Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Fun and easy adventure

Reviewed by: Tami Lake

This cruise was so much fun. It started off with the tour guide walking us through so interesting facts. The staff was really funny. They made you feel comfortable. The hula dancer was really good. When the boat landed at the trail, it was really easy. It’s a good tour for elderly or those that are physically challenged. I say this because the hike is more like a short walk on a maintained path. It was great and very inexpensive.

Even with the kayak and hiking involved, the time spent at the falls was wonderul.
Logan was a great guide who shared his learned knowledge of the island and past customs with us.

I had a great time enjoying Hawaiian songs on the ukulele and hula dancing on the boat. It was an amazing experience to see the fern cave up close; it was a magnificent world.

Easy excursion for anybody! Pleasant entertainment and beautiful walk through manicured path to view Fern Grotto Cave. The help was very friendly to me - especially the guy who kept calling me Mrs. LaRusso since I have a strong NY accent.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

worth the time and effort!

Reviewed by: Carolyn

First, our Guide "G" was fantastic! He made all the difference with his knowledge of Kauai history, and educating us all along the hike and kayaking portion of the trip. Would recommend the earliest departure time of 7:45 if you don't want a lot of crowds both on the water and at the falls. As we were leaving around 11am to hike back to the kayaks, the falls were very crowded and busy, as was trail and the river on our return. Overall, worth the little effort it takes to see this very pretty part of Kauai.

This was an amazing afternoon on a river cruise x the scenery was so beautiful. Smiths team were entertaining and amazing historians they taught us loads about the river and the area round it the Ukelele plying and traditional dance including Hula felt so special.

Reviewed by: North Idahoans

Very relaxing cruise up the river. Beautiful scenery. Very friendly and helpful staff. Also enjoyed the witty sense of humor on the commentaries. The trail is not the best for the elderly and spots on the trail were difficult to maneuver a walker so highly suggest a wheelchair instead, but the scenery was well-worth the trip.

Fern Grotto in Kauai, Hawaii

Reviewed by: CDM

The large deck for viewing was definitely a plus from when I was there back in 2007. Just a little disappointing that the frems were so few. I guess that hurricane did more damage to the environment then I thought.
Music was wonderful as always.
Boat ride also pleasant. Guide giving information about the area along the river was very helpful.

シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船　ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く！＜英語ガイド／半日＞

It was a mystical power spot. 神秘的なパワースポットでした。

Reviewed by: 何でも体験チャレンジャー

As we cruised upstream on a boat along the gentle flow of the Waimea River, it was a delightful moment to wave at tourists kayaking downstream, all enjoying a fun holiday. After climbing the path surrounded by tropical plants and flowers from the dock, we reached a spot where water dripped down and long plant tendrils hung, revealing a dark opening. It is said to be a place that only the Hawaiian royal family could visit, but now it is a power spot where weddings can also be held. The tour lasted about two hours, and I felt a great sense of fulfillment.

ワイメア川の穏やかな流れを、上流へ向けて遊覧船で進むと、カヤックで下るツーリストと手を降りながら、お互いに楽しい休日を過ごしている一時でした。船着き場から南国の植物や、花に囲まれた遊歩道を上りきると上空に、したたる水と長い植物しだ？がたれて、黒く見える穴が確かにあった。ハワイ先住民の王族しか訪れることができなかった場所だそうだが。今は結婚式もできるパワースポット。2時間程のツアーだが、すごく充実感を味わえた。

シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船　ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く！＜英語ガイド／半日＞

It was within expectations. 一応想定内でした

Reviewed by: あやじゅん

On August 18th, I participated in the tour at 3:30 PM. There were only three of us Japanese, but about 70 people were on board, and the benches were about 80% full. After traveling upstream for nearly 30 minutes on a river where you hardly feel any current, we arrived at a small dock. From there, it was about a five-minute walk to the cave entrance. There was a collapse accident over a decade ago, and since then, entry to the interior has been prohibited. It felt like the remnants of a mining site, and the ferns were less lush than I expected. The staff performed songs and hula both in front of the cave and on the return boat. There was also a simple practical lecture, which was in English, and I enjoyed that.

8月18日、15時30分のツアーに参加しました。日本人は我々3名だけでしたが、70人くらいは乗船しベンチは8割方埋まっていました。流れをほとんど感じない川を30分弱上ると小さな船着場に到着、そこから5分ほど歩くと洞窟前に到着します。10数年前に崩落事故があり以後内部は立ち入り禁止です。採掘場の跡のような感じで、シダの茂り方も思ったより貧相な感じでした。洞窟前や帰りの船上でスタッフが歌やフラを披露してくれます。簡単な実技のレクチャーもあり、英語の解説ですがそれは楽しめました。

Relaxing, but go earlier.

Reviewed by: Brenda

It was a relaxing activity and great for littles, but I could sense the tiredness in the crew because we took the last tour of the day. Best to go earlier in the day. Also, be warned to bring bug spray with you on the jungle walk to the fern grotto! Fern grotto was beautiful, but hard to hear explanations over arguing children. Haha. Maybe it would be easier if thye had a loud speaker or megaphone at the fern grotto?

Fantastic!

Our guide, Logan, was absolutely fantastic. The hike was great, and three generations of our family were able to do it, from 70 years old to 7 years old. The kayaking was calm and pleasant, and the waterfall was truly amazing. We got plenty of time at the waterfall, and it wasn’t too crowded- we got photos of just our family in the waterfall. This was a highlight of our entire Hawaii trip!

While on this trip, we celebrated our 40th anniversary. We took the Wilua river cruise to the Fern Grotto 40 years ago on our honeymoon, and I'm happy to say that the best parts of this experience have not changed.
We were happy with the new decking in the Grotto, I only wish that they had wheel chairs available at the Grotto. My wife was unable to make it all the way to the main platform, so she missed out on the best part. Our main goal was four our three daughters and our grandson to see it, and they did!
Thank you for another great experience!

My experience to the Sacred Water Falls

Reviewed by: Silvana Behrens

I enjoyed the location, but it is impossible to appreciate it during the hike or walk … it was very fast and unable to take pictures…. The description was the hike was by the “flat river bed”, but is was not .. it was walking on top of boulders, branches, wet ground, steep up and down….and Too many groups at the same time (crowded) or overlapping .. our group had 15 minutes at the waterfalls, not enough time to eat or get into the waterfalls…which also was very crowded with other groups….
Our tour guide was excellent…!!

Great trip for any one that has problems walking or doing large hikes. Nice boat ride as you see nature along with kayakers . The more adventurous people would probably prefer that method of seeing the area. On the boat they taught a hula dance. Gave some interesting info on the walk. It is an easy trip.
