Enjoyed the music and dancing as well as the informative narration. The natural beauty of the river and grotto is spectacular. Walking through the Rain Forest area gave you a sense of peace.

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. ... moreWe were thrilled this couple was made note of. We were happy with our choice of luau. Maholo.

Beautiful trip in a beautiful setting with great entertainment that included comedy, music and traditional dancing.
The walk to the grotto was so incredibly gorgeous. Do not miss this wonderful experience

The boat ride along the river offered beautiful views of lush tropical landscapes, and the live Hawaiian music and hula added an authentic, festive touch.

The Fern Grotto trip was a lovely experience from beginning to end. First: the price is right! There are so many expensive things to do on Kauai, but we thought the $35 per person fee was worth it. The boat is wide and ... morevery stable (no waves!!) and is covered overtop (no rain and no sunburn). However the sides are completely open and we enjoyed the air and very slight breeze. The captain gave nice narration on the way to the grotto with interesting facts about the area. On the trip back, there was a hula show with singing. It was more like a family show than a Hollywood production which was fine with us. I was amazed at the care and assistance provided to a lady in a wheelchair, several who had walkers, and some with canes. Once arriving at the Grotto, the boat crew guides you on a cement path to the viewing area. Then they sing the Hawaiian Wedding Song which was nice. My younger brother was married at the Fern Grotto about 40 years ago, so that was meaningful to me. There were restrooms at the Grotto area. No food or drink is served. Tour lasted a total of 2 hours. Plenty of parking.

This was the perfect fit for us and our 3 year old. The boat is kid friendly and the fern grotto is easily accessible with a short walk on a paved path. Great opportunity to see something up river for those with small ch... moreildren or any mobility limitations.
