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

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Great adventure
Reviewed by: KNC
Great time kayaking down the river. Fun and muddy hike to a beautiful waterfall. We had lunch there and a swim and then started the trip back. Harrison was our guide so knowledge and helpful. Recommend this fun adventure.
Make sure you have good shoes for hiking in the mud.
Aloha KNC,
Thanks for recommending us and for the 5 stars. On our hike to the falls we ask folks to at times to "embrace the mud" and while you are, Harrison is there to keep it fun, safe and informed.
And yes…some sort of aqua shoes or beater tennis shoes should work.

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.

Our family of six had a great day on the paddle and hike to Secret Falls. Our guide was Harrison and he was amazing. Fun, helpful, and gave us all kinds of cool facts and stories about the flora and fauna and people of the area. He even got a bird to eat a worm out of my daughter’s hand! The falls were huge and beautiful. An absolutely great day!
Get Harrison as your guide!
Also, wear shoes that you don’t mind ruining- serious mud on the hike!
Aloha Great Family Adventure,

All our guides not only keep you safe but are well versed in the cultural and natural history of the areas traversed.

It was an experience like a theme park as we went down the river to the fern cave. The content was neither good nor bad; it was just average. It's worth going at least once. I think once is enough. If I go again, I would like to go for kayaking.
川を下ってシダの洞窟に行くわけですが、テーマパークのような体験でした。
内容は可もなく不可もなく普通でした。
一度は行っておこうかと言うレベルです。

I thought I might get bitten by mosquitoes, so I wore long sleeves, but there weren't any. There's nothing in particular to be careful about. Just relax and enjoy!
