All Reviews for Kauai Top Sights & Attractions

I have been to Hawaii 3 times now, and gone to a different luau each time. I have to say Smith's was the best one yet. The grounds are beautiful with plenty to see and lots of photo oppotunities. The food was great with friendly, prompt staff, and the show was spectacular. Smith's Luau is a must!

My wife and I had a great time on the boat, the
Captain was very good at knowing the laws governing the missle base, he slowed going up the coast after hearing over the radio they were going to launch a missle. He and the crew kept a sharp eye on the surface for any ocean activity that he could get close to while we slowed, when we got past the site he showed us some incredible scenery on the Na pali shore, my wife and I thought it was the most beautiful area we have ever seen. The snorkeling part was the only draw back, it just seemed like we were the ten thousand and one boat load of people to visit that spot. The water was nice but it was just a time killer. Overall it was worth the money and the time, The Captain and Crew did a great job, it was well worth the trip.

The Smith's Luau was amazing, great food, drink and the best entertainment I have enjoyed at a Luau , the Pork was delightful, and a very nice choice of foods to pick from. I really was impressed on the whole evening as the Smiths really have it down to a tee ,for organization, also great customer service and never ending smiles ...the grounds were spectacular !. I would definatley go back . Aloha !

The boat ride was so-so, the comentary was great but with a covered ride it was difficult to see the attractions. Upon arrival we were amazed at the folage and the Fern Grotto, very impressive, would I do it again ? no, been there done that but would reccomend to first timers to the Island.

This was my single most fun experience of Kauai and a definite must for anyone who wants to have some memorable fun! The staff members were wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly, informed, and safety-focused while making sure everyone had a great time.

They made sure that you could safely drive the machines and could handle the trails. The guide (Tom) added many interesting stories and stops that made the trip special. The wildlife that we saw really added to the experience. The area was not overcrowded or overused. Ask for Tom as your guide! I would have added photos but my files were too large.

I was one of the unlucky guests who experienced sea sickness. Looking back I think I could have avoided this unfortunate condition if I had consumed more water before and during the tour. I think a motion sickness medicine would have been good for me as well. I haven't had a lot of experience with boat tours, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I will next time. Even though I was sick during half of this tour I would still recommend it. The captain and crew were awesome! They were very attentive and provided a lot of information about the Na Pali coast, which is remote and beautiful. They went out of there way to make sure everyone had what they needed to have a great time. Actually, the next time I'm in Kauai I would try this tour again with the precautions I mentioned earlier. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was an excellent adventure. A little more about the type of "cruise" would have been helpful on the internet and booking information.

The whole experience was terrific. The food was delicious and the entertainment was great. Thank you!!!

We had a great time and really enjoyed the cruise.

Smith's Luau was a wonderful experience for us. I brought my daughter and 3 grandsons ages 9, 10, and 12, and we all enjoyed it. The grounds are perfect, the staff is very professional, and the show was excellent. The food was great, it was the best pig I have ever eaten. When I go back to Kauai, I will definately go back for another of the Smiths' Family Luau. Thanks for having us and sharing your beautiful grounds with us.

The scuba diving was fun. I'd recommend for first timers to minimize their trip to just the single tank dive, so they can decide if it is really something they would like. It does get tiring fairly quickly, so a single trip, while it may seem short, is more than enough for the first time. I'd recommend also going straight to the Sheraton reef where you are GUARANTEED to see at least a few sea turtles and get some great pictures. It takes a while to acclimate to the undersea pressure, so if you have the slightest hint of a cold don't go! Seriously, your ears will thank you! I had a headache and trouble hearing for days after my dive. Small price to pay for what I got to see, but you might take some extra vitamins the few days up to your dive, just in case.

The food was very good. I have seen shows at other luaus that I enjoyed more. This show seems to be family members and I prefer the shows that seek the best talent.

On time, friendly, engaging. Always worth a trip to see the Grotto.

This was the first time I join this kind of activity. It was a great experience!!! The guide Kevin was very very professional and create a very nice atmosphere. The whole thing turn out so great and I will never forget the expereice of jumping in the river from the rope!!
Excellent weather, excellent guide make my day perfect and unforgettable!!
I definitely will join again if I have another chance.

The cruise was very relaxing with the cool breeze on your face. It would even be better if you had hammock, but i do realize that maybe impossible.

The cruise was short but sufficient for the price. I recommend taking the 3:30 cruise and then going to the Smith Luau right beside the docks. Excellent site and entertainment and also worth the price.

Chad our pilot with Blue Hawaiian provided us a great tour of Kauai. He was knowledgeable, personable, and most importantly a safe helicopter pilot. The tens of 3000ft waterfalls around Mt. Waialeale and the Na Pali coast were awesome! This was certainly one of the highlights of my Hawaiian vacation.

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau. The snorkeling was the best that we have ever seen- clear blue water, lots of fish and plenty of time to snorkel. The colors of the water were incomparable- sapphire blue, azure, teal,aquamarine and garnet green-spectacular. The service and the crew were great- they really knew all about the islands and they were experts on snorkeling.
We would go again in a heartbeat!!

What made this trip enjoyable was the entertaining crew members!

We really enjoyed the entertainment aboard the boat. It was nice to see the fern grotto even if it wasn't as spectacular as the picture shown. Mother Nature has a way of changing things.

They took great care of my two neices. I felt secure that they were in safe hands. What fun personalities the staff have...we would recommend it to families and anyone that is looking for something new. The Staff really made an fun tour into a truly unique experience!

Staff always extremely friendly and knowledgible. The entire experience is beautiful and unique. Picnic and swimming site is also terrific. Everytime we visit and will visit Kauai we will do our mountain tubing.
Thank you for pleasant memories once again.

This is the second time I have taken this cruise, and I remember it being better before. Granted, part of the reason is not being able to go up to the actual Fern Grotto (one was able to walk through it before). It is a very pretty site, but I'm not sure that it is worth the price.

I have been to the Smith's Luau many times as a couple and with family and friends over the years. As a child I went to the Fern Grotto with members of the Smith family on their private boat long before it became commercialized. I highly recommend these activities to anyone. The entire family makes everyone feel a personalized welcome and are anxious to make your occasion very special.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the show.Every part of the show was first class.

We would book this adventure again!

The captain and his crew were great. They did everything to ensure that we had a pleasurable time. The Na pali coast is incredible. Trip was good for all ages. The water can be rough, so beware if you are prone to seasickness. Only problem was hawaii activities gave us the wrong checkin time. We sat around for 1/2 hour waiting for the checkin. Also the cruise ended alot later then
we had anticipated. But in the big scheme of things , no big deal.

Had a great time. Kayaking looks easier than it is, as it was tough to keep the kayak going straight. Nonetheless, we had a great time and the Secret Falls were absolutely beautiful.

This was a great event. We enjoyed the tour, the food and the luau. We had a great time.
