This was a great/relaxing experience. Nice cruise up and down the river, good historical information, and easy walk to the grotto. Well worth the time. If you have any problems walking then do not try this. The walk is short but why pay just for a boat ride? This was worth MY time and I would do it again.

On the last day of my stay in Kauai, I participated in this experience. From the welcome music upon boarding to the entertaining talks, the journey to the fern cave, the beauty of the cave, the songs and hula dances in front of the cave, and the music, singing, and hula dancing on the return boat, it was all very rich. The final solo by the female captain just before docking, with the waves, wind, flowers, and swaying leaves... the hula dance that conveyed the beauty of nature was truly breathtaking.
カウアイ滞在最終日に参加しました。はじめから終わりまで、入船する際のウェルカムミュージック、楽しませてくれるトークから、シダの洞窟への道のり、洞窟の美しさ、洞窟前の歌とフラダンス、帰りの船の中での音楽、歌、フラダンスと盛り沢山で、とくに女性キャプテンによる寄港直前の最後のソロの波、風、花、葉の揺れ...自然の美しさを感じさせるフラダンスは圧巻でした。

This river boat tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our guides were talented, insightful, and had a great sense of humor. The fern grotto was a lovely stroll. The live entertainment set the mood for the rest of our trip. If you are weary about going on this river boat, don’t be, it is a sweet smooth ride. We highly recommend doing this tour while visiting Kauai.

The greeter was all set with their sign and anniversary message as we began our walk out the airport after picking up our bags! My spouse was so surprised when they saw their name on the sign and we received our leis. The greeter offered to take our picture together under the welcome to Kauai sign. I had planned our travel clothes with this in mind so this photo is priceless--
We look happy and relaxed with our Aloha spirit. I just wish I had remembered to set aside some small change to tip my greeter.

Our family of 9 (all adults) had a fabulous time at this luau. The employees were great. The food was pretty descent (I’ve had some not great food at luaus in the past), but the show was spectacular! The performers were amazing and the flow and diversity of the dances and such were so entertaining. We were completely entertained the whole night.

Large boat brings you about 30 mins down river with a tour guide speaking overhead. Our tour guide was very funny and was probably my favorite part of this activity. You’ll disembark at an area with walkways/bathroom through a lush rainforest that eventually ends at an area with a large cliff/cave. APPLY BUG SPRAY! There are lots of mosquitoes in this area.
Here you’ll get a short history of the location as well as some music/hula dancing.
You’ll head back to boat and return with more traditional ukulele music/hula dancing.
Wasn’t a fan of the music myself, but enjoyed the trip overall.
If you aren’t able to do a strenuous hike, wheelchair bound, or have small children this activity is short enough to get a taste of the scenery without the hassle of a rough walking trail.

Im not sure what we were expecting, but this surely exceeded our expectations! The timing of everything was great, lots to see and do. The food was delicious and the drinks were good. We opted for the train and I would highly recommend- especially if you are with kids. It was a nice easy evening ride through the ranch, farm, and orchards.
The show at the end of the night was also a favorite! Lots of quick paced action and dancing. Got to hang in till the end for the fire dancing!
A lovely way to spend the evening. And a real treat at the end of a trip.

Nice relaxing ride down the Wailua River with a short, easy walk to the Grotto. Learning about the history of the boats and the area was very special, as well as having the Hawaiian music and dancing on the boat. The pilot was witty and made a couple of cute jokes. Definitely recommend for families or as an alternative for more strenous activities, or just as a nice cool break from the hot days.

We participated as a family of four (two adults and two elementary school children). We took a boat to the Fern Cave. During the round trip on the boat, there were explanations, songs, and dances about the Fern Cave, which were enjoyable. However, everything was in English, so there were parts we didn't understand. Visiting the Fern Cave on January 1st made us feel a sense of sacredness.
家族4人(夫婦と小学生2人)で参加しました。
シダの洞窟までは船で行きます。往復の船の中では、シダの洞窟の説明や歌、ダンスなどがあり楽しめます。ただし、すべて英語なので、わからないところもありました。
1月1日にシダの洞窟に行けて、神聖な気持ちになりました。

We absolutely loved the Smith Family Luau and the show! Upon arrival we were greeted with warm smiles and small shell leis, took a Family photo and hopped on a shuttle for a tour of the grounds. After the shuttle ride was over we were able to walk about the property, feed the birds, and enjoy the gorgeous grounds. The emu Ceremony was wonderful. We especially liked the stories and history told by the host of the Laua and the Polynesian & Fire Dance after the dinner. The dances being performed over the water made it new and exciting for our family. We will definitely be back if we ever get the chance to visit Kauai again. Mahalo.

During the round-trip cruise, we enjoyed the captain's guidance, Hawaiian music, and dance. Upon arrival, the sacred scenery brought peace to my heart. The announcements were all in English, but I could understand them well enough to enjoy the experience. After arriving on Kauai, I booked the tour online for a day that looked like good weather. It's a tour with great cost performance. I highly recommend it.

Check-in information:
Please note that the map guidance is not accurate. You can check in by providing your name at the ticket booth near the Wailua River boat launch. By the way, I was able to ride the bicycle I borrowed from the hotel and park it there.
About the tour:
On the boat, there was a sightseeing guide (historical explanation), and we all stood up and danced to Hawaiian music, creating a cheerful atmosphere. It's enjoyable even if you participate alone. I don't know what it was like when we could enter the fern cave, so compared to that, the fern volume seems a bit lacking, but it was still a good tour.
チェックインについて
地図の案内とずれているので注意です。ワイルアリバーボート乗り場のチケット売り場のところで名前を伝えれば受付できます。ちなみに、ホテルで借りた自転車でいき、停めることができました。
ツアーについて
ボートでは観光案内(歴史説明)もあったり、ハワイアンミュージックでみんなで立ち上がって踊ったり、陽気な雰囲気で過ごせました。1人参加でも楽しめます。シダの洞窟の中に入れた当時を知らないので、それに比較するとシダボリュームが貧弱のようですが、それでも良いツアーでした。
