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

The Luau was wonderful

Reviewed by: Sharen

We have visited most of the Hawaian islands and attended many Luau's, but this one was the best by far. The grounds were awsome, the food & drinks were incredable and the entertainment was the best. We loved the covered eating area and show. It rained several times while we were there and never got wet.
Another thing we liked was the trams that took you from the check in on a nice tour of the gardens then even took you back to the parking lot after the show when it was dark.
IT WAS THE BEST!

My husband and I loved this sunset sail. The food was absolutely scrumptious and the views of the cliffs of Na Pali, the dark ocean and the orange and purple sky were just amazing and priceless. Thank you for adding so much to our vacation!

Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Kauai Snuba is Fun!

Reviewed by: Patty, Darcy & Brad

The best part of snuba-ing is that you don't have to hover on the surface of the water, you can actually breath underwater. We spent most of our time being silly and pretending we were mermaids. We had a blast. Thanks to Kevin and the snuba crew!

Kauai Island Tour - Hanalei, Kilauea Lighthouse, Chocolate Tasting & Movie Sites

An Interesting Tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

When I found out that parts of Jurassic Park were filmed on Kauai I had to visit the film locations. The tour guide was very informative and showed us movie clips to refresh our memory of what the scene looked like in the movie. The scenery of Kauai is just stunning, and you can see why people filmed at these locations.

Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch

Adrenaline Rush!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Soaring above the forest on a zipline will make you feel like Tarzan! The forest that the zipline is located in is very lush and scenic. Going on a zipline is a guaranteed way to get your adrenaline fix. They also have a zipline that allows you to jump into the water in a unique and exciting way.

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Snorkel tour

Reviewed by: Illusiv1

This was an awesome experience even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not go to Niihau. Due to the tradewinds and some seriously rough seas we could not make the trip to Niihau. We found the crew very pleasant and accommodating. The views were incredible and we were able to take in an amazing whale watching session. As noted by the several this is more of a summer time tour because the weather and seas are more predictable. I believe we missed out on a bunch by not going to Niihau but the whale experience made up for it. The large boat size provides plenty of room so it's not real crowded. We saw other boats on similar trips and they appeared to be more crowded. We would HIGHLY recommend this trip.

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

The highlight of our Kauai trip!

Reviewed by: Amy Ray - Olympia, WA

My boyfriend and I, plus another couple, had a fabulous day on Kipu Ranch with Kimo as our guide. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and a small group, both of which probably made the whole thing more fun. Kimo stressed safety, but we had plenty of opportunities to open our Rhino up a bit as well, and lots of bumpy terrain and hills to enjoy. He also shared great history about the area, and pointed out plenty of interesting plant and animal life. And the views! They are truly spectacular. Swimming in the river was a lot of fun, as was swimming in the pool at the waterfall. I recommend reapplying the bug spray as you're getting ready to swim, as the mosquitoes only seemed bad at the waterfall. To top it all off, lunch was delicious. After a morning of riding, it was a real treat to eat lunch outdoors in the sunshine with a small stream nearby. We would definitely do this again and would recommend it to almost anyone.

I would highly recommend this event to all. Go early and get a chance to walk the gardens. They are beautiful and I took great pictures of my family within the gardens. Food at the Luau was excellent and the show was outstanding. I was amazed at how many of the guest were return visitors. The Smith family do own a piece of paradise.

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

The BEST LUAU we've ever been...

Reviewed by: Chris & Wan

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this event - it wasn't only a Luau, but you learned of the culture, flora, and food. The food was OUTSTANDING! The hosts gave a thorough description of the foods, and how to eat them. The pig was very juicy, and salted to perfection. And even though the Poi was bland (as it should be), it had a distinctive and very interesting taste that perked our senses. The free mai-tais didn't hurt either! : )

The show ran a bit longer than we expected, but after a few drinks, it may have just seemed longer. The quality of dance, special effects, and entertainment was high, and the fire dude rocked the house (one of the best we've seen).

Mahalo Smith's!

