Great trip on the river! The captain was very informative on the local culture. The crew performed a dance at the grotto and also performed several dances on the way back on the boat. A good value.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Great food and show
Activity Date: 2026/03/19 | Posted on: 2026/03/22

Really enjoyed the food and entertainment both while eating and fabulous Polynesian show afterwards. Even liked the poi. I ate it with the lomi lomi salmon and it was really great that way. The Polynesian show was one of the best saw here on the Islands. Had a great story line that really made the show. Great music all the way through.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Lovely evening
Activity Date: 2026/03/04 | Posted on: 2026/03/06

We enjoyed a tram tour through the gardens prior to the Imu ceremony, explaining the cooking process of the Kalua pig. Everyone on the property was welcoming and made out experience great. Food was typical luau fare, and seconds were offered after everyone had been through the line once. Bar was open for drinks, and we were allowed to take them over to the show at the pavilion for the show. The show provides some history, different cultures that melded in to current Hawai’i. It was very interesting. Overall a lovely evening.

The Fern Grotto tour was a great precursor to the Smith Family Luau. The trek was interesting, and we learned some historical facts, and saw some beautiful scenery. The hula dancing was fun (to watch). It was well worth the time

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Fine way to kill 2 hours but nothing special
Activity Date: 2026/02/16 | Posted on: 2026/02/18

It is what it claims. You sit and ride up the river to a short hike to a natural feature where water drips over cavernous undercut. On tour they explained a few things but the acoustics where I sat weren't great to understand everything. Between that they sang some Hawaiian songs. All fine. Just wouldn't expect too much.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
A very fun river cruise
Activity Date: 2026/02/11 | Posted on: 2026/02/15

While in Kauai with family we decided to try the Smith Family Fern Grotto River Cruise, which was an awesome choice of entertainment. We love history and learning about places we visit, so we were pleasantly surprised when the beginning of the cruise was a full narration of the interesting history and geography of the Waimea River. The crew led us to the breathtaking Fern Grotto and enhanced the experience with beautiful music. On the way back to the dock we were entertained with music and dancing, which was very fun. The trip ended much too soon! The cost was very reasonable. We would highly recommend this trip!

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary by revisiting the Shida Cave, which we visited 50 years ago. Although my memories had faded, the scenery from that time came back to me once again.

Kauai VIP Private Car Transportation Service - SUV & Sprinter Van Charter
Excellent Tour!
Activity Date: 2026/01/30 | Posted on: 2026/02/01

We used this service for 2 half-day tours on Kauai. It was a super great experience!

Scott, our guide and driver, was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and its history, as well as being an excellent wheel-man. He was very helpful especially in getting our canes and walkers out of the vehicle and re-loading them multiple times during the rides. He also went out of his way to take us to some excellent places we didn't know about, and the views were outstanding!

Many, MANY thanks to KLT and especially to Scott! Mahalo!

Well organized even if our party did not show up at same time. We were a party of 12. Dinner was efficient. No coconut cake tho. My son and his new bride got married that day and so the luau served as their reception. We were thrilled this couple was made note of. We were happy with our choice of luau. Maholo.
