Poipu Whale Watching Tour & Cocktail Day Cruise - Kauai Sea Tours [Dec - Mar]
Should be called whale AND dolphin tour
Activity Date: 2026/03/28 | Posted on: 2026/03/30

Great your! An added surprise and probably the highlight of the tour for me, we saw so many dolphins and they got up close and personal with us! We also managed to spot a few whales and a baby! Wren and Ryder were both fantastic also. Definitely worth the price!

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations
So fun
Activity Date: 2026/03/05 | Posted on: 2026/03/28

Such a fun adventure! I was expecting it to be much more slow, on more paved roads, but it was an actual good side-by-side trail with some mildly technical spots and a good amount of speed. We loved it!

Great trip on the river! The captain was very informative on the local culture. The crew performed a dance at the grotto and also performed several dances on the way back on the boat. A good value.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Great food and show
Activity Date: 2026/03/19 | Posted on: 2026/03/22

Really enjoyed the food and entertainment both while eating and fabulous Polynesian show afterwards. Even liked the poi. I ate it with the lomi lomi salmon and it was really great that way. The Polynesian show was one of the best saw here on the Islands. Had a great story line that really made the show. Great music all the way through.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show
Lovely evening
Activity Date: 2026/03/04 | Posted on: 2026/03/06

We enjoyed a tram tour through the gardens prior to the Imu ceremony, explaining the cooking process of the Kalua pig. Everyone on the property was welcoming and made out experience great. Food was typical luau fare, and seconds were offered after everyone had been through the line once. Bar was open for drinks, and we were allowed to take them over to the show at the pavilion for the show. The show provides some history, different cultures that melded in to current Hawai’i. It was very interesting. Overall a lovely evening.

Activity Date: 2026/03/02 | Posted on: 2026/03/04

The Fern Grotto tour was a great precursor to the Smith Family Luau. The trek was interesting, and we learned some historical facts, and saw some beautiful scenery. The hula dancing was fun (to watch). It was well worth the time

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
Fine way to kill 2 hours but nothing special
Activity Date: 2026/02/16 | Posted on: 2026/02/18

It is what it claims. You sit and ride up the river to a short hike to a natural feature where water drips over cavernous undercut. On tour they explained a few things but the acoustics where I sat weren't great to understand everything. Between that they sang some Hawaiian songs. All fine. Just wouldn't expect too much.

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula
A very fun river cruise
Activity Date: 2026/02/11 | Posted on: 2026/02/15

While in Kauai with family we decided to try the Smith Family Fern Grotto River Cruise, which was an awesome choice of entertainment. We love history and learning about places we visit, so we were pleasantly surprised when the beginning of the cruise was a full narration of the interesting history and geography of the Waimea River. The crew led us to the breathtaking Fern Grotto and enhanced the experience with beautiful music. On the way back to the dock we were entertained with music and dancing, which was very fun. The trip ended much too soon! The cost was very reasonable. We would highly recommend this trip!
