Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Beautiful Time

Reviewed by: Linda and Family

Smith's Luau was a wonderful experience for us. I brought my daughter and 3 grandsons ages 9, 10, and 12, and we all enjoyed it. The grounds are perfect, the staff is very professional, and the show was excellent. The food was great, it was the best pig I have ever eaten. When I go back to Kauai, I will definately go back for another of the Smiths' Family Luau. Thanks for having us and sharing your beautiful grounds with us.

The food was very good. I have seen shows at other luaus that I enjoyed more. This show seems to be family members and I prefer the shows that seek the best talent.

The cruise was very relaxing with the cool breeze on your face. It would even be better if you had hammock, but i do realize that maybe impossible.

Wailea River Cruise

Reviewed by: Maria Lee

The cruise was short but sufficient for the price. I recommend taking the 3:30 cruise and then going to the Smith Luau right beside the docks. Excellent site and entertainment and also worth the price.

We really enjoyed the entertainment aboard the boat. It was nice to see the fern grotto even if it wasn't as spectacular as the picture shown. Mother Nature has a way of changing things.

Could be better

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This is the second time I have taken this cruise, and I remember it being better before. Granted, part of the reason is not being able to go up to the actual Fern Grotto (one was able to walk through it before). It is a very pretty site, but I'm not sure that it is worth the price.

I have been to the Smith's Luau many times as a couple and with family and friends over the years. As a child I went to the Fern Grotto with members of the Smith family on their private boat long before it became commercialized. I highly recommend these activities to anyone. The entire family makes everyone feel a personalized welcome and are anxious to make your occasion very special.

伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー ハワイ伝統の神聖儀式イム鑑賞付き<ワイルア・マリーナ・ステート・パーク内/夕食付き>

The fire dance is impressive. ファイアーダンスは見応えあります。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

From 5 PM, you can either ride the electric tram for an hour or take a walk to explore the garden. If you're short on time, you just need to arrive at the venue by 6 PM. I was really looking forward to the sacred ritual of 'imu' (digging up the pig), but it turned out to be just two men digging in the ground, which felt a bit underwhelming. Most of the participants seemed to be Westerners. There were many tour groups, and after the imu ceremony, we moved to the dining area. As expected, it was quite crowded, making it difficult to find a seat. Seats were reserved for tour guests, so individual customers had to find their own, and with so many foreigners around, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a seat. Once seated, it was cocktail time, and drinks like Mai Tais were plentiful. Beer and various cocktails could be ordered at the counter for free. After that, we went in line to get buffet food, but I didn't understand the English instructions at all, so I mistakenly took food before it was my turn. During the meal, there was live band music, which was nice, but since we had to move to a different area for the luau, I felt I couldn't relax and ended up moving to the next venue early. This moving around was a hassle and felt unsettling. The luau lasted an hour and featured a stage with elaborate lighting. The concept was to dance from various countries across the Pacific and promote friendship, and there was even a Japanese dance, but for some reason, the song title was "Ka~rasu naze naku no~," which was quite puzzling for Japanese people. The final fire dance was spectacular, and I wished they had shown more of that. It felt more like watching a show rather than experiencing a traditional luau.

17時から1時間は電動トラムにのってもいいし、歩いてもガーデンを散策する時間で、時間がない方は18時までに会場にはいればいいかんじです。神聖な儀式のイム(豚を土から掘り出す)をけっこう楽しみにしてたんですが、ほんとに男の人2人で土を掘るだけで別になんだかなという感じでした。参加者はばっとみたかんじ欧米人が大半でした。ツアーの人が多く、イムセレモニーの後、食事をする場所に移動するのですが、さすがに人気と言うだけあって、人が多く、席をさがすのに大変でした。ツアーのお客さんように席がとってあって、個人客は自分で探さないといけないし、外人ばっかりで、席とれないかとおもいました。席につくと、カクテルタイムで、マイタイなどはもうふんだんに作っておいてあって、ビールと各種お好みのカクテルはカウンターで注文して(無料)飲めました。そのあと、列ごとにバイキングの食事をとりに行くのですが、英語の説明なんかまったくわかんなかったので、知らなくて、まだ自分の順番でないのに食事を取ってきてしまいました。食事中はバンドの生演奏があって、いいかんじだけど、ルアウの場所も食事の場所から移動しないといけないので、うかうか食べてられないと思い、早々に次の会場へ移動しました。この会場移動がめんどくさいし、落ち着きませんでした。ルアウは1時間あって、照明を多用したこったステージです。太平洋をはさんで、各国の踊りを踊って、みんな仲良くしようねと言うコンセプトがあって、日本の踊りもあったけど、なぜか曲名はカ~ラスなぜなくの~で、日本人からするとかなりはぁ?っていう内容でした。最後のファイアーダンスだけはすばらしくって、これをもっとみせてほしいなぁと思いました。ルアウをみるというよりショーを見る感じ。伝統的なルアウの内容ではありませんでした。
