It was great to do hula dancing together on the return boat; everyone was friendly. The cost performance is outstanding.

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

Early Bird Gets the Best Tour!

Reviewed by: Annette

Who could pass up a tradition of Hawaiian tourism that has been in operation since 1947?! The Smith family was awesome. They were very friendly and kind. We were fortunate to be on the first boat of the day and in a small group. The morning was cool yet very comfortable. While we waited for our tour to start, the on-board talented trio of musicians were taking requests, joking and visiting with the passengers. Once on the river, the captain gave us an overview of the points of interests along the way as we passed stand-up-paddle boarders and kayakers enjoying the quiet river too. We were treated to a beautiful hula demonstration, native music and an improv hula lesson! After a short walk to the grotto, our "guide" explained some of the history and folk lore about the grotto, afterwards, they sang the Hawaiian Wedding song to us. It would be fun to go back again!

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's irresistible for hula dance lovers. フラダンス好きにはたまらない

Reviewed by: Y・千鶴子

In front of the cave of the ferns, I was able to see a Hawaiian wedding song and a solemn hula dance. On the return boat, there were five Japanese people, so they provided a service of Japanese songs and performed hula dances. At the end, everyone had a hula lesson, and we all danced together in the small boat. I was really into the song we learned! It was a satisfying tour!

シダの洞窟前で、ハワイアンウェディングの歌と、厳かなフラダンスを
見る事が出来ました。そして、帰りの舟の中では ウクレレや日本人が5名いたので日本の歌のサービス、フラダンスを踊ってくれたのです、最後は全員にフラのレッスン、みんなで狭い舟中で踊りました。習った曲だった私はノリノリ!満足!のツアーでした。

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Great time!

Reviewed by: Trevor

The kayaking part was nice, not too difficult. The hike was a nice hike, not quite a casual walk down a straight path but also not too difficult. I enjoyed having our guide Jesse there to explain things to us as we hiked, he was a good guide. He got stuck talking to just one individual of our group a few times and it was hard to hear what he was saying sometimes. The waterfall was nice, there were a lot of boulders in the water so be careful! Lots of other people from other tours on the same path made it a bit crowded.

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

I just don't enjoy large group tours

Reviewed by: Linsey

This is a great tour for those that want an easy, non-strenuous ride up and back on the river. I just did not enjoy being packed in with that many people to see the attraction after hiking and adventuring all week and then going on a garden tour directly before this one. I thought it was the only way to get to the grotto, and didn't like being herded in a huge group to see the ferns and hurry and take a photo. We really wished we knew that renting kayaks from the same company was an option because that looked way more our style. Aside from that, the staff was nice and gave an informative tour and musical entertainment for the ride. Best suited for older or more conservative tourists.

Smith's luau

Reviewed by: itlbfun

The luau is just average. The show portion of the luau is in a "theater" type setting making it seem removed from the luau. The food was ok. They did try hard to accommodate my food allergy and prepared a separate plate for me.

Beautiful Property

Reviewed by: Randi Ellenbest

We went to this luau with our two adult daughters. It was such a beautiful place to explore! We were able to walk around and take pictures. The dinner was good and nicely displayed. There was a little of something for everyone to like. The show was very good and entertaining. It got a little hard to sit for that long on the forward slanted seating though. I would recommend for a fun night.

Supreme Hospitality

Reviewed by: Karen

The entire crew was amazing! They were thoughtful, attentive, and caring the entire trip. Several people aboard were sick to their stomach due to rough, choppy water, but the crew was so sweet to those having problems. They were quick to serve, offer, and pick up food items, drinks, etc. I'd definitely take a tour with this company again. They get 5 stars for customer satisfaction and service.
