns, but it was still worth the trip.

This is a wonderful tour. The boat is comfortable and a mild ride for all ages. The waterfall and fern grotto are beautiful. You receive history of the area and enjoy Hawaiian song and dance. There is time to walk around and enjoy the beauty

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Lunch

Wonderful way to be introduced to Kauai!

Reviewed by: Susan in Boulder, 2020/02/27

As someone who had never been to Kauai before, I booked this tour as a way for my boyfriend and I to get acclimated to the island. We were so lucky to have Kana e, a wonderful native tour guide, as our driver and tour guide. She made the entire day so much fun, and extremely interesting. We both loved her stories of the island, of her family, and her enthusiasm. I greatly recommend this tour, especially if you can have a native guide as good as Kana e!!

  • Our fabulous guide, Kana e. Her first name is really 23 letters long!

シダの洞窟観光ツアー ワイメア渓谷&ポイプ潮吹岩&オパエカア滝 <英語ガイド>

見どころ満載。充実の一日。

Reviewed by: なかよし夫婦, 2020/02/10

結婚40年を記念して長年の夢であったシダの洞窟を含むツアーに参加しました。ホテルに大型のバスでお迎え。すでに車内には外国のカップルが数組。日本人は私たちだけでした。運転手兼ガイドは明るい小柄な女性。英語はわかりませんがいつも話しながら、時には歌いながら楽しい雰囲気で進みます。トイレ休憩で土産物屋に立ち寄ったり、農園のコーヒー直売店にも寄ったりと全体がゆったりとしたスケジュール。車内は羽織るものをお勧めします。

  • ポイプ潮吹岩

  • 島中のどこにでもいる野生のニワトリ

  • 雄大なワイメア渓谷

  • ワイルア川を望む

  • シダの洞窟

  • 洞窟の前でフラと演奏

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Lunch

Waimea and Wailua

Reviewed by: Sue, 2020/01/25

We enjoyed the Waimea Canyon Tour. The coach driver was friendly, funny, and informative.

The Wailua River Cruise was disappointing and boring. The driver of the boat had no enthusiasm in his voice and the visuals of the river were unimpressive. Since you can no longer enter the Fern Grotto cave, this stop is no longer amazing as it used to be.

We had a wonderful time. Very enjoyable smooth ride in the river. The foliage was very pretty. Easy walk to the grotto. It was fun before when you could go up in the grotto. Enjoyed the singers and hula dancer. Would definitely recommend it.

シダの洞窟観光ツアー ワイメア渓谷&ポイプ潮吹岩&オパエカア滝 <英語ガイド>

渓谷素晴らしい

Reviewed by: まりえ, 2020/01/17

女性ドライバーさん一人でツアーをしてくれます。対応良いです。
英語なので各所の集合時間が聞き取れず困惑しました。
ワイメア渓谷は壮大で素晴らしいものでした。
ランチは自由時間1時間、各自好きなお店で食べるんですが、店選び・注文・食事時間でとても時間が足りず、食事は飲み込んで走ってバスに乗り込みました。
最後にシダの洞窟クルーズねシダの洞窟でフラショーしてくれて、帰りのクルーズ中では、歌・フラショー・フラレッスンが催されとても楽しかったです。
ドライバーさんも疲れた表情見せずホテルまで送ってくれました。

A warm and welcoming crew

Reviewed by: Lesli Takasugi, 2019/12/22

This was our first time visiting the lovely Fern Grotto, and we had a wonderful time. The crew were so sweet, especially with our daughter who got into one of the local plants that made her cry and tongue swell. They performed hula and sang beautifully, playing to the children on board. We highly recommend this short river boat ride for families with young kids.

it was a long day with many stops. some were worth the stop and some were not. if the tour drove straight to the canyon and then to the river, then It may have been worth the cost.

Beautiful!!!

Reviewed by: Bethany Matlock, 2019/08/11

First off let me say our tour guide Rosario was fantastic!!! He gave us such a great history lesson and for us that's everything because we love history. He also has a great sense of humor. The places we got to see were pretty great as well. Waimea Canyon is gorgeous and you must see in person as photos do not do it justice. All the little stops along the way were fun. We discovered Poipu on this trip and we love it there. We will stay there next time we are on Kauai. All in all a great time, highly recommend!!!
