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

Ok.

Reviewed by: Deb D

Relatively inexpensive way to see some of the river greenery. Appreciated the history/culture narration. Lead entertainer on the way back was funny! Hula ladies don’t really seem into it, you feel like they are just doing a job and don’t necessarily enjoy it, and they seemed tired. Fern grotto a beautiful site.

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

A romantic river rendezvous

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

Wedding ceremonies have been held at the fern grotto for decades. It's a historic and beautiful spot to get married or renew your vows. We didn't know this before arriving but it was a special surprise since my fiance proposed the day before. The cruise to the fern grotto was the perfect way to end our vacation in Kauai. Even if you're not going for a wedding, you'll get to hear and watch Hawaiian singers and musicians perform a traditional Hawaiian wedding song. So whether you're celebrating an engagement, a honeymoon, or 50 years of marriage, this beautiful destination will fill your heart with love. I'm so glad we did this tour!

The Smiths family luau was very well organized. They took care of all the guest and made you feel very welcomed. The food was very delicious and the show was very well done with incredible dancing and special effects. You not only go there to have a good time, but you learn the history of the island and all it has to offer. I would rate this as a Superior experience.

Best Luau Experience

Reviewed by: Noble

Our whole party of six was pleasantly surprised by the Smith's Family Garden Luau. We have been to other luaus and this rates as the best so far. The grounds are beautiful! The food and service was excellent! The staff were very friendly. The dinner entertainment was nice and the after dinner show was very good and informative of Hawaiian cultural history.

Show was wonderful!

Reviewed by: T. G.

The grounds of the Smith Family Luau are beautiful, kept up well. The unearthing of the pig was a great experience. The food, well, it was okay, nothing special. The mai tai's were a funny brown color, not sure what juice was in it. The best part was the show. The music and dancers were amazing! So happy we were able to see it.

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>

The Cedar Cave for the first time in 43 years. 43年ぶりのシダの洞窟

Reviewed by: yokochan

I have visited Oahu and Hawaii Island many times, but this summer I went to Kauai for the first time in 43 years. I don't have any memories from back then, but it's a shame that you can't enter the caves now. Still, the area around the caves is full of atmosphere, and the boat tour was quite enjoyable with various activities.

オアフ島やハワイ島は何度も訪れていますが、今夏43年ぶりにカウアイ島に行ってきました。
当時の記憶は全然ないのですが、今は洞窟内に入れないのが残念ですね。
それでも洞窟周囲は雰囲気たっぷりですし、船上でもイロイロ楽しませてくれて、なかなか楽しいツアーでした。

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>

The tour of the Wailua River on Kauai Island was amazing. (It was all in English, but that didn't bother me.) カウアイ島のワイルア川の遊覧は最高でした。(すべて英語ガイドでしたが、気になりませんよ。)

Reviewed by: 道産子

Most of the passengers were from Europe and America, but we leisurely floated down the Wailua River. Onboard, there was a hula performance accompanied by Hawaiian songs played on the ukulele, which engaged the passengers in dancing and made for a fun experience. After disembarking, the "Fern Grotto" was just a few minutes away. It seems that in the past, visitors could enter the grotto, but now the view is only from the deck area in front, which was a bit disappointing, yet we still enjoyed it thoroughly. On the way back, we spent about an hour and a half, taking in the scenery and encountering canoes navigating the Kailua River. Since it was an early morning departure, it was just the right time to head out for lunch afterward. As it was my first time on Kauai, I think this is a recommended option.

乗客殆どが欧米人ばかりでしたが、ワイルア川をゆったりと下り、シダの洞窟までの船内はウクレレ演奏によるハワイアンソングでのフラショ-があり、乗船客を巻き込んでの踊りもあり楽しませてくれました。下船後の「シダの洞窟」は数分で着く場所にあり、以前は中に入れたようですが、現在は手前のデッキ広場からの眺めになり、少し残念ではありますが、十分に堪能出来ました。帰りは外の景色を眺めながら、カイルア川を行き来するカヌーと遭遇しながらの行程で約1時間半くらいの時間でした。朝一の出航だったので、終わると昼食に出掛けるのに丁度良い時間でしたよ。初カウアイ島だったので、おすすめのオプションだと思います。

There is no other way to see Kauai than from
above. There is so much of the island you can only see from above. I highly recommend doing it. This is our 2nd time here but 1st time seeing it from above. It is totally worth the money. Plus they are the only ones that let my 6 yr old on. After the ride, my wife and I looked at each other and couldn’t believe no other helicopter rides allowed him on it.

The weather was bad on the day I had made my reservation, and since it was hard to see much, the friendly and approachable staff kindly rescheduled my reservation for the next day. The guide during the flight was in English, so I couldn't understand everything, but I still had a great time! Since I had visited the attractions on Kauai the day before, I enjoyed it twice as much!

予約していた日には天気が悪く、あまりよく見られないとのことで優しく気さくなスタッフさんが、予約を翌日にずらして対応してくれました。

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Good, but not the best

Reviewed by: Andy

The food was very good, and the show was good as well. My only real complaint is the time gap between events happening. We arrived and were treated to a tram tour of the botanical gardens, which is fabulous. After that we had approximately 40 minutes before the Imu ceremony where they pull the pig out of the oven. Although we further explored the gardens, there's only so many times you can admire a flower or tree. My wife and I decided to find seats (open seating for parties less than 5), and we choose poorly. The bar doesn't open until after the Imu ceremony, so we weren't able to enjoy a drink (other than water) while we waited. After the Imu ceremony, the band started playing music and the bar opened. Once the buffet started, we realized our poor choice of seats, as we were among the last tables to be signaled for the buffet. At least we had drinks by that time, but the waiting wears on you. The food was good, but once we were finished, there was only the music to listen to. Normally this is an opportunity to talk to the other guests, but the seating arrangement isn't conducive to starting a conversation with strangers.
After another 30 minutes or dead time or so, we moved from the dining area to the theater. The show was entertaining, with traditional dances and music, but it just didn't flow as a story for me. I felt like it was more of a documentary of Hawaiian dance. My wife and I were ready to go when it was over (even before).
