The crew is very friendly and gets to know you as you make your way out to the coast line. Then they provide you with a spectacular tour of the coast while sharing knowledge about the history of the coast line, Hawaiian culture and general ocean sea life. They stopped to show us spinner dolphins as a pod crossed our paths and pointed out other sea life native to Hawaii. Awesome Tour All Around!

My family, including four kids, had a wonderful time on the Na Pali coast boat tour. The crew went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. We saw bottlenose and spinner dolphins and tons of whales up close. The views of the coast were mesmerizing. Although the weather did not cooperate for snorkeling, the crew made up for it by letting us jump off the boat and swim. It was a day to remember and a highlight for the kids!

The boat ride over to the fern grotto was easy and short. Heard some history,, took a short walk to the grotto where they sang a song and danced. It was beautiful. Ride back had music and hula dancing. It was a slow day for us and this for perfect in our plans. Relaxing calm ride with great people. Highly recommend………………………………………………………………………………………………………we had a short lesson on how to hula dance on our way back to the dock.

Fun, enjoyed the music and narrative. Good history of the area

Saw all parts of the island. Tons of waterfalls. Even whales in the ocean. Saw one breech. Mark did an excellent job of explaining the island past and present. I had to reschedule due to rain but the next day was fabulous weather. Building staff very helpful and pleasant to work with.

People are great, fun, a good afternoon on the water

We weren't the most graceful surfers but sure had fun trying.

We didn't know how hard it would be to learn to surf. But our guide was patient and helpful. We had a blast and we all did catch a wave.

Sailing along the Na Pali coast with the towering mountains going down to the ocean was breathtaking. A can't miss tour.

Absolutely beautiful! Owen and David were great guides and full of information. I would highly recommend this.

So fun and relaxing! The staff was great! I was a little worried because we were the only couple with kids on our tour but everyone was awesome making sure they fit in and were safe. We all had a really good time! Love the history of it too!

First of all, I was surprised to see such a large river flowing in Hawaii (especially on the small island of Kauai). This tour has a history of 76 years, and I was moved to have a tour guide who is the granddaughter of the founder, Walter Smith. The atmosphere felt like a boat trip on the Amazon River, and I really enjoyed it. It was purely a river cruise (not going out to sea), and the boat didn't sway at all, so there was no seasickness. I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone, from small children to the elderly.

まず、ハワイに（しかも小さなカウアイ島に）こんなに大きな川が流れているのが驚きでした。このツアーは７６年の歴史があるそうですが、創始者ウォルター・スミスの孫娘にあたる方がツアーガイドをしてくださり感動しました。雰囲気的にはアマゾン川を船旅してるような感じで、結構楽しめました。純粋に川だけのクルーズで（海には出ない）、船も全く揺れずに船酔いもありませんでした。小さな子供から高齢の方まで問題なく楽しめるツアーだとおもいます。

This was a great tour that I am really happy that I went on. Harrison was our guide and was informative and a super nice guy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to combine kayaking and hiking. The trail to get to the falls was a bit muddy but not too bad. The falls are very impressive. Lots of fun!

Good time! This was my first Luau, and it was very enjoyable. Very professional establishment and they put the dinner and show on without a glitch.

We had a great time with the Smith Family cruising to the beautiful fern grotto. Our captain shared the history of the area with us as we cruised to the grotto and at the grotto, one of the performers shared more history with us. On the outward voyage we had music, dancing and song. On the way back we had the chance to learn a little hula dance. Gracious people and a good time.

It was a great little activity. We had done this 26 years ago for our anniversary so doing it again on our anniversary trip was great.

The staff were funny and very enjoyable. It was disappointing we couldn't go in the cave the last time you could. However we understand why.

I would definitely recommend this activity. Hearing about the history was awesome.

So glad we were able to do this! Would highly recommend! Harrison, our tour guide was awesome and made the tour that much better. He had a bunch of fun and interesting information that taught us about the island.

Extremely enjoyable trip! Harrison was very knowledgeable, outgoing, and extra attentive to everyone's needs. He gave off a vibe that he loves what he's doing and is "living the life"! Would definitely do this trip again.

Everything about this experience was perfect! The grounds are so beautiful. The food was very good and plentiful, as were the drinks! The show was great and I like that it was presented separately from dinner in their amphitheater. Everyone was very welcoming in the true spirit of Aloha!
Over the years, I have attended several luaus in Hawaii, at different venues on 3 of the islands and the Smith Family Luau on Kauai was by far the best!! I’m so glad that when I was researching which luau to choose that I chose them! My husband, our son, our daughter and her fiancé, and I want to extend a huge mahalo to the Smith Family for a wonderful evening!

My wife and I went on the Fern Grotto tour on our honeymoon in 1990. We didn't think they'd still be around, after Iniki ravaged Kauai and COVID shut down hundreds of businesses. The hotel where we stayed was gone so we feared there would be nothing left from our initial trip. But when we returned, there were the Smiths, still in business! We loved the informative cruise and especially the lovely traditional Hawaiian music - not the usual pandering with "Aloha Oe" and "Tiny Bubbles," but the real stuff. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this revisit to a highlight of our honeymoon.

The boat ride was very nice and theSmith family crew were very pleasant and informative. Seeing the grotto was awesome.

Pro: sensational show!

Con: rushed diner and so-so food

We had a blast!!! Jacob our tour guide was AMAZING and EXTREMELY informative. Braiden was a BLAST in the water!!! We recommend the tubing adventure for everyone. We were treated extraordinary. We would do it all over again and looking forward to our next adventure!!!

Thank you so much!!

Easy and fun activity to do with littles. The boat cruise is lovely and the fern grotto is beautiful. Stroller accessible throughout. Guided commentary on the way to the grotto and live entertainment on the way back. The staff is very kind.

My husband and I both agree this has been our favorite activity while in Hawaii (we’ve done several activities on 3 different islands). There are no words to describe the beauty of the coast!! Cameron & Tony were knowledgeable and very fun!! We saw several whales & spinner dolphins, which took our trip to the next level for us! Snorkeling was cancelled because of rough water, but we didn’t even notice because we were having so much fun!! Thanks Cameron & Tony for an awesome adventure!

We enjoyed the Wailua River Cruise immensely. Though it was less than two hours, the trip up the Wailua River was beautiful. The narration on the boat was informative and amusing. The Fern Grove at the end of the trip was stunning. Both at the Fern Grove and on the trip back we were entertained with music and hula dancing by charming performers who clearly love sharing these traditions with visitors. I should mention that I have mobility limitations, and the hosts on the boat were most kind and accommodating.

The trails are out in the open forests of Kauai, which made it amazing!! Waterfall swim only tops it off. Definitely do this

Lots to do on this one hike alone, the kayak start was awesome, into the gorgeous waterfall

Wow! Breathtaking views, and its awesome to get guided, you learn so much of the history.

Great evening, there is lots to do and learn on the plantation before the show even begins!
