All Reviews for Kauai Luaus & Tickets

The ride down the river was so peaceful and beautiful. The walk through the fern grotto was also very pleasant.. beautiful things to see.

This is probably the best Luau we have ever been to!

The only issue we had was checking in as they seemed to not be able to find our reservation.

The staff was the best. That's for sure, and the show was awesome.
My wife and I felt like we were thoroughly taken care of and we so much enjoyed the evening.

Garden is beautiful. Food was great. Ceremony was cool. I would recommend it!

Really enjoyed the food and entertainment both while eating and fabulous Polynesian show afterwards. Even liked the poi. I ate it with the lomi lomi salmon and it was really great that way. The Polynesian show was one of the best saw here on the Islands. Had a great story line that really made the show. Great music all the way through.

We enjoyed a tram tour through the gardens prior to the Imu ceremony, explaining the cooking process of the Kalua pig. Everyone on the property was welcoming and made out experience great. Food was typical luau fare, and seconds were offered after everyone had been through the line once. Bar was open for drinks, and we were allowed to take them over to the show at the pavilion for the show. The show provides some history, different cultures that melded in to current Hawai’i. It was very interesting. Overall a lovely evening.

Loved the cruise to the Fern Grotto, the food was excellent and lots of it. The drinks were great. Above all were the performers. Wonderfully talented people that put on an action packed show of Hawaiian culture and traditions.
Thank you Smith family!

Well organized even if our party did not show up at same time. We were a party of 12. Dinner was efficient. No coconut cake tho. My son and his new bride got married that day and so the luau served as their reception. We were thrilled this couple was made note of. We were happy with our choice of luau. Maholo.

Smith’s Family Garden Luau was a wonderful Kauai experience. The tropical garden setting was beautiful and inviting, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

The show was engaging, energetic, and beautifully showcased the Hawaiian culture!

The highlight was the show. You can truly feel the pride and heart the Smith family puts into this luau!

Been to two other luaus. This was by far the best. It’s a full experience not just good and dance. Beautiful grounds. Awesome staff. Amazing entertainment. Lots of delicious food and drink. We loved it.

My family loved the show learned much about Havaii lol and still talking and asking about what they saw days later. Thank you

Host was great for all to feel welcomed and gave lots of amazing facts about the Lua. The food was delicious and plentiful.

This was a great Luau. We had heard great review about this and we are so glad we experienced it. The grounds were beautiful, the food was delicious and the show was excellent. The excursion was well organized.

We recently attended the dinner show and overall, it was a very decent experience—definitely worth checking out at least once. It came highly recommended, and while parts lived up to the reviews, I did leave feeling slightly underwhelmed in a few areas.

The food was decent, but my family and I were hoping for more traditional Hawaiian dishes. I was especially looking forward to laulau and Hawaiian mac salad, which weren’t on the menu. While the meal was fine, it didn’t quite match the authenticity I’ve experienced at other luaus on different islands. That said, the piña colada was excellent!

The pre-show, including the unearthing of the pig, wasn’t quite what I expected, but the grounds were absolutely beautiful—immaculately maintained and fun to walk through, especially with the live animals.

Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. The Smith family did a great job hosting, and the main host was especially entertaining and engaging. Their humor and hospitality were highlights of the evening

The grounds are always fun to walk around and see, lots of nice photos areas to take with family members or loved ones. The Smith family is very welcoming and inviting. They give you lots of background information about the traditional ways of life. The food is all so delicious 😋. Always enjoy going there and would go back for sure. Thank you so very much ❤️.

This was my first time visiting Kauai, even though it was my ninth trip to Hawaii. It was the most enjoyable luau experience I've ever had.

First, after checking in, we were guided on a tram through the beautiful Smith's garden, which features peacocks and more. After that, we watched the imu ceremony and then had our meal.

