Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Better than any other luau we’ve been too!

Reviewed by: Sabra , 2022/04/17

This was such a good luau! My teens are still ranting and raving over how much better this one was than the others we’ve been too. They really loved all different stories alongside all the different dances. Even our friends kids 5 years and below loved it! The wall in was long- but they offer a tram for anyone who needs it so that’s awesome. I love how the pathway was lit with tiki torches to get you in the mood. This is a show, not really an engaging show where they invite you to the stage so that’s nice to not be put on the spot. I wish they offered booze and drinks for the show but we just did the show portion so maybe it was included in the food part. My 2 year old fell asleep for the show, so maybe if they offered an earlier show like 7pm she would’ve been awake and I would’ve preferred that. Thank you for a great show!

Luau

Reviewed by: Beverly Kramer , 2022/03/22

Everything about our evening was perfect. From the beautiful gardens, show, and dinner. When we visit Kauai again we will definitely be going back to see Smith’s luau. We had more enough to eat and were encouraged to go back for seconds. The open bar was great! The Smith family are so friendly and welcoming ❤️

  • Luau begins

  • Hawaiian music while we ate our dinner

  • Salad before dinner

  • I had to get a little of everything

  • Taking the pig out of the ground and learning about the Hawaiian culture.

  • Beautiful gardens

We had a fantastic time at the luau. It was my wife and I on an anniversary trip and a Luau was a must. I am confident I picked the best one with the Smith's. Entertainment quality was awesome, food was as well. Staff was super friendly and the gardens were immaculate. You won't be disappointed.

Luau Kalamaku - Kauai Polynesian Show with Hula & Fire Dancers

Kids love feeding the pigs

Reviewed by: Vjg, 2022/03/13

This is our second time to this luau and although it has not changed much it was still a memorable event. There were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children. The kids loved taking the train and feeding the pigs tortilla wraps. This is a highlight for them. The meal is on time, well organized, efficient and the staff do an amazing job of keeping it all running smoothly. The food is not inspired nor unique in any way. The pork is very tasty though and I thought the chicken thighs were well prepared. The desserts need a revamp as jiggly squares and pineapple cake and tiny tarts of nondescript filling are not worth the big bucks.
The show is well preformed and really another job well done.
Everyone loves a guy throwing fire up in the air.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Great 1st time Luau experience!

Reviewed by: Heather, 2021/10/01

The Smith Family grounds were beautiful from the moment you walk in. Everything was so visually appealing and everyone was so nice. They take you around the entire grounds in a trolley so you can see everything beforehand. Plus you have time to walk around after the trolley ride. We enjoyed it all even the rain, the unveiling of the pig ceremony, the dinner entertainment, the explanation of the luau dance moves, the Smith Family, the dinner, and the luau show. We would definitely return. I believe it is a must see, especially for those who have never been to the Smith Family Luau before. Keep up the great work Smith family.

Highly recommend this venue. Had an absolutely wonderful time our last evening in Kauai. The whole family enjoyed the electrifying dancers, fabulous storytelling, wonderful costumes, engaging wait staff, and an all-around wonderful experience. It was the perfect evening on our last night with the family.

There’s some thing here for everyone to enjoy and be entertained by.

Mahalo for taking the time out of your vacation to join our family at the luau. Keeping our culture alive for future generations is an important aspect of our family business. We have some hope that the next generation will want to continue the tradition. Aloha...

Best Luau EVER!

Reviewed by: Barbara Garcia, 2020/02/21

What a great Luau! It has the down home feel of family since it’s all the Smith Family clan putting it on. It is located on a beautiful site by the Wailua River with beautiful gardens and birds to walk amongst. The food was fabulous and more than you could ever eat. An open bar. Who does that?! The dinner entertainment was great and then the show!! Best show around. Beautiful theatre and stage and not just any old Hawaiian dances but something from every culture that created the Islands and all with a story to tell. Just can’t say enough! They even walk you out to the parking lot to say Aloha❤️ LOVED IT❤️❤️

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Fun Kauai Luau

Reviewed by: DrJPaulWede, 2019/12/01

My wife and I had a fun and entertaining experience at the Smith Family Luau. Transportation by bus was prompt from the Nawiliwili cruise pier. We were greeted with shell leis and had a quick tram tour of the gardens. My wife absolutely loved taking photos of the gardens flora. After the tram ride we watched the roasted pig be unearthed from the underground cooking pit. Then we went to the large pavilion where pre-dinner cocktails were served. I saw the crowd and said to myself “oh brother”, but the bartenders had a system set up that made the lines move quickly and getting drinks was no problem. We we called up by tables for the buffet, which also moved quickly, and the authentic Hawaiian fare was delicious! During this time we were entertained with Hawaiian music and dance. After the delicious food and drink, we walked over to the amphitheater to view the evening dance entertainment. As it was well after dark, the stage was lit and had a live band playing most of the dance numbers. We were treated to native Hawaiian, Tahitian, Philippine, Japanese, and Maori dances. After the show, we made our way to the buses and back to the pier. The entire experience took about 4 hours.

Recommendations include wearing bug spray, especially for the outdoor show, and if you would like a leisurely, extensive tour of the gardens, get there before 5 o’clock, to beat the crowds and the sunset.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Veltra. When we got to the site, the operators mistakenly charged us for transportation, which had already been paid in the original purchase. As we were a “captive audience” at the time, I went ahead and paid it again, and would sort it out later. The next day, I received an email from Veltra stating that they caught the error, and would refund the amount to my credit card. A few days later, I received the credited amount. I didn’t have to lift a finger. Now that’s proactive customer service!

The Smith family really make you feel like ohana! The show is excellent, with dances from the many cultures that make up the Hawaiian people. The fire knife dance is really mesmerizing!

Beautiful experience

Reviewed by: Irene M, 2019/11/09

We were originally not going to attend a luau but decided last minute to do so as this was recommended by locals as a must do experience. The family and staff were wonderful, absolutely loved talking to the Aunties. The food was good with a variety to choose from. The show incorporated different dances representing the different backgrounds in Hawaiian culture in addition to the Polynesian beginnings. The gardens were beautiful. Definitely recommend this luau as you get not just food and a show but a chance to walk through the gardens with a tram tour to start and also to talk to the friendly staff. They all have such wonderful stories and experiences to share!

  • Too much food to choose from but must have the kalua pork!