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

Great show!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Spectacular setting! I've been to many luaus before and this one has the best scenery. Well organized and excellent food! I was slightly disappointed in the show as it was lower energy than others I've attended. I didn't like the way they captured ALL the cultures (Chinese, Japanese, Phillipines) as I felt it brought the energy of the entire show down and removed itself from being "Hawaiian". Over all though - we had a great time.

We have been to many luaus on all the islands and this is one of the best. The food was plentiful and very enjoyable. The host and his father 2nd and 3rd generation we very informative and available to every one. They worked the tables and made sure everyone felt at home.

The entertainment during dinner was continuious. We even had a couple get engaged after the hula class. Very sweet.The bar service was fast and the special drinks well prepared.

The entertainment was very professional and varied dances form the different pacific islands. The special effects were just great.

Would we go back. In a heart beat.

This was my first time on an ATV and I had a pretty good time. Usually I am not one for getting dirty and riding on an ATV but I didn't mind.

The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us how to maneuver the ATV's well. There were parts of the tour that were difficult and wouldn't recommend it for kids.

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: カレイ

If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely have to check out the Na Pali Coast, so I joined a tour this time. The view from the sea was truly amazing. There were interesting points like large openings that continued like tunnels, and holes in the ceiling of the tunnels where waterfalls were cascading down. I'm glad I got to see them up close. I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the lunch was delicious. It was a very satisfying tour!

カウアイ島を訪れるなら絶対ナパリコーストには行ってみたかったので、今回ツアーに参加しました。
海からの眺めは本当に最高でした。大きくあいた穴がトンネルのように続いていたり、トンネルの天井部分に穴が開いていてそこに滝が流れ落ちていたりなどと、面白いポイントがたくさんあり、間近で見れて良かったです。
シュノーケリングも楽しめランチも美味しかったです。大満足のツアーです!

We had a great time as a family. 家族で楽しめました。

Reviewed by: Bun

We participated in a tour as a family. Since we had children with us, we were worried about seasickness during the cruise, but thankfully, no one got seasick, and we all had a great time together.

The caves and unique rock formations of the Na Pali Coast viewed from the sea were incredibly impressive, and we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Not only did we get to see beautiful landscapes, but we also encountered dolphins and whales along the way, and enjoyed snorkeling where we could see sea turtles and tropical fish up close. It was a very enriching tour, and I would love to participate again someday.

家族でツアーに参加しました。子供が一緒だったので、クルージングだと船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いすることもなく家族みんなで楽しめました。
海の上から見上げるナパリコーストの洞窟や奇岩などは迫力満点で、絶景を堪能できました。美しい景観だけでなく、途中でイルカやクジラに遭遇したり、ウミガメや熱帯魚を間近に見るシュノーケリングが楽しめたり、とても内容の濃いツアーでした。またいつか参加してみたいです。

Enjoying the Na Pali Coast! ナパリコースト満喫!

Reviewed by: kei

I had previously participated in a trekking tour of the Napali Coast, but I really wanted to see the views from the sea, so I decided to join this tour. The weather was great, and the cruising experience was fantastic. I was amazed by the sight of a pod of dolphins swimming in the deep blue sea and the breathtaking scenery while feeling the pleasant breeze. The impressive views of the cliffs and valleys are still etched in my memory.

I was looking forward to seeing sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was disappointing that I didn't encounter any. However, the underwater world filled with colorful fish was beautiful!

以前、ナパリコーストのトレッキングツアーに参加したことはあったのですが、どうしても海からの眺めも見てみたいということでツアー参加を決めました。
天候も良くクルージングは気分最高でした。真っ青な海で泳ぐイルカの群れを見たり、心地よい風を感じながら眺める壮大な景色に感動しました。岸壁や渓谷の迫力ある光景は今でも目に焼きついています。
シュノーケリングでウミガメを見るのを楽しみにしていたのですが、遭遇できなかったのは残念でした。でも、カラフルな魚たちが泳ぐ海の中の世界はきれいでした!
