Not too strenuous a walk to the fern grotto and entertainment was very good! Worth the trip!

The wide range of dances were amazing, beautiful and authentic. The dance from the Phillippines was so cute and eye-catching. The fire shows were incredible. Their skill is super-human. This was a memorable evening.

I participated with my mother.

Both the customers and the staff were very kind, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a wonderful experience.

Route:
The route included Poipu Beach, Waimea Canyon, the Na Pali Coast, the North Shore, the forested areas in central Kauai, and a loop around the island of Kauai.

Meeting Place:
The meeting place is the terminal next to the passenger terminal at Lihue Airport, where cargo flights take off and land. There is a map link included in the notification email, so I don't think there will be any mistakes. Once everyone has gathered, there will be a safety briefing.

Expected Level of Turbulence:
The flight I boarded had relatively calm winds, so there was little turbulence like free-fall (I felt a drop of about 30 centimeters three or four times). Additionally, if you are prone to motion sickness, you can inform the staff at check-in, and they will change your seat to one in the back.

母親と2人で参加しました。

お客さんもスタッフさんもとても優しく、天気にも恵まれ、大変良い体験ができました。

航路:
ポイプビーチ、ワイメアキャニオン、ナ・パリコースト、ノースシォア、カウアイ島中心部の樹林帯とカウアイ島を一周する航路でした。

集合場所:
集合場所はリフエ空港旅客機ターミナルの隣のカーゴなどが離発着するターミナルになります。
事前の通知メールにマップのリンクもついていますので、間違えることはないかと思います。
全員揃ったことを確認して、安全に関する案内があります。

期待の揺れ具合:
搭乗した便は風が比較的穏やかな時間だったので、フリーフォールのような揺れ方は少なかったです。（大体30センチ程度落ちる感覚が3,4回ありました。）
また、酔いやすい人は受付で申告すると後ろの席にチェンジしてくれます。

Nice boat ride and short walk to a grotto covered with ferns. Pretty walk.

Hit some really gorgeous sites in Kauai- we loved the North Shore!

Our family was able to go all together, and we all got a window view- couldnt be better

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.

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.

The dancers are sooooo amazing, I wish my hips could move like that!!!

Seeing the garden island from above was unbeatable! Loads of streaming waterfalls, greenery, and the gorgeous Hawaiian waters!

Wonderful tour, really educated guide and loved the TV history!!

Our pilot Marcus was wonderful! Our family of 4 got headsets so we could hear about all the landforms and points of interest we flew to. We got to see sides of the island that boats and helicopters don’t typically get to in addition to the big wow locations like the Napili coast, Waimea Canyon, remote beaches, and waterfalls. We felt totally safe the whole flight and would recommend this tour to everyone!

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.

We loved the interactiveness this luau presented, got even us old folks involved!

We liked this as it filled our day paired with the luau! The staff here is very friendly and the local hawaiian songs were beautiful!

Very upbeat and friendly hosts and staff, the night was full of laughing :)

The river cruise was great with the Tour guides giving us the history of the island and river along with local entertainment. the Fren Grotto was also excellent as it was Our 50th Anniversary and the Grotto topped it off.

This was a pretty nice and easy way to spend an afternoon. It was quite warm but the breeze on the boat was lovely. We went with young kids and it was a nice time. Would recommend!

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。

Food was fantastic
Show was entertaining
Gardens were spectacular

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.

往復のクルージング中は船長の案内やハワイアンミュージック、ダンスで盛り上がりました。到着後は神聖な景色に心が安らぎます。案内は全て英語ですが、なんとなく分かるので楽しめましたよ。カウアイ島着いてから天気の良さそうな日にネットで申し込みました。コストパフォーマンスが良いツアーです。お奨めです。

Really enjoyed the time and the fern grotto was amazing. Thanks to the Smith Family and the team.

Great family run business. Old fashioned fun. Cultural tourism in a good way. Nice friendly people. Would recommend.

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。

We loved the plane ride, checking in was smooth, they took pictures of us with the plane which was nice, and the employee and pilot were very friendly and helpful. We booked last minute but we felt welcomed nonetheless. The plane ride had a smooth take off and landing. And of course, the view was so amazing along with the pilot telling us all about Kauai!
