It was a nice experience, getting the flavor of Hawaii songs and dance and also that was a short walk to a cave filled with germs that was really awesome.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
It was a sweet, short and nice experience
Reviewed by: Gayatri
The crew were super friendly and kind. The live music and the commentary of the guide was very entertaining and informative through-out. The river ride was pleasant and breezy. Definitely a nice experience if you want to do with family. We went to the Fern Grotto at the end of the cruise and the short walk to the grotto through the tropical forest was so cool. Overall a neat thing to do in Kauai.

A memorable trip!
Reviewed by: Stefanie
We had a wonderful time on this mini cruise to Fern Grotto. We loved hearing about it's history, listening to the music and being entertained by a talented group of people. Every seat was a good one for views and the short walk to the grotto was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this relaxing trip!

シダの洞窟 観光遊覧船 ハワイ唯一の航行可能な川を行く！＜英語ガイド／半日＞
エルビスプレスリーを偲んで。
Reviewed by: みやちゃん
ハワイ9回目にして初めてのカウアイ島。
エルビスプレスリーの映画「ブルーハワイ」のロケ地。
青春の思い出が蘇ってきます。一度訪れてみたいと思っていたので、感無量です。
夫と二人で来ました。70才と69才の夫婦。ここを訪れたカップルは幸せになれるとか、言われています。船に乗って、往復で1時間20分のツアーでした。シダの洞窟では、上陸してフラダンスや音楽を鑑賞しました。
日本人は、私たち夫婦と同じ年代のご夫婦と娘さんのご家族の二組だけでした。
英語だけですが、言葉の不自由はないです。
ロマンチックで、かつ、神聖な感じのする場所でした。
写真が、アップしようとしたのですが、できなくて残念です。
カップルの人は、是非、訪れてください。

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Nice little trip
Reviewed by: Tolle
Its a cheap, pretty trip down the river and then you get to see a really pretty spot with a little cave and waterfall in a jungle like setting. Id say go. It only takes a couple hours. Guides were sometimes funny, sometimes looked like they were in hell lol, but it didn't matter, it was fun. You should go.

This trip was fine, and thankfully inexpensive. The entertainers seemed to not want to be there. They went through the motions, but weren’t excited. The fern grotto was cool to see, and it was neat to go through a jungle.

Luau Kalamaku at Kilohana Plantation - Polynesian Dinner Show & Fire Knife Dance
Authentic and felt very Hawaiian
Reviewed by: ppille
The food was excellent. Even though the venue was large and held many people, it was very efficiently organised.
Open bar had a great selection of drinks
The show had a pre- show. the band played while we were having dinner and there were some songs sung by the cast.
The show itself had a great story line and you could tell that the performers are proud to be part of the cast.
You ARE NOT called up on stage. A good thing.
Great value for money as well.

Fern Grotto
Reviewed by: Michael Thiem
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.

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.
