Luau Kalamaku - Kauai Polynesian Show with Hula & Fire Dancers

Reviewed by: Danita Docka , 2024/03/10

The meal was lacking in authentic Hawaiian foods. The drinks were too sweet.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

“Ohana”

Reviewed by: San Francisco , 2024/03/02

The Smith family really made you feel like “Ohana”. They were very welcoming and embraced and welcomed each and every guest with a pooka lai; photo, tram tour, exhibition on how pig was prepared and cooking process; unlimited buffet style meal with authentic cultural entrees, desserts and “poi”; and evening entertainment.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

It was ok

Reviewed by: B Denney, 2024/02/21

When I think of a Luau, I think of the movie with Adam Sandlin, Jennifer Aniston, and Nicole Kidman in Just Go With It - in Maui.

The Luau we attended here was different than my expectations. The arboretum on the property was beautiful and full of a variety of plants, trees, animals, and some sea life.

The buffet style food approach was ok, but nothing exceptional unfortunately.

After dinner, there was a show to reflect the Hawaiian history and culture through dance, which culminated in a one-man fire stick show.

Again, all okay. Probably the coolest thing to me was the fact that it's a family business of more than 5 generations. Hats off to them!

Luau Kalamaku - Kauai Polynesian Show with Hula & Fire Dancers

Excellent luau experience, esp with kids!

Reviewed by: Dana, 2023/12/10

I specifically booked this luau because I read it was a great experience for kids. We loved the train ride, especially, which is unique to this location. You get to feed the pigs, cows, and horses at a stop along the way! My 2 and 5 year olds loved it. The food was good - lots of variety for different diets - and open bar is awesome!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

This is a Kauai "Must See"!

Reviewed by: judi, 2023/11/19

There are several luaus that take place on the island of Kauai and I am not familiar with the others. Having said that, this show blew me away! I was not expecting such a beautiful, dramatic, outdoor setting, so many different types of dances, and a wonderful history of Hawaiian culture! My mother and I opted for the "show only" experience since we are not big carnivores. The check-in and tram ride were super efficient and helped to set the scene for the big show. As soon as the show started, I knew we'd made the right choice to see the Smith's Family Garden Luau. If you want an amazing experience for a very reasonable price, book this luau when you are in Kauai!

Luau Kalamaku - Kauai Polynesian Show with Hula & Fire Dancers

Wonderful Show

Reviewed by: Norma M, 2023/11/12

The show was wonderful, I was surprised by the great cast and the excellent presentation with the fire.

The food at the buffet was delicious with 3 main dishes to choose from, plus salad, fruits, dessert and drinks all included in one price.

I recommend this show for the whole family, it is a wonderful experience.

Great show

Reviewed by: Carlos García , 2023/10/30

My first show ever , I did not know what to expect but I loved it . I am definitely coming back and enjoy the garden next time . The theater was something I really loved . The last act with the fire was my favorite. I do recommend for families or even for solo travelers . I learned a little more about the culture and the different races that have made Hawaii a paradise with culture and history

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Absolutely Top-Notch Experience and Loving Staff

Reviewed by: Cameron Immesoete, 2023/09/23

I've been fortunate to attend somewhere between 10 and 12 different Lu'aus, mostly in O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui, and Hawai'i. Our experience at Smith's was superior for the following reasons:

1. Atmosphere and ambience: the Garden is absolutely beautiful, and few lu'aus have an ambience like this. Another good one for this to be fair is the Polynesian Cultural Center Lu'au.
2. Authenticity: the Polynesian & Fire Show, and other traditions (like pulling the pig from the earth) encompassed in the lu'au, were top-notch and very well-executed.
3. The Food & Drinks: a greater variety, quantity, and quality of food & drinks were offered here versus any other lu'au I've attended. There were two times as many food choices, and thanks to the buffet style, you can feast on them all.
4. The Staff: the staff here is so genuinely kind. My fiancee and I biked a few miles over to this lu'au and we had to bike back in the dark. Our hostess ran to her car and gave us some headlamps! It was so kind of her. We're really grateful for the Smith Family team.

Thank you all very much. I highly, highly, highly recommend.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Must do in Kauai!!

Reviewed by: Sabra , 2023/09/21

This luau is informing and very exciting! They talk a lot about the past of Kauai and ancestral history. Price point at only $25 (without dinner) is absolutely great, especially for families with little ones. Handicap seating is available. Main seating area is at a slant so if you want to sit towards the bottom (closer) come early. My 1 year old even loved it and was clapping. Attire is Hawaiian style and it’s wonderful to see all the cool outfits. Bathrooms are close by and water is provided. I felt it ran a bit short this time compared to last year but it was still super amazing and would 100% go again.

Luau Kalamaku - Kauai Polynesian Show with Hula & Fire Dancers

Luau (not on a beach)

Reviewed by: Colorado, 2023/09/16

Entertainment was great! Everyone was very nice. Pictures were awesome. It was not all you could eat and drink. The food was cafeteria style and put away before we could get seconds. Desert was basic. Not at all what we expected at a luau.

Where is the pig on a spit?? Fresh fruits and vegetables from the island?

Definitely should’ve done more research before attending a Luau. If you want a Beach Luau, this is not the one for you. If you wanna plantation in Luau, where the people are friendly, and the food is average, this is your place!

Best all around

Reviewed by: Kimberly Tan , 2023/07/07

We have been to several luaus on different islands. The total experience here from start to finish was excellent. The grounds are beautiful with a lot of great photo opportunities and the food was surprisingly delicious! The drinks were tasty and they kept them coming. The show was not only entertaining with traditional components but had a flare of different cultures that really added to the experience! Absolutely a must when choosing which luau to attend. I was worried when the price was significantly more affordable but wow was I ever so happy with my choice. Would definitely recommend!!

Exciting Show

Reviewed by: Gage, 2023/05/25

Staff did a wonderful job. Beautiful lush garden setting. Tram and set up was wonderful. Just paid for the show -- best deal on the island. Seemed like a few dancers at different parts of the show forgot what they were doing. It was actually kind of laughable. Other than that, all-in-all it was a good time.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Highlight of our trip

Reviewed by: JAV, 2023/05/24

This was my first luau and I was impressed! We had a very nice cruise to the fern grotto first which seamlessly ended right before the luau entrance time began. The location from the dock to the entrance was also very close by. The whole evening was seamlessly organized. We had a time to get there, get cocktails, watch the unearthing of the pig, then get the buffet. They let people know when to go to the buffet so it wasn’t a swarm. Love the limited open bar as well! People also were handing out drinks on trays so the bar line wasn’t an issue. I am vegetarian and since I specified ahead of time they gave a separate plate as well for me. The plate seems to be suitable for vegans as well. I was so full! I like the high chair for my toddler because it has a good table for him that was also removable. There is also an orchid garden and other gardens to walk or take a tram around to see. The show was also spectacular. Great transitions and dancing! Mahalo for a great night!
