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.

The boat tour was more than we expected. The dancer was talented. The entertainment and wedding song were lovely. The garden around the Grotto was lush. And it came with a nice price tag as well. I would recommend this to anyone.

I booked this tour for my parents and brother to take while we were on Kauai. They had a fabulous day and raved about the Pearl Harbor tour. It was worth the flight to Oahu and taking an entire day of vacation. They loved the bus driver/tour guide. If Pearl Harbor interests you, this is a good way to see it.

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 Lei greeting was great. My mum kept asking me in the UK about being greeted this way so she was so surprised when she was approached and presented with a beautiful Lei in Kauai!

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!

The boat ride was so-so, the comentary was great but with a covered ride it was difficult to see the attractions. Upon arrival we were amazed at the folage and the Fern Grotto, very impressive, would I do it again ? no, been there done that but would reccomend to first timers to the Island.

I am sure the service was nice, but unfortunately, due to a scheduling error on someone elses part in my party, we did not arrive until the 8th. So we missed it. But we saw others recieving their lei's and it looked nice!

I ordered the lei greeting at the airport for my friend and myself, both first time visitors to Hawai'i. It was a very fun way to begin our visit...
I didn't realize that most of the upscale hotels offer leis free of charge to many / all guests... I could have saved the $$ and just received those leis, but honestly for a first timer, it was really cool to be greeted at the airport!

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.

The food was very good. I have seen shows at other luaus that I enjoyed more. This show seems to be family members and I prefer the shows that seek the best talent.

Kauai to Oahu & Pearl Harbor
I liked the Arizona tour, but I thought that the park dept could do more to explain the details of the Memorial to us younger folks who do not know about the detailed History of what happened and why it happened, other than the movie. Kids today do not like reading. IE: when we went to Kileau, we had a Park ranger, Jason Zimmer, explain to us in detail what was there, very informative. Also we would have liked to see Diamond Head, they say if time allows, but we wasted to much time driving around Waikiki.
