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

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!

Excellent luau experience, esp with kids!

Reviewed by: Dana

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. The entertainment was amazing and we learned a lot about the fern grotto. The short hike was easy and we saw lots of ginger blossoms. This was a great family activity!

Try to find good seats

Reviewed by: Csaba

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…

Reviewed by: Fran

The "entertainment" on the way up the river was great. The fern grotto is absolutely beautiful; although a little disappointing that you can't go inside the cave these days, its still a worthwhile trip. Commentary on the way back was very informative and gave everyone some insight into Hawaiian culture.
Acoustics could have been better as it was hard to hear some of what was being said.

The weather was beautiful and our guide on the.boat was fun. The ladies who sang and did the hula were a nice touch. I learned things about the hula that I did not know.

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

Luau (not on a beach)

Reviewed by: Colorado

Entertainment was great! Everyone was very nice. Pictures were awesome. It was not all you could eat and drink. The food was cafeteria style and put away before we could get seconds. Desert was basic. Not at all what we expected at a luau.

Where is the pig on a spit?? Fresh fruits and vegetables from the island?

Definitely should’ve done more research before attending a Luau. If you want a Beach Luau, this is not the one for you. If you wanna plantation in Luau, where the people are friendly, and the food is average, this is your place!

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

Way too crowded

Reviewed by: TravelerT

I was expecting to "be at one with nature" but there were so many people. We took a short walk up the path, which was beautiful but no time to stop & appreciate it or take photos. Then, when reaching to grotto, it was so crowded, there are other people in all the photos. You don't actually go into the fern grotto, you see it from a short distance. We were told we could take photos on the way down, but the path is narrow and there's the huge line of people behind you so you can't stop. The river ride was nice, but the entertainment took away from the peacefulness of the ride.

Fern Grotto boat tour

Beautiful river excursion; would have loved more time and not so rushed at the Grotto. One song seemed lame. Wanted time to take pictures of foliage on way down. Definitely would not recommend for wheelchair guests. It was steep and pavement unfriendly to wheelchair wheels and very steep and slippery incline uphill.
Entertainment on way back was very fun and good.

If you come to Kauai, it's a must-go! カウアイ島に来たならMust go!

Reviewed by: mitchy

There is a meeting point at a port not far from the airport in Lihe. There is no check-in; you just show your voucher and board the boat. Once we set sail, we traveled upstream while listening to various explanations about the surroundings. Along the way, we waved to people in kayaks and arrived at the dock in about ten minutes. Just a few minutes on foot from there, the cave we were aiming for suddenly appeared. While we couldn't enter the cave itself, its grand and mysterious presence brought an indescribable sense of calm and satisfaction. In front of the cave, a hula performance was showcased, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere.

On the return boat ride, there was a performance of Hawaiian music, and we even had a mini hula class with all the tour participants! Everyone was in high spirits, and the sense of unity was wonderful! During this tour, there was a significant participation from Japanese tourists, so they also performed a hula version of "Ue o Muite Arukou." It seemed like they were part of another tour group, but if they hadn't been there, I would have been the only Japanese person, and I might not have had the chance to hear that song. It was quite a lucky experience.

リフェの空港から遠くないところに集合場所の港？があります。
特にチェックイン等もなく、バウチャーを見せてそのまま船へ。
出航したら周辺のいろいろな説明を聞きながら川を遡行。
途中、カヤックに乗った人達と手を振りあいながら十数分での船着き場に到着。そこから徒歩で数分のところに目的の洞窟がバーンと登場。
洞窟の中にこそ入れませんが、壮大かつ神秘的とも言える佇まいに何とも言えない落ち着きと満足感が漂います。洞窟前では、フラも披露され、ハワイ感を存分に堪能できます。
帰りの船内でもハワイアンミュージックの披露や、ツアー参加者全員でのプチフラ教室?!も。皆んなノリノリで一体感もまた良かったです！
今回のツアーでは日本人のまとまった参加があったため、「上を向いて歩こう」のフラバージョンの披露も。別のツアーの団体さんか何かのようでしたが、もしそれらの方がおられなければ日本人は私一人だったので、この曲を聴くこともできなかったかと。なかなかラッキーな体験でした。
