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

A very long night

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Arrived a bit before 4:30. Staff was quite rude that we were so early.
Also, everything was dragged out..far too long. Entertainment was too late for our granddaughter to enjoy as she fell asleep.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto

I love Kauai So much

Reviewed by: Kauai Lover

I and my husband enjoyed a lot. Our guide has very much knowledge about Kauai, and Hawaii's history, too. Even the tour was long, we never got bored!
That was our First trip to Kauai, and we didn't know where should we go. But this tour gave me so much experience in Kauai.
If you go to Kauai First time, you should join this tour!

This flight ended up being the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. At first we were a bit hesitant as my wife got sea sick on the boat trip the day before. However she had no problems on the flight. Bruce, our pilot did a wonderful job!

The tour itself was very joyful. Unfortunately, it was raining most of the time, it made the trip itself a little unconfortable.

Kauai Helicopter Tour & Eco Adventure Flight from Lihue - Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter

Reviewed by: Susan

I am afraid of heights and I was really afraid that I would have to close my eyes, like when I go to some of the i-max theaters. This was so great, it was peaceful and calm. I loved every minute of it and wished that it had lasted longer and my eyes never closed. I think that it is a great way to see the coast line, but also the mountains and the poi fields in Hanalei. I would do it again.

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

Everyone Had A Great Time

Reviewed by: H Baxter

We highly recommend this luau - the whole family from age 7 to age 75 enjoyed it. The food was awesome, the gardens were beautiful and the dancing was amazing. I love that this is a family run business, and you can tell that they all really invest their time and care into every detail. Even grandpa Smith was out in the food line making sure the buffet was tidy and fresh. I was really impressed by the quality of the dancers! Some might say, though, that this is a bit on the "schmaltzy" side - it might not have the cosmopolitan feel of some of the other luaus, I certainly wouldn't say it was a romantic or upscale sort of thing - but I liked the old-time feel of it. Also, don't rush to get there, we arrived at the very beginning and took the tram ride through the gardens - then waited about an hour for the entertainment and refreshments to start.

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

A lovely way to see the river

Reviewed by: HBaxter

We enjoyed this lazy trip down the river and learned a lot about the river on the way from the captain. The fern grotto was beautiful, though not quite as lush as it had once been (so don't expect it to look like the postcards you see! I guess the hurricanes did some damage). The entertainment at the grotto was also lovely - hearing the traditional Hawaiian wedding song (in Hawaiian) with beautiful harmonies was enchanting. I also love that this is a family run business, putting money back into the traditions of Hawaii and the families that reside there. We took our seven year old boy and nine year old girl, and grandma, and everyone enjoyed the trip.

This is the first time we took the boat trip up the river. I was impressed with the family involvement in every aspect of the luau and boat tour. They are very gracious people and must answer the same questions thousands of times yet they show an interest each time to make everyone feel special and not like some

The Smith's Luau is the best on Kauai. They have lovely grounds to tour, the emu ceremony is great. We have been to this before and I would recommend it to everyone. The tour up the river to the Fern Grotto was great. The people running these tours are well versed in the history and knowledge they share with guests. They make everyone feel special!

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

Absolutely the BEST Luau anywhere!

Reviewed by: Perscon

I've lived in Hawaii and returned for many occasions, and Smith's Luau is absolutely the BEST Luau on any island at any price! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, the staff was very friendly and outgoing, the food was absolutely the best and there was plenty of it! Open mai-tai bar was a great value, dinner entertainment was fun but not overwhelming and the show afterward was a great Luau value. The thing that impressed me the most was Mr Smith, the owner, was available, visible and active in every part of the evening, from un-earthing the pig to singing and entertaining at dinner. I would HIGHLY recommend this event for anyone who visits Kauai - you WON'T be disappointed!

Great to get a feel of the Kauai

Reviewed by: Unikiam

If you want to get a feel of the island, this is a great tour, although it made a really long day and would not be recommended for children. The bus driver, Auntie Alicia, is what really made it work. The pickup time was different than on the confirmation and lunch differed from what was posted; but Auntie Alicia's knowledge and cheeriness made up for those discrepancies.
