Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Great family run business.
Reviewed by: CAS, 2023/02/15The 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.

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＞
とてもリラックスできました
Reviewed by: ハワイ好き, 2023/01/28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。

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Excellent short cruise with entertainment
Reviewed by: Cheryl, 2023/01/22We 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.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Great little adventure!
Reviewed by: Leslie Cody, 2023/01/22It 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.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Family-run business, run smoothly, good value; hosts and hostesses professional with keen sense of humor.
Reviewed by: Cary, 2023/01/11My 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.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
A wonderful, memorable trip
Reviewed by: wbeeman, 2022/12/31We 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.

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＞
ちょうど良く楽しめるツアー
Reviewed by: もこもこ, 2022/12/21ツアーの時間の内訳としては、シダの洞窟への移動に片道30分程度、そしての洞窟周辺で30分程度の計1時間半のツアーでした。
子供たちが4歳と1歳9ヶ月だったので、親共々そこまで疲れず楽しめて良かったです。
もちろん川を進む船の中、シダの洞窟にて自然を満喫できます。
また近くにKamalani playgroundという子供たちが遊ぶには良い場所があるので、その点も良かったです。

Smith’s Fern Grotto
Reviewed by: BarbW, 2022/11/05This boat ride was amazing. The entertainment was very good with Hawaiian hula dancing and singing. When we got to the grotto it was a short easy walk and once again we were entertained at the grotto where Elvis sang in the movie Blue Hawaii. On the trip back down river one of our guides gave us lots of history of the area including places where movies had been filmed.
It was a very pleasant morning and would recommend Smith’s Fern Grotto tours to everyone.

Fun and easy adventure
Reviewed by: Tami Lake, 2022/10/08This cruise was so much fun. It started off with the tour guide walking us through so interesting facts. The staff was really funny. They made you feel comfortable. The hula dancer was really good. When the boat landed at the trail, it was really easy. It’s a good tour for elderly or those that are physically challenged. I say this because the hike is more like a short walk on a maintained path. It was great and very inexpensive.
