Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Surprised!
Activity Date: 2014/10/08 | Posted on: 2014/10/13

Short and sweet ... the tour of the grounds was lovely; the food and mai tai's were superior; but the dances needed some umph! That was a sad ending to an event that started great.

I have attended this Luau and Show several times and highly recommend it to everyone! Even though it rained during the show this time, it was still very well done and the audience was very receptive of the dancing and entertainment! The food was wonderful, as always!!!

Fern Grotto
Activity Date: 2014/09/17 | Posted on: 2014/09/20

We enjoyed the lush surroundings, however, it cannot compare to our previous trip which was many years ago. At that time we were able to actually walk into the Fern Grotto and listen to the singers in the grotto. We did enjoy the entertainment on our return trip back to the dock.

Was definitely worth the time! I would have liked to be able to approach the grotto, but our guide was magnificent & the boat team made it a very enjoyable trip. Talented dancer & singers! We will cherish this memory!

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Luau
Activity Date: 2014/08/11 | Posted on: 2014/08/26

My thought was that a Luau was supposed to take place while eating the wonderful buffet food. At this Luau we sat down at long tables and did enjoy a delicious buffet. However, then we had to move to another location where they had bleacher seating, which was extremely uncomfortable. The show itself was just ok as it did not have a lot of spectacular associated with it. There was only one guy who did an act with fire. Most of it was just basic hula dancing and not what I would have expected. VERY uncomfortable seating and MEDIOCRE dancing. I would not recommend this Luau to any of my friends are family who may wish to visit Hawaii.

I was however pleased with Veltra tours and the professionalism and the call I received for verification of activities. Thank You.

Activity Date: 2014/07/28 | Posted on: 2014/08/04

I was disappointed. I had been there about 4 years ago and the Fern Grotto was beautiful with lots of beautiful flowers to look at. It was so over grown you could hardly see the water fall. I also felt rushed, no time to admire the flowers that were there. I would not recommend this.

The Luau was excellent. The food was one of the best meals we had on the island. The show was extremely excellent. The grounds that the Luau was on are beautiful. Best of all the price was great.

Excellent!
Activity Date: 2014/07/24 | Posted on: 2014/07/27

Smith's Luau was fantastic. As we entered, we took the tram ride around the grounds, during which we heard an excellent overview of information. We then had enough time to wander back through and read placards or take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Hearing about the imo and the roasted pig was really informative. The food at the luau was DELICIOUS! Especially the kalua pig. Yum! The show was also very good. Overall, a fantastic night. Highly recommended.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
More than Worth the Money
Activity Date: 2014/07/12 | Posted on: 2014/07/19

I really enjoyed this. The staff were friendly, but not pushy. Nobody tried to sell me something else or tried to get me to upgrade to something else. The boat ride was pleasant, scenic, and informative. The grotto is pretty, but I think the benefit is the boat ride, music, and hula demonstrations. I would definitely do this again.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Awsome grounds...great food....so so show...
Activity Date: 2014/07/09 | Posted on: 2014/07/12

We have attended luaus on other islands and the show at this luau was not impressive. The grounds were amazing , beautiful picture opportunities ....and the food was delicious!!! We were not impressed with the show. The seating was stadium seating which was extremely uncomfortable. The show was not interactive with audience......I believe the "host" was pre-recorded?

Again.....we've been to other islands and have been to much better.

Our tour had no enthusiasm and excitement in his voice. The crew seemed like this was a task. The Hawaiian dancers were good, the singer was good.
Had been on the Fern Grotto tour a few years ago and was much better.

The airplane tour was the highlight of our trip. The scenery was beyond our expectations. It was just beautiful. Josh, the pilot, explained everything to us as we passed by the different areas. Josh is a very professional person and very engaging. I would recommend this trip to everyone.
