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.

Kauai ATV Waterfall Tour at Kipu Ranch - Off-Road 3-Hour Expedition
What a blast!
Activity Date: 2026/02/11 | Posted on: 2026/02/16

My husband and I took the ATV tour between rain storms last week. I think that made it extra special because of all the water we drove through. Our tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They kept the tour fun and safe for all. The history behind Kipu Ranch and the many movies and TV shows filmed there was very interesting. The waterfall was very nice even though the pool below was muddy from all of the recent rain. I would highly recommend this tour. Even in our early 70's, we easily drove even the roughest terrain in the very comfortable and save Kawasaki ATVs!

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!

Cody and team were funny and attentive. The tubing was a blast. Definitely bring a long sleeve rash guard or if you get cold quickly seriously consider renting wet suit top. About 3 in our group of about 20 got quite cold. Rest of us were fine. This is a must do when on Kauai.

Kauai VIP Private Car Transportation Service - SUV & Sprinter Van Charter
Excellent Tour!
Activity Date: 2026/01/30 | Posted on: 2026/02/01

We used this service for 2 half-day tours on Kauai. It was a super great experience!

Scott, our guide and driver, was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and its history, as well as being an excellent wheel-man. He was very helpful especially in getting our canes and walkers out of the vehicle and re-loading them multiple times during the rides. He also went out of his way to take us to some excellent places we didn't know about, and the views were outstanding!

Many, MANY thanks to KLT and especially to Scott! Mahalo!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha KNC,

Thanks for recommending us and for the 5 stars. On our hike to the falls we ask folks to at times to "embrace the mud" and while you are, Harrison is there to keep it fun, safe and informed.

And yes…some sort of aqua shoes or beater tennis shoes should work.

A hui hou,

Well organized even if our party did not show up at same time. We were a party of 12. Dinner was efficient. No coconut cake tho. My son and his new bride got married that day and so the luau served as their reception. We were thrilled this couple was made note of. We were happy with our choice of luau. Maholo.
