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!

伝統ルアウ＆フラ ハワイアンショー ハワイ伝統の神聖儀式イム鑑賞付き＜ワイルア・マリーナ・ステート・パーク内／夕食付き＞
暖かいスミスファミリーさんのルアウショー。
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。今まで体験したルアウ・ショーの中で、一番楽しめた体験でした。
まず、チェックインしたあと孔雀などのいる美しいスミスさんの庭園をトラムで案内していただきます。そのあと、イムの儀式を見て、お食事になります。
食事の間には、バンド演奏をしていただきます。声をかけてくださった背の高い男性が、片言の日本語で話しかけてくださいました。ツアーの人が多く、個人参加の私たち夫婦を彼が、席に案内してくださいました。日本に帰ってから知ったのですが、彼が、カミカ・スミスさんでした。主催者さんだったのです。彼は、ステージに上がり、歌われたのですが、うっとりするほど、お上手でした。スミス婦人も歓迎してくださいました。食事が終わったあと、ステージまで、歩いていきました。ちょうどいい食事の後の散歩タイムでした。日本庭園のようなものもありました。美しいお庭です。
ショーは、ハワイアンやタヒチダンスだけでなく、他の国、ニュージーランドや韓国、中国、日本、フィリピンなど多国の踊りもあると事前にガイドブックで知っていましたが、行って初めて知ったことがあります。それは、当日のお客さんに中国や韓国の人はおられず、アジア人は私たち夫婦二人だけでした。外国の踊りとして披露いただいたアジアの踊りは、日本の東京音頭だったのです。スミスファミリーさんは、出席者がどこから来てるのかを見て、選曲されてるとしか思えなかったのです。中国、韓国の踊りでなく東京音頭だったのです。感激しました。
食事も美味しかったし、何といってもカミカ・スミスさんご本人とお話しできたこと、温かいスミスファミリーのおもてなしに幸せな時間を過ごさせていただきました。
夫はアロハシャツ、私は、カジュアルだけどロングドレスで、お洒落していきました。
ほとんどの人が、お洒落して来られてて、場違いにならずによかったと思いました。

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。

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.

Secret Kauai Waimea Canyon & Coastlines Private Island Tour with Optional Hike
Sean is the best tour guide we've ever had!!!
Reviewed by: Mann Ohana
My family (wife and 2 daughters, ages 9 & 11) ands I had an absolutely amazing day with Sean touring the west side of Kauai!! We went into the Waimea Canyon and also spent time in Hanapepe, the Kauai Coffee Plantation, the Warehouse for lunch (and shopping...), and even met some friendly chickens (Sean's friends) and enormous sea turtles on Poipu beach! A truly amazing day, all thanks to Sean! He is not only incredibly knowledgable about all things Hawaii (and especially Kauai), but he was a total pleasure to be with and chat with, and he catered to our every need (timing, logistics, tour, drinks/snacks, pics, bathroom breaks, etc.). We definitely look forward to seeing Sean again to tour the rest of the island and will for sure recommend him to everyone we know!! Mahalo!

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.

This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!
