It was a nice experience, getting the flavor of Hawaii songs and dance and also that was a short walk to a cave filled with germs that was really awesome.

The crew were super friendly and kind. The live music and the commentary of the guide was very entertaining and informative through-out. The river ride was pleasant and breezy. Definitely a nice experience if you want to do with family. We went to the Fern Grotto at the end of the cruise and the short walk to the grotto through the tropical forest was so cool. Overall a neat thing to do in Kauai.

We had a wonderful time on this mini cruise to Fern Grotto. We loved hearing about it's history, listening to the music and being entertained by a talented group of people. Every seat was a good one for views and the short walk to the grotto was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this relaxing trip!

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。
My husband wore an aloha shirt, and I dressed up in a casual yet long dress. I was glad that most people were dressed nicely, so we didn't feel out of place.
夫はアロハシャツ、私は、カジュアルだけどロングドレスで、お洒落していきました。
ほとんどの人が、お洒落して来られてて、場違いにならずによかったと思いました。

This is my first time visiting Kauai, even though it's my ninth trip to Hawaii. It's the filming location of Elvis Presley's movie "Blue Hawaii." Memories of my youth come rushing back. I've always wanted to visit here, so I'm overwhelmed with emotion.
I came with my husband, and we are a couple aged 70 and 69. It's said that couples who visit here will find happiness. We took a boat tour that lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes round trip. At the fern cave, we landed and enjoyed hula dancing and music.
There were only two other families of Japanese couples and their daughters who were around the same age as us. Although everything was in English, we had no trouble communicating.
It was a romantic and sacred-feeling place. I tried to upload photos, but unfortunately, I couldn't.
ハワイ9回目にして初めてのカウアイ島。
エルビスプレスリーの映画「ブルーハワイ」のロケ地。
青春の思い出が蘇ってきます。一度訪れてみたいと思っていたので、感無量です。
夫と二人で来ました。70才と69才の夫婦。ここを訪れたカップルは幸せになれるとか、言われています。船に乗って、往復で1時間20分のツアーでした。シダの洞窟では、上陸してフラダンスや音楽を鑑賞しました。
日本人は、私たち夫婦と同じ年代のご夫婦と娘さんのご家族の二組だけでした。
英語だけですが、言葉の不自由はないです。
ロマンチックで、かつ、神聖な感じのする場所でした。
写真が、アップしようとしたのですが、できなくて残念です。
Couples should definitely visit.
カップルの人は、是非、訪れてください。

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.
