We really enjoyed the Lei Greeting upon our arrival in Lihue. It really helps to settle you in after that long flight. As first timers, our contact took pictures for us and pointed out where to get to the car rental shuttles. it's always nice to find a friendly face in the crowd when traveling.

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

Good but not Great

Reviewed by: Richard A. Vals

First it's a beautiful place. They start you off by giving you a tram ride which is a speed contest among the drivers. They tell you about the plants in super speed mode. Your head is going so quickly from left to right by the time the ride is over you can't remember a plant or tree.
They say there is plenty of food but don't sit in the middle because by the time you get in line your picking the bottom of the bowls unless you want Poi which there is a plentiful supply. The show was good but you had better bring a pair of binoculars because for the majority of it you see it across a lake. Occasionally the performers were in front of you but not often enough. Felt weird is the word for it. Were used to having the performers a lot closer then what they give you.
For paying top dollar for the Best on Kauai I preferred the one with the railroad.

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

Fern Grotto - June 2012

Reviewed by: ANDRA

Loved the staff, they were great, fun, and informative. However, was not what I expected. I am not sure what would have made it a better experience. The Fern Grotto itself was beautiful, but there were too many people on the deck to enjoy it. Made it crowded and uncomfortable.

While it was so fun to be greeted by someone in Hawaiian dress with leis. It was way too expensive! The exact same leis were on sale 20 feet from the lady who greeted us for about 1/4 the price.

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＞

When it comes to Kauai, this is definitely the place. カウアイ島といえば、やっぱりここかな

Reviewed by: ちゃちゃちゃこ

Before the luau show, we took a tram tour around the park, which featured various themed gardens and was quite spacious.

As for the food, I would say it was just average.

The main show included not only Hawaiian performances but also dances representing Polynesia, China, and Japan, which added a unique twist. However, for those who are repeat visitors to Hawaii and have seen other luau shows around Waikiki, it might feel a bit lacking. I was expecting Hawaiian and Tahitian hula, so I found it somewhat unsatisfying.

That said, the fire dance was definitely exciting, and if you're visiting Kauai, I think it's worth seeing this luau at least once. It's one of the few nighttime entertainment options in Kauai.

After the show, there are opportunities to take photos with the dancers, but I didn't have a chance to do that here. I ended up buying the photo they took when we entered for $20.

ルアウショーの前に、トラムに乗って園内を見学するのですが、
色んなテーマ別の庭園になっていて、広いお庭でした。

食事については、普通かな…という感想です。

肝心のショーは、ハワイアン以外にポリネシアや中国・日本を表した踊りもあり、
ちょっと変わった面白さもありましたが、ハワイのリピーターで、
ワイキキあたりで他のルアウショーみたことある方だと、物足りないかもしれません。
私は、ハワイアン・タヒチアンフラを期待していたので、ちょっと物足りなかったです。

でもファイヤーダンスはやっぱり盛り上がりますし、カウアイ島に来たのなら
1度はここのルアウ観ておくとよいかなと思います。
数少ない、カウアイの夜の娯楽ですしね。

終わった後、ダンサーの方と写真を撮ってもらえるショーもありますが、
ここは撮る機会はなかったです。
入園の時、撮ってくれた写真（＄２０）買ってしまいました。

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＞

Cave of the Ferns シダの洞窟

Reviewed by: イキ

I participated in an activity on the afternoon of the day I flew from Japan to Hawaii, and then to Kauai. Since I was dealing with jet lag, a calm activity like this was just right for our first day in Hawaii with the kids.

It might have been nice to combine this with the "Hawaiian Traditional Feast Luau and Sacred Ceremony Imu! Smith Tropical Paradise Luau," which is located on the same grounds. Our family watched the luau on the last day in Kauai, but among those on the same boat, quite a few were planning to have dinner and see the luau show after this boat ride.

The Fern Grotto was beautiful, but everyone in the family got bitten by mosquitoes. I recommend applying insect repellent before participating.

日本からハワイへ、さらにカウアイ島へ飛んできたその日の午後に参加しました。時差ぼけの状態なので子どもも連れてのハワイ初日はこのぐらいの穏やかなアクティビティがちょうどよかったです。

同じ敷地内にある、「ハワイ伝統饗宴ルアウと神聖な儀式イム！スミス・トロピカル・パラダイス・ルアウ」と組み合わせてもよかったかもしれません。私たち家族はカウアイ島最終日にルアウを分けて見ましたが、同じ船に乗っている人の中では、この船の後に夕食とルアウのショーを見る予定である人が結構いました。

シダの洞窟はきれいでしたが、家族みんな蚊に刺されました。虫除けを塗っての参加をお奨めします。

We got here and this uber friendly lady greeted us with a HUGE smile and Lei'd us and then took our picture for us, gave us info on how to find our rental car. It was really nice.

When we got to our room we had a great snack basket. I'm sure I'm supposed to take some home for the kids but it is all so yummy we might just eat all the local snacks, mainly the pineapple coconut balls!!

Thank you so much for an amazing Kaua'i Welcome :)

I was so thrilled with this service. We had missed our connection to Kaui due to Air Canada running late. I had arranged this as a surprise for my travelling companions. I was shocked to see our Greeter Dale still at the airport 2.5 hours later when our flight got in. She was more than helpful, friendly and can be commended for staying till we arrived on the last flight of the day. A big big thank you to her she made a very long day end in such a pleasant way.

Thank you to all.

Was expecting a woman for some reason. Not some old leathery looking old man that smelled like ciggerettes, put it around your neck and leave..... The Lei it self was very pretty. but the greeting was nothing like you would expect. I think the whole greeting needs to change. that was really bad. sorry just telling it like it is.

I would highly recommend this to everyone of all ages! The staff was very nice, pleasent,and funny. The dinner was excellent! and the entertainment was just awesome! It was put together very nicely, I especially liked the way they did the one table at a time. avoided a rush to the tables, there was plenty of food to go around so no one had to miss out on everything. I even tried poi for the first time! The pork, OMG it is one of the best tasting pig I have ever had in my life! melted in your mouth! Everything was great. I can guarantee if I'm lucky enough to go back to Kauai I will do that again! I don't have any pictures developed yet or I would show them. :)

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Went to Kauai as part of our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter tour. The most beautiful and amazing parts of Kauai can only be seen from the sky and this helicopter meant we could see it all! Pilot was very friendly and it was a plush helicopter, making it a comfortable journey. The pilot narrated the journey and made sure we saw everything very clearly. When the sun wasn't in the best position, he turned the helicopter around to make sure we got good photographs - nothing was missed! Would fly with Blue Hawaiian again :)

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

Beautiful!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We enjoyed this luau a lot. We've been to several luaus on Oahu, but the ground where this luau sits is just so pretty. They have a tram that goes around the property, and we even fed peacocks that roam around freely. We even saw a local wedding that was taking place.

The foods were really good, and we definitely enjoyed their open bar. We had 3, 4 of their mai tai drinks, and they made it just perfect. Foods were great so were the entertainment during the show.

Although we enjoyed the show, I thought they could improve it a little more. It was cool to see dances from non-Polynesian countries such as Japan, China and Philippines, but they could add more story line to the whole show instead of presenting it like a mix-plate. The fire knife dance was pretty good, and everyone was in awe.

All in all, I highly recommend this luau if you go to Kauai. You will have a good time for sure.
