Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Rush to get an edge seat!
Activity Date: 2022/04/14 | Posted on: 2022/04/16

The grotto was beautiful, the dancing and singing was great. The overhead boat speakers were really hard to hear- we couldn't make out the stories they were telling well. If you get stuck in the middle, you can't see anything. Overall, it's not something I'd do more than once.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Smith’s river cruise
Activity Date: 2022/03/15 | Posted on: 2022/03/22

Once again the Smith family didn’t disappoint us with this river cruise. Telling us a little bit about the Smith family and the 5 generations who have worked there. Told us about the plant life on the island. We were treated to a Hawaiian song at the end of our short hike. My 81 year old father had no problems walking this short walk. On the way back to the dock we were given hula lessons and told what each hand gesture meant. Then we all did the luau while the song was being sung. It was awesome!

When we arrived to the island I thought I booked the cruise on the Wednesday but it was on Tuesday. I was called because we weren’t there and told it was no problem and that they would be rescheduled for the Wednesday.

Wonderful experience! I HIGHLY recommend is cruise!

Everything about our evening was perfect. From the beautiful gardens, show, and dinner. When we visit Kauai again we will definitely be going back to see Smith’s luau. We had more enough to eat and were encouraged to go back for seconds. The open bar was great! The Smith family are so friendly and welcoming ❤️

We had a fantastic time at the luau. It was my wife and I on an anniversary trip and a Luau was a must. I am confident I picked the best one with the Smith's. Entertainment quality was awesome, food was as well. Staff was super friendly and the gardens were immaculate. You won't be disappointed.

Luau Kalamaku Kauai – Award-Winning Hawaiian Dinner Show with Fire Knife Dance
Kids love feeding the pigs
Activity Date: 2022/03/10 | Posted on: 2022/03/13
Vjg

This is our second time to this luau and although it has not changed much it was still a memorable event. There were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children. The kids loved taking the train and feeding the pigs tortilla wraps. This is a highlight for them. The meal is on time, well organized, efficient and the staff do an amazing job of keeping it all running smoothly. The food is not inspired nor unique in any way. The pork is very tasty though and I thought the chicken thighs were well prepared. The desserts need a revamp as jiggly squares and pineapple cake and tiny tarts of nondescript filling are not worth the big bucks.
The show is well preformed and really another job well done.
Everyone loves a guy throwing fire up in the air.

Great experience from checking in to touchdown landing. Pilot was friendly and informative. He made sure passengers on both sides of plane received good views. And they were spectacular views! Flight lasted about 75 minutes. Well worth the price. This tour surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Air Venture Tours.

Friendly staff.
Activity Date: 2022/02/21 | Posted on: 2022/02/23

The staff was very friendly and they try really hard to be sure you have fun even if the cruise itself can be a little bit boring.
I didn’t appreciate that they don’t say anything to people who don’t wear a mask even if it’s still mandatory. That part was really annoying.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
A lovely, peaceful boat trip along a beautiful river
Activity Date: 2022/02/11 | Posted on: 2022/02/13

The Smith's Wailua River Cruise was very good. The open windows were fantastic for taking pictures. We cruised at a relaxing speed. It was fun to watch the people in Kayaks and on paddle boards along the way. There is a roof on the boat so it's very shady & the padded bench seats are comfortable. We were entertained with interesting history about the river and area.
It was easy to get in & out of the boat. The Fern Grotto was a very lush & beautiful area. There were no mosquitoes or flying insects when we were there between 11 A. M & 12:30 P. M.
At the Grotto & on the boat, we were entertained with singing and dancing. It was a very enjoyable time for all.

This was a good trip. The boat was clean and well-kept-up, and everyone was very friendly. Fern Grotto is pretty, and the local entertainment makes the event fun. It's a relaxing, quiet trip and a good way to see some of the beauty of Kauai.

Scenic Kauai Airplane Tour to Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and Jurassic Falls
Great view of Na Pali Coast and the entire island from sky
Activity Date: 2021/09/08 | Posted on: 2022/01/07

I have hiked Kalalau Trail, stayed Ko ke e state park, took a boat tour to Na Pali coast and tried to see the coast line from all the angle. This Air tour is definitely one of the addition to it. By looking at the coast line from sky gives me more history of how the structure was created.

It was great view with a nice perfect weather with a good tour guide/pilot. He was very informative about buildings, natures, movie sites, tourist information, etc.

This air tour was more affordable than a tour with helicopters. It is a really nice addition to a budget traveler who want to see the island from sky, expanding the scope.

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore
Orlando was awesome
Activity Date: 2021/12/30 | Posted on: 2022/01/01
Lee

First, our driver/guide Orlando was simply amazing. He was quite knowledgeable and helpful. Orlando’s sense of humor kept us relaxed and laughing. Orlando picked us up right on time. We mentioned to him we would need frequent restroom stops. Not only was he accommodating but he was very picky about where he stopped being conscious of cleanliness. Speaking of cleanliness, our vehicle was spotless and very comfortable. We loved his guidance and took him to lunch. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. When you book, be sure to ask for Orlando!

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Rich in culture, beauty, and Aloha! Everyone should do this when visiting Kauai. Worth it!
Activity Date: 2021/12/03 | Posted on: 2021/12/30

The Smith’s Wailua River Cruise was a beautiful way to spend our morning. Start off by learning some island history and geography by a native guide from the Smith Family. Ours was Wade.

Once you arrive at the Fern Grotto, you’ll walk a beautiful path to get there and learn about its natural history and cultural significance as well as anything you’d like to know about it. We learned so many fascination facts and it was so beautiful and peaceful.

On our way back, we were treated with professional musicians and a top notch dancer. Everything about the small group of performers was beautiful from the sweet sounds of the musicians to the graceful display of cultural dance. You couldn’t get better quality and for the price!

It was an honor and gift to ride with the Smith Family. Looking forward to coming back with the kids.

Great family fun time.
Activity Date: 2021/12/10 | Posted on: 2021/12/13

It's a nice way to spend an hour on the water with some fun Hawaiian music. It's relaxing and a calm way to just chill. The actual fern grotto was an incredible sight to see and enjoy. That was the best part. Just a couple of minutes of walk from the dock to the main area where you see and appreciate the phenomenon.

Fun!

Tired
Activity Date: 2021/11/17 | Posted on: 2021/12/11

The building where we pay and gather is very depressing. The boat ride was uneventful, the grotto was a beauty of nature. We music was okay, we could tell the performers were tired because it was the last trip of the day, but they were nice and accommodating.
