Smith's Luau

Reviewed by: Cathy

Wow, the food, the staff, the grounds, the dancing - it was all great! It was well organized and the tour around the gardens was informative. The dancers were spectacular and the food was wonderful! I would highly recommend that you don't miss out on this luau!

Smith Family Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was a great luau -- more than we had hoped for, considering we thought the luau we attended on Maui was going to be best out there (it turned out to be a tie). The Smith family certainly knows how to treat its guests. Not only did you get a wonderful tram ride around the estate (to check out the beautiful peacocks and lush landscape), you got a great meal followed by a wonderful show. We were very impressed.

Good end of the day entertainment

Reviewed by: Sue

we spent the day kayaking the Wailua River and this was the perfect cap on a perfect day. The gardens are lovely, the luau food I assume is typical for luau food, which isn't exactly to mainland tastes, but we didn't really go for the food anyway. It was delightfully entertaining, with lovely dancing. It was my first luau so I don't have much to compare it to, but had heard about this one, so we tried it. I would recommend it to anyone, it is a good value for the moneye.

The Luau at Smith's Tropical Paradise was very nice. I was impressed with the multitude of talents on display by the staff, such as Kamika Smith managing, cracking jokes, singing, and even serving coffee - he seemed to be everywhere. My wife, her mother and I really enjoyed the food, music and show. It was a very pleasant evening.

The one thing I would say had room for improvement was the mai tai punch - it was 1 or 2 % abv at most, 4 or 5 % abv would have been better.

We would be happy to return next time we are on Kauai. Overall our trip was a lot of fun and very relaxing - just what we needed.

Smith's Family Luau

Reviewed by: TheTexas Nicholas'

WHAT A TREAT!! We went to the Luau after visiting the Fern Grotto and had the perfect ending to a perfect day! We had a lei greeting then boarded the tram that took us along the winding path so we could see the beautiful gardens, lush tropical trees, lovely scenery. After walking around the grounds, we all gathered at the in-ground oven to view the digging up of the roasted Imu (pig). Then everyone went to the lovely dining area where we all enjoyed tropical drinks and the delicious feast. During dinner, Hawaiian entertainers performed traditional Hawaiian music, singing, and hulas. Children were invited onstage to learn the hulas so it was great fun to watch!! Following the feast, everyone went to the grand outdoor theater to witness the torch lighting and a spectacular Polynesian music production where each of the Islands presented dramatic traditional hulas and music. It is great family fun, not to be missed!!

Beautiful grounds and good food!

Reviewed by: Michelle

We had a fabulous time here at the Luau! The food was really good, especially in comparison the luau at the Polynesian Center on Oahu. However, the show wasn't as good as the Poly center. You can also walk the grounds before the luau and then see them dig up the pig for dinner. The grounds were gorgeous. We even got to see a runaway pig! He somehow snuck out of the pen and they hadn't been able to catch him. The Flora all around the gardens were just magnificent! Definitely a must see!

First I would recommend paying the extra $5 to go into the Gardens early. You will want to spend more time looking around than the time after the tram ride permits since it is so beautiful. The welcome was great and the tram ride was a treat and the setting for the dancing was gorgeous. I've never been to a luau before so I don't know how it compares to others, but we thouroughly enjoyed it. The dinner portion felt like a wedding reception and it was fun to have an opportunity to learn the hula.

Best Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I can not say one bad thing about Smith's Luau. Everything they did was above average. The tour of their tropical paradise was wonderful. The imu was authentic and they do a wonderful job of making it special. The food was amazing, especially the pork, mahi mahi, and the rice pudding. The entertainment during the meal was fantastic and really got the crowd involved. Last the show was probably the best part. It was an amazing experience and probably one of our favorite experiences while we were on Kauai and definitely the best value.

The people who run Smith's are GREAT! They are very thoughtful and they make the whole night worth it. The servers went out of their way to help us with my husband's disability issues. They have great food and plenty of it! You will not go away hungry. The show was teriffic.
We were very happy that we went and will go back another time in the future. If you have a large party you can reserve your table space in advance.

The whole experience at the luau was awesome. The food was great and the entertainment was awesome. Smith's has done a great job, of all the things we did and saw this is the one that stands out the most. We would do this over and over. Plus, they took a great picture of our group of 10.

I have been to Hawaii 3 times now, and gone to a different luau each time. I have to say Smith's was the best one yet. The grounds are beautiful with plenty to see and lots of photo oppotunities. The food was great with friendly, prompt staff, and the show was spectacular. Smith's Luau is a must!

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.

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。
