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

Lovely evening

Reviewed by: Deedee

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.

The Fern Grotto tour was a great precursor to the Smith Family Luau. The trek was interesting, and we learned some historical facts, and saw some beautiful scenery. The hula dancing was fun (to watch). It was well worth the time

Fine way to kill 2 hours but nothing special

Reviewed by: BobKondz

It is what it claims. You sit and ride up the river to a short hike to a natural feature where water drips over cavernous undercut. On tour they explained a few things but the acoustics where I sat weren't great to understand everything. Between that they sang some Hawaiian songs. All fine. Just wouldn't expect too much.

A very fun river cruise

Reviewed by: Love to Travel

While in Kauai with family we decided to try the Smith Family Fern Grotto River Cruise, which was an awesome choice of entertainment. We love history and learning about places we visit, so we were pleasantly surprised when the beginning of the cruise was a full narration of the interesting history and geography of the Waimea River. The crew led us to the breathtaking Fern Grotto and enhanced the experience with beautiful music. On the way back to the dock we were entertained with music and dancing, which was very fun. The trip ended much too soon! The cost was very reasonable. We would highly recommend this trip!

Cody and team were funny and attentive. The tubing was a blast. Definitely bring a long sleeve rash guard or if you get cold quickly seriously consider renting wet suit top. About 3 in our group of about 20 got quite cold. Rest of us were fine. This is a must do when on Kauai.

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 Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Enjoyable couple of hours.

Reviewed by: Kelman

The Fern Grotto trip was a lovely experience from beginning to end. First: the price is right! There are so many expensive things to do on Kauai, but we thought the $35 per person fee was worth it. The boat is wide and very stable (no waves!!) and is covered overtop (no rain and no sunburn). However the sides are completely open and we enjoyed the air and very slight breeze. The captain gave nice narration on the way to the grotto with interesting facts about the area. On the trip back, there was a hula show with singing. It was more like a family show than a Hollywood production which was fine with us. I was amazed at the care and assistance provided to a lady in a wheelchair, several who had walkers, and some with canes. Once arriving at the Grotto, the boat crew guides you on a cement path to the viewing area. Then they sing the Hawaiian Wedding Song which was nice. My younger brother was married at the Fern Grotto about 40 years ago, so that was meaningful to me. There were restrooms at the Grotto area. No food or drink is served. Tour lasted a total of 2 hours. Plenty of parking.
