Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Nice little trip
Activity Date: 2025/04/14 | Posted on: 2025/05/10
Its a cheap, pretty trip down the river and then you get to see a really pretty spot with a little cave and waterfall in a jungle like setting. Id say go. It only takes a couple hours. Guides were sometimes funny, sometimes looked like they were in hell lol, but it didn't matter, it was fun. You should go.

The river cruise to the fern grotto was a lot of fun. The local info shared was insightful and gave us several other sites to see. The entertainment was well done and fun. The walk up to the grotto was beautiful! All in all, a great outing that was a lot of fun.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Core memories made!
Activity Date: 2025/02/24 | Posted on: 2025/03/05
This kayaking and hiking adventure was so awesome! I was worried the kayaking and hike might be difficult but it was perfect! I’ve never been kayaking before and this was a great intro for me! The hike was absolutely beautiful as well and mostly on a board walk which is nice so you’re not having to climb through or slip in the mud. The waterfall was a tad dried up but still so
beautiful and fun to swim to. Our guide Jeff was awesome as well. Very kind and friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai. I would HIGHLY recommend the is excursion and would love to do it again!

Aloha Tingey,
Your guide Jeffrey will be happy to know that you enjoyed the paddle and hike to the falls.
For most the learning curve for paddling a kayak is fast, but then there are some….
Anyway, come back and hopefully the waterfall will be primed and gushing (we have had a dry winter so far)
Thanks for taking the time to share.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide

Awesome Experience/Thank you Jeffrey
Activity Date: 2024/12/30 | Posted on: 2025/01/01
This was one of the best (if not THE best) Hawaii adventure we've been on yet. Paddling and steering the kayak was definitely difficult for us older newbies, but we were able to figure it out and not capsize.
Our guide Jeffrey was very experienced and showed great patience with the group; we felt like he was one of the reasons we enjoyed the experience so much.
Thanks again for the memories...

Aloha Barbie n Ken,
Wow! "The best" Hawaii adventure? Will if truth be told we really…really try to put on a good show we are never as good as our guides who are hand picked and give 100%+
Jeff is the consummate guide and has raised the bar and is a real pro.
Lastly, thanks for advising folks that the trail to paradise can be slippery.

Aloha Utahan,
Like others who have had the good fortune to be in the company of Izzie, your guide Izzy has a growing fan club.
If Izzy knew it, she could fast become an influencer.
Seriously, Izzy has raised the bar for all guides plying the Wailua River on their way to enjoying the Sacred/Secret Falls.
Thanks for taking the time and Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou,

This trip was fine, and thankfully inexpensive. The entertainers seemed to not want to be there. They went through the motions, but weren’t excited. The fern grotto was cool to see, and it was neat to go through a jungle.

We really enjoyed the trip on the river with the explanation for what we were seeing and the explanation of the grotto. The Captain and Crew were friendly and accommodated our special needs, my aunt with a walker. This is a tour I highly recommend for anyone visiting Kauai.

Guides were entertaining, knowledgeable, and funny! They shared lots of information about the land, and culture. The boat ride was smooth and relaxing up river, and fun coming back down river. The Grotto is breathtaking! Quick easy hike to and from the grotto.

Aloha Jen,
Your kind review almost fell through the crack (if truth be told was trekking in Peru). Back to work.
Will share your kind review with Jeffrey. Your guide Jefferey is calm, collected and informative without loosing that sense of fun and safety.
We are getting the kayaks and personnel ready for your visit.
Thanks for recommending us.

We need Izzy to write a handbook.
