Luau Kalamaku Kauai – Award-Winning Hawaiian Dinner Show with Fire Knife Dance

A lovely evening!

Reviewed by: L.

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.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Family friendly entertainment.

Reviewed by: Lisa V

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.

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>

At the cedar cave with my family. シダの洞窟に家族で

Reviewed by: ぷーた

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。

Exploring the Cedar Cave シダの洞窟めぐり

Reviewed by: 忍者白影

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。

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>

It was a tour where you could enjoy Hawaiian music on a boat. ボートでハワイアンミュージックも楽しめるツアーでした

Reviewed by: Rita

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 participated as a couple. The river cruise was fun with hula dancing and Hawaiian music. However, the fern cave lacked impact and was somewhat unappealing. I would like to participate in your tours again in the future.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

River Cruise - Fantastic

Reviewed by: Mo

This cruise was great with our 18 month old. The boats are wide and spacious and have great visibility on any seat. We enjoyed the commentary and singing while we rode -- and barely noticed the rain.

The short walk to the fern grotto was lovely and lush. Not to mention the grotto itself. We learned more about the traditions of the place and watch a Hula performance of a love song. The guides did not rush us through the walk and were very warm and friendly.

Recommend -- especially if you have young children and need something fun to do with them. My son loved the boat ride!

This is a tour where you can enjoy both a river cruise and a visit to the Fern Cave. At the Fern Cave, you'll do a bit of walking, which allows you to enjoy a forest bath, and you can fully appreciate the nature of Kailua.

Interesting

Reviewed by: Mary

I enjoyed the cruise and found it informative. The grotto was beautiful and there were a lot of interesting plants along the jungle like walk.
My husband didn't care for it because of the amount of people on board. A bus from a cruise ship let ofF their tour people which made it pretty crowded but that is to be expected. My husband just doesn't like to be in crowds.

Beautiful views, relaxing.

Reviewed by: Bette lou

The riverboat cruise was a great experience. The riverboat ride was gentle and relaxing. The views were exceptional. Our host gave us a background of the area, which was interesting, and also let us enjoy the peaceful silence as well. Seeing the kayakers on the river was enjoyable. My only advice would be to wear good shoes with traction. The walk up to the grotto can be a little slippery due to moisture and moss. The entertainment that took place at the destination of the grotto, was really entertaining. Enjoy the ride!

I specifically booked this luau because I read it was a great experience for kids. We loved the train ride, especially, which is unique to this location. You get to feed the pigs, cows, and horses at a stop along the way! My 2 and 5 year olds loved it. The food was good - lots of variety for different diets - and open bar is awesome!

The Wailua River cruise to the fern grotto was perfect. It was a little wet the day we went, but the boat was covered and we were kept dry.

Ordered tickets online, showed up early at the location and waited in the line to get in the boat. I was lucky to get good seats in the boat where the view is better than seating in the middle. If you take this trip you will see what I mean.
Some of the people ended up seating in the middle and they didn’t look happy about that…
