All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

A pleasant and joyful experience. The Hawaiian entertainment was great. Excellent tour for families.

Everyone in our party had a great time. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour.

Everything was well organized. Starting with the port side check-in to board the air conditioned travel bus. Bus driver was friendly and information. Check in at the venue was easy and flowing onto the well maintained gardens. Food was delicious and plenty. I really like that the performances provided history and context for the dances; highlighting the multi-cultures that have shaped the Hawaiian people. Hope to return with more family members. Thank you

Most of the tour was a long bus ride. The scenery was quite lovely, but we didn’t stop very much. The lighthouse was so far away that it was not easy to get a truly good photo. The movie site portion was showing us videos on the bus but hardly seeing the actual sights. Saw Princeville from the bus. Chocolate factory was, in my opinion, a waste of time. Hanalei was a cute town, but once lunch was done, it was just another shopping center.
Sorry.

My husband and I enjoyed the boat ride and the history. The entertainment was fun too. Unfortunately, I don't remember being told to use bug spray. I had over 20 bites after visiting the grotto, which messed up the remainder of my stay on the island.

What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours. The crew was fantastic. Captain gave us some great history of the island and the Hawaiian music and hula was perfect. This is good for all ages. The walk to the Fern Grotto is paved. One of our passengers had a wheelchair and was able to enjoy the full excursion. I highly recommend this for an afternoon, easy excursion. Mahalo, until we meet again.

The ride down the river was so peaceful and beautiful. The walk through the fern grotto was also very pleasant.. beautiful things to see.

We had a great time on this tour. David and Cousin Kyle were awesome guides! We liked hearing the history while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Swimming at the waterfall was amazing!

The captain, guides and entertainment was outstanding

Would do it again. Walking back saw a mommy pig with 6 babies
Relaxing and fun.

Staff and performers were great… Love the storytelling and music… A must do when visiting Kauai

Mahalo for a fun, informative, and beautiful trip to Fern Grotto. Our family especially loved learning hula from the Smith Ohana!

Such a fun adventure! I was expecting it to be much more slow, on more paved roads, but it was an actual good side-by-side trail with some mildly technical spots and a good amount of speed. We loved it!

Great trip on the river! The captain was very informative on the local culture. The crew performed a dance at the grotto and also performed several dances on the way back on the boat. A good value.

Our group of 8students had a good time, great weather and the entertainment and walking through the grotto was beautiful. A well run event.

The boat were large and covered. The bride was smooth and pretty. Interesting commentary. Good music. Fun hula dancer. The fern grotto was beautiful especially in the rain. Nice walk, not hard. All in all. An outstanding trip for a rainy days. Must be great in the sun also.

We had a great time! Our guides were amazing and although it was treacherous at times, we felt safe. Beautiful scenery!

My wife and I first time ride in the atvs. The history of the land
backstories, the amazing mountain views from multiple films that was done here on the island and in this adventure, the guide was well knowledgeable, friendly and professional

Even though it was raining it was still fun and beautiful scenery. Umbrellas were provided which was so nice.

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

Wonderful fun for all ages ! Great Hawaiian experience

The river boat tour was just ok but the Hawaiian music, hula, dancing and Fern Grotto was amazing !!

We were very impressed with how fun the river cruise and nature trail to the Fern Grotto

Must do for trips to Kauai

Enjoyable relaxing and fun journey to the beautiful grotto 🌼

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.

My husband and I took the ATV tour between rain storms last week. I think that made it extra special because of all the water we drove through. Our tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They kept the tour fun and safe for all. The history behind Kipu Ranch and the many movies and TV shows filmed there was very interesting. The waterfall was very nice even though the pool below was muddy from all of the recent rain. I would highly recommend this tour. Even in our early 70's, we easily drove even the roughest terrain in the very comfortable and save Kawasaki ATVs!

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!

Truly enjoyable time spent with the Smith family crew.

It was okay. It’s very low key and some little film related facts about the region and hula show on journey back. Lasted about 80 minutes.

Fun activity for families. The tour operator does a good job of talking about the history of the area. Also, very scenic. Very worthwhile. Great job!
