All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

This is by far the BEST luau on the island of Kauai! The grounds are gorgeous and immaculate! The food is fantastic and displayed beautifully. The show is wonderful. The family and staff make you feel like ohana! Great evening with multigenerations and fun had by all!

Yes the water was 'crisp' but very refreshing. Th whole trip was wonderful and the guides were very experienced with handeling all on the trip, young and older (that was us). I never scraped up an elbow or ankle with their instructions and if it is going to happen to anyone, it would be me.
WONDERFUL TIME!

We have visited most of the Hawaian islands and attended many Luau's, but this one was the best by far. The grounds were awsome, the food & drinks were incredable and the entertainment was the best. We loved the covered eating area and show. It rained several times while we were there and never got wet.
Another thing we liked was the trams that took you from the check in on a nice tour of the gardens then even took you back to the parking lot after the show when it was dark.
IT WAS THE BEST!

Our group enjoyed the music as we cruised the river. The scenery was outstanding and the staff provided good service.

My husband and I loved this sunset sail. The food was absolutely scrumptious and the views of the cliffs of Na Pali, the dark ocean and the orange and purple sky were just amazing and priceless. Thank you for adding so much to our vacation!

The best part of snuba-ing is that you don't have to hover on the surface of the water, you can actually breath underwater. We spent most of our time being silly and pretending we were mermaids. We had a blast. Thanks to Kevin and the snuba crew!

When I found out that parts of Jurassic Park were filmed on Kauai I had to visit the film locations. The tour guide was very informative and showed us movie clips to refresh our memory of what the scene looked like in the movie. The scenery of Kauai is just stunning, and you can see why people filmed at these locations.

Soaring above the forest on a zipline will make you feel like Tarzan! The forest that the zipline is located in is very lush and scenic. Going on a zipline is a guaranteed way to get your adrenaline fix. They also have a zipline that allows you to jump into the water in a unique and exciting way.

We had a great time! The staff was very nice and lots of fun! Mahalo!!!!!

This was an awesome experience even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not go to Niihau. Due to the tradewinds and some seriously rough seas we could not make the trip to Niihau. We found the crew very pleasant and accommodating. The views were incredible and we were able to take in an amazing whale watching session. As noted by the several this is more of a summer time tour because the weather and seas are more predictable. I believe we missed out on a bunch by not going to Niihau but the whale experience made up for it. The large boat size provides plenty of room so it's not real crowded. We saw other boats on similar trips and they appeared to be more crowded. We would HIGHLY recommend this trip.

My boyfriend and I, plus another couple, had a fabulous day on Kipu Ranch with Kimo as our guide. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather and a small group, both of which probably made the whole thing more fun. Kimo stressed safety, but we had plenty of opportunities to open our Rhino up a bit as well, and lots of bumpy terrain and hills to enjoy. He also shared great history about the area, and pointed out plenty of interesting plant and animal life. And the views! They are truly spectacular. Swimming in the river was a lot of fun, as was swimming in the pool at the waterfall. I recommend reapplying the bug spray as you're getting ready to swim, as the mosquitoes only seemed bad at the waterfall. To top it all off, lunch was delicious. After a morning of riding, it was a real treat to eat lunch outdoors in the sunshine with a small stream nearby. We would definitely do this again and would recommend it to almost anyone.

You won't find anything like this anywhere else in Hawaii. We had a great time!

I would highly recommend this event to all. Go early and get a chance to walk the gardens. They are beautiful and I took great pictures of my family within the gardens. Food at the Luau was excellent and the show was outstanding. I was amazed at how many of the guest were return visitors. The Smith family do own a piece of paradise.

We had a great time I highly recommend this experience.

Very enjoyable. We recommend it to everyone. The meal was one of the best we had on the island and we ate some very nice meals!! The entertainment was great as well!

This was my second trip and I loved it as much the second time as I did the first. I will highly recommend it to anyone who is coming to Kauai.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures ROCK! We had so much fun we scheduled another trip later in the week and celebrated my birthday tubing! I will schedule this everytime I go to Kauai!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this event - it wasn't only a Luau, but you learned of the culture, flora, and food. The food was OUTSTANDING! The hosts gave a thorough description of the foods, and how to eat them. The pig was very juicy, and salted to perfection. And even though the Poi was bland (as it should be), it had a distinctive and very interesting taste that perked our senses. The free mai-tais didn't hurt either! : )

The show ran a bit longer than we expected, but after a few drinks, it may have just seemed longer. The quality of dance, special effects, and entertainment was high, and the fire dude rocked the house (one of the best we've seen).

Mahalo Smith's!

Very unique experience - and a great time! I would not recommend this to people older than 75 as there are a few areas where you can potentially fall out of your tube. Its a blast though - we had a lot of fun!!

We thought the Fern Grotto was beautiful and the river cruise scenery was spectacular. Entertainment on board was so so.

Spectacular setting! I've been to many luaus before and this one has the best scenery. Well organized and excellent food! I was slightly disappointed in the show as it was lower energy than others I've attended. I didn't like the way they captured ALL the cultures (Chinese, Japanese, Phillipines) as I felt it brought the energy of the entire show down and removed itself from being "Hawaiian". Over all though - we had a great time.

We have been to many luaus on all the islands and this is one of the best. The food was plentiful and very enjoyable. The host and his father 2nd and 3rd generation we very informative and available to every one. They worked the tables and made sure everyone felt at home.

The entertainment during dinner was continuious. We even had a couple get engaged after the hula class. Very sweet.The bar service was fast and the special drinks well prepared.

The entertainment was very professional and varied dances form the different pacific islands. The special effects were just great.

Would we go back. In a heart beat.

We attended two different evening Laua's on the island, but the SMITH'S was the best!!!

We really enjoyed ourselves from start to finish!

A Great Cap to our trip!

THANKS!!!

Great helicopter tour for 1st timers to Kauai... we did this on the 1st day and got a great overview of the island. The pilot was very knowledgable and the rest of the staff friendly and helpful. They definitely had the routine at the store down and getting people to the helicopter on time. Better than expected :D

We could not pass up the opportunity to tell you Thank You for this Great experience! The group of people who put on this Luau need a giant pat on the back or better yet a big hug. They really put on a great show and it is clear they have fun doing it. Please tell them Thank you. By the way... we really adored the little pregnant hula girl. Aloha.

This was my first time on an ATV and I had a pretty good time. Usually I am not one for getting dirty and riding on an ATV but I didn't mind.

The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us how to maneuver the ATV's well. There were parts of the tour that were difficult and wouldn't recommend it for kids.

We had a great time tubing through the sugar plantation and the staff were really fun. I think this is a bit expensive for what you get, but it was definitely something I would recommend.

These guys were fun and made us feel like we were in the company of friends! Great time with and amazing group of guides and staff.....thanks guys you were THE BEST adventure company we expierenced on the island!!!

If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely have to check out the Na Pali Coast, so I joined a tour this time. The view from the sea was truly amazing. There were interesting points like large openings that continued like tunnels, and holes in the ceiling of the tunnels where waterfalls were cascading down. I'm glad I got to see them up close. I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the lunch was delicious. It was a very satisfying tour!

カウアイ島を訪れるなら絶対ナパリコーストには行ってみたかったので、今回ツアーに参加しました。
海からの眺めは本当に最高でした。大きくあいた穴がトンネルのように続いていたり、トンネルの天井部分に穴が開いていてそこに滝が流れ落ちていたりなどと、面白いポイントがたくさんあり、間近で見れて良かったです。
シュノーケリングも楽しめランチも美味しかったです。大満足のツアーです！
