Beast luau i've been to, reconmend getting there early to walk through the incredible gardens after the short tour. The staff is top notch, the food is incredible and the intertainment is worth every penny. I would recomend this to anyone and everyone going to Kaua'i.

The cruise is vary relaxing, vary beutiful, and the staff is vary informative and the hula dancer was wonderful. But be warned the cave at the Fern Grotto is now closed, but you can still see it and take pictures of it wich is beutuful. recomended to first timers.

We loved the tram ride, beautiful grounds with peacocks and more, the great food at the luau, friendly people, a wonderful show! The covered pavilions made it pleasant! It was nice to have our picture taken and available for purchase. We liked having the luau in one place and the show in another. Wear mosquito repellent!

This cruise is great for older people who are not able to walk very well - the staff is very friendly, the entertainment is fun and relaxing, the river is beautiful, and the walk to the Fern Grotto was very nice also. We did this before going to the luau at Smith's. It was a wonderful combination!

THIS TRIP EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS.

This was an amazing Cruise down the Wialua River to the Fern Grotto. The staff was great and told of the history of the river and the grotto. The return trip included hawaiian music and hula lessons. I would really recommend this trip to everyone.

The entire event was fantastic. Grounds were beautiful and the staff was great! We really enjoyed the food and drinks. Would highly recommend.

This luau was the best we have been to. We had a wonderful time , the food was delicious and the entertainment was fabulous. We will definatly tell our friends and family about it!

This was a great, affordable way to see the entire island. The service was more personal. We had the ride with just the two of us. It was terrific meeting Bruce and Ellen. They are a wonderful and interesting couple.

We have attended other Luaus on Kauai, but this Luau exceeded all expectations. The grounds are beautiful, the food was great and the service was outstanding. There was plenty of food and drink (all you can eat/drink) and it was all delicious! The Smith family and their associates are warm, friendly and genuine. One note of caution to those with young children - the show does not begin until after dinner is over, so this could make for a long night for some little ones. My two sons (3 years and 4 months) did well and enjoyed the show, but were definitely getting a little tired toward the end. Overall, I would highly recommend this luau.

We had a great time. It was actually 2nd time trying to learn surfing. We tried from my friend, but we decided to take a lesson from pros. The instructor guy was very helpful, and taught us how to read the wave and the current, some safety tips you should know, etc. After all, surfing can be dangerous, so we're glad that we took a lesson. Thanks.

This tour is by far the best way to see the Island. I recommend doing it the first day your on Kaui because the pilots tell you were to go and what to see. We had the owner as the pilot and he gave us terrific ideas and views of the Island. Will do this tour again.

The Smith Luau was an overall extraordinary experience and great value. The evening begins with a tram or walking tour of Smith's Tropical Paradise. The grounds include a wide variety of birds and fish, and labelled foliage. The luau was in a covered open-air pavillion, and preceded by giving thanks for the food and asking God's blessings. The luau was served buffet style, including fish, pork, chicken and beef dishes, and a wide variety of vegetables and desserts. While eating, we were serenaded by a live band, playing traditional Hawaiian music. Following the luau, we moved to a covered open-air amphitheater for a live show, including segments depicting the many cultures of the Hawaiian islands. The staff was genuinely courteous and kind. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and is highly recommended.

We had a great time. The food was good, the gardens were amazing and the show was awesome. We would do it again no questions about it. The staff was great as well. Thanks for making are trip more amazing.

Our family loves the Smith's Family Luau--the gardens are beautiful, the food is excellent & the Smith Family is so nice. This was our 2nd time at this luau & we enjoyed it as much as the 1st. I highly recommend doing the fern grotto cruise & then the luau right after. This was a wonderful family experience!!

We flew with Bruce a few years ago and had a wonderful flight. I was somewhat apprehensive since I have issuses with panic attacks, he was so kind and reassuring that it made the flight very comfortable. Kaui is such a beautiful island you get a different perspective from the air. We enjoyed Bruce's vast knowledge of Kauai from the air. He even let my husband do a little bit of the flying since he had his private piolts license. We highly recommend

We loved this tour. The ride up the river was informative and absolutely beautiful. Walking the Grotto was amazing. So many types of plants. You will be amazed. Be sure to walk through slowly. Look at every flower and in between leaves so you don't miss the giant bumble bees or the beautiful birds. Some people walked too quickly and missed these wonders of nature.

The ride back was pleasant with the staff playing music and dancing. They were great guides and great people. One of the guides walked slowly with us and told us all about the different plants and what the natives used these plants for. Super informative. I felt sorry for those who didn't take the time to listen to his wealth of knowledge.

We incredibly enjoyed this Luau! I would recommend it to everyone. The train ride and walk through the garden set the scene for a beautiful evening.

The luau food was excellent, best we experienced in the Islands. The program fell short of our expectations. We have seen better in other venues.

The trip was listed as a short, rugged walk, but is handicap accessible. I would have liked this information ahead of time, as walking on concrete is very painful for me, and I would have taken my scooter if I had known there was a paved walk way. I would like to go again sometime, when the ferns have recovered from the damage of the 2006 Hurricane. Cruise was informative, entertaining and fun!

We had a great time surfing in Kauai. The water was a bit colder than expected, but the thrill of surfing the wave makes you forget about the temperature. Mahalo!

Smith's River Cruise was well done. Unfortunately the Fern Grotto sust
ained damage which no longer allows people to go inside.

Very well done! I was suprised by the gardens and the amount of people who attended. Good selection of food too!

Great entertainment! Food was fabulous, show was very impressive. Would definitely go again. Love the DVD so I don't have trouble remembering the show. Beautifully kept grounds and lots of birds!!

We enjoyed our experience at the luau. The food was very good and they were very experienced at moving a big crowd through efficiently. It was great having the Hawaiian music during dinner. The show was pretty good. We did enjoy it, but it doesn't quite compare to the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, which is the best. This one was good, and it tried to have different islands represented, but the numbers were all very similar to each other. Loved the fire and volcano and the dragon. It was an enjoyable evening for our family.

Our family enjoyed this short boat ride to the Fern Grotto. The Grotto itself has changed since our last trip to Kaua'i. Sit on the left side of the boat while it is at the dock (which will then be the right side going up the river). That way you can see most of the sights the guide points out on the way to the Fern Grotto. It was informative, especially for first timers. Next trip, we will probably kayak up to the Grotto.

We enjoyed the food and the entertainment. The grounds and the birds were wonderful. Worth the money for this experience.

Wow, the food, the staff, the grounds, the dancing - it was all great! It was well organized and the tour around the gardens was informative. The dancers were spectacular and the food was wonderful! I would highly recommend that you don't miss out on this luau!

It was a relaxing and enjoyable trip down the river to the Fern Grotto. The staff was fun and we enjoyed learning to Hula. It was a good value!

Who can go to Hawaii without learning to surf?
It was hard work but a lot of fun, practise makes perfect. Our instructors were knowledgeable and fun!