During the meal, there was a band performance. A tall man who greeted us spoke to us in broken Japanese. He helped guide my husband and me, who were participating individually, to our seats. I later learned that he was Kamika Smith, the organizer. He went up on stage and sang beautifully, leaving us mesmerized. Mrs. Smith also welcomed us. After finishing our meal, we took a nice walk to the stage, which was just the right amount of exercise after eating. There was even a garden that resembled a Japanese garden. It was a beautiful garden.

I had read in the guidebook that the show included not only Hawaiian and Tahitian dances but also dances from other countries, such as New Zealand, Korea, China, Japan, and the Philippines. However, I discovered something when we got there. There were no Chinese or Korean guests that day; my husband and I were the only Asians. The Asian dance presented as a foreign dance was actually the Tokyo Ondo from Japan. I couldn't help but feel that the Smith family must have chosen the music based on where the attendees were from. Instead of Chinese or Korean dances, we had the Tokyo Ondo. I was deeply moved.

The food was delicious, and above all, I was so happy to have had a conversation with Kamika Smith himself and to experience the warm hospitality of the Smith family.

ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。今まで体験したルアウ・ショーの中で、一番楽しめた体験でした。
　まず、チェックインしたあと孔雀などのいる美しいスミスさんの庭園をトラムで案内していただきます。そのあと、イムの儀式を見て、お食事になります。
　食事の間には、バンド演奏をしていただきます。声をかけてくださった背の高い男性が、片言の日本語で話しかけてくださいました。ツアーの人が多く、個人参加の私たち夫婦を彼が、席に案内してくださいました。日本に帰ってから知ったのですが、彼が、カミカ・スミスさんでした。主催者さんだったのです。彼は、ステージに上がり、歌われたのですが、うっとりするほど、お上手でした。スミス婦人も歓迎してくださいました。食事が終わったあと、ステージまで、歩いていきました。ちょうどいい食事の後の散歩タイムでした。日本庭園のようなものもありました。美しいお庭です。
　ショーは、ハワイアンやタヒチダンスだけでなく、他の国、ニュージーランドや韓国、中国、日本、フィリピンなど多国の踊りもあると事前にガイドブックで知っていましたが、行って初めて知ったことがあります。それは、当日のお客さんに中国や韓国の人はおられず、アジア人は私たち夫婦二人だけでした。外国の踊りとして披露いただいたアジアの踊りは、日本の東京音頭だったのです。スミスファミリーさんは、出席者がどこから来てるのかを見て、選曲されてるとしか思えなかったのです。中国、韓国の踊りでなく東京音頭だったのです。感激しました。
　食事も美味しかったし、何といってもカミカ・スミスさんご本人とお話しできたこと、温かいスミスファミリーのおもてなしに幸せな時間を過ごさせていただきました。

Absolutely fantastic evening, great food and show! It’s a must do for your first time here.

We missed out on the food so make sure you book early, but the show was still fabulous!

What a special evening, the crew there works their butts off to put on a show!

I enjoyed the varied cultures of the Hawaiian Islands that were shown in dance.
the dancers were very talented.

Wonderful family Luau ! Food, service and show were amazing. Drinks were a little lacking but overall a great experience !!

Show was awesome, service was outstanding. Food was just ok .

Food was fantastic and plentiful. The entertainment was wonderful. The facilities are so beautiful. Absolutely amazing evening. Worth every penny.

I was with my husband celebrating my birthday and I had a nice time.

We had a great time at the Smith’s Luau. Enjoyed the atmosphere and food. The experience was amazing and the entertainment was excellent!!

The food was excellent. Even though the venue was large and held many people, it was very efficiently organised.

Open bar had a great selection of drinks

The show had a pre- show. the band played while we were having dinner and there were some songs sung by the cast.

The show itself had a great story line and you could tell that the performers are proud to be part of the cast.

You ARE NOT called up on stage. A good thing.

Great value for money as well.

This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!

We have done a few other luaus on other islands, and this one really felt like Hawaii natives brought you in!

The wide range of dances were amazing, beautiful and authentic. The dance from the Phillippines was so cute and eye-catching. The fire shows were incredible. Their skill is super-human. This was a memorable evening.
