The boat ride was so-so, the comentary was great but with a covered ride it was difficult to see the attractions. Upon arrival we were amazed at the folage and the Fern Grotto, very impressive, would I do it again ? no, been there done that but would reccomend to first timers to the Island.

This was my single most fun experience of Kauai and a definite must for anyone who wants to have some memorable fun! The staff members were wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly, informed, and safety-focused while making sure everyone had a great time.

I was one of the unlucky guests who experienced sea sickness. Looking back I think I could have avoided this unfortunate condition if I had consumed more water before and during the tour. I think a motion sickness medicine would have been good for me as well. I haven't had a lot of experience with boat tours, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I will next time. Even though I was sick during half of this tour I would still recommend it. The captain and crew were awesome! They were very attentive and provided a lot of information about the Na Pali coast, which is remote and beautiful. They went out of there way to make sure everyone had what they needed to have a great time. Actually, the next time I'm in Kauai I would try this tour again with the precautions I mentioned earlier. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was an excellent adventure. A little more about the type of "cruise" would have been helpful on the internet and booking information.
It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed our staff, and all that you experienced out on the water! Thank you so much for joining us and for your awesome review! Mahalo and Aloha

Smith's Luau was a wonderful experience for us. I brought my daughter and 3 grandsons ages 9, 10, and 12, and we all enjoyed it. The grounds are perfect, the staff is very professional, and the show was excellent. The food was great, it was the best pig I have ever eaten. When I go back to Kauai, I will definately go back for another of the Smiths' Family Luau. Thanks for having us and sharing your beautiful grounds with us.

The food was very good. I have seen shows at other luaus that I enjoyed more. This show seems to be family members and I prefer the shows that seek the best talent.

The cruise was very relaxing with the cool breeze on your face. It would even be better if you had hammock, but i do realize that maybe impossible.

The cruise was short but sufficient for the price. I recommend taking the 3:30 cruise and then going to the Smith Luau right beside the docks. Excellent site and entertainment and also worth the price.

We really enjoyed the entertainment aboard the boat. It was nice to see the fern grotto even if it wasn't as spectacular as the picture shown. Mother Nature has a way of changing things.

Staff always extremely friendly and knowledgible. The entire experience is beautiful and unique. Picnic and swimming site is also terrific. Everytime we visit and will visit Kauai we will do our mountain tubing.
Thank you for pleasant memories once again.

This is the second time I have taken this cruise, and I remember it being better before. Granted, part of the reason is not being able to go up to the actual Fern Grotto (one was able to walk through it before). It is a very pretty site, but I'm not sure that it is worth the price.

I have been to the Smith's Luau many times as a couple and with family and friends over the years. As a child I went to the Fern Grotto with members of the Smith family on their private boat long before it became commercialized. I highly recommend these activities to anyone. The entire family makes everyone feel a personalized welcome and are anxious to make your occasion very special.

The captain and his crew were great. They did everything to ensure that we had a pleasurable time. The Na pali coast is incredible. Trip was good for all ages. The water can be rough, so beware if you are prone to seasickness. Only problem was hawaii activities gave us the wrong checkin time. We sat around for 1/2 hour waiting for the checkin. Also the cruise ended alot later then
we had anticipated. But in the big scheme of things , no big deal.
We are beaming reading over your review! Thank you so much for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for sharing your oh-so-awesome review! We are elated to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us from beginning to end and hope to see you out on the water again soon! Mahalo and Aloha

Had a great time. Kayaking looks easier than it is, as it was tough to keep the kayak going straight. Nonetheless, we had a great time and the Secret Falls were absolutely beautiful.

17時から1時間は電動トラムにのってもいいし、歩いてもガーデンを散策する時間で、時間がない方は18時までに会場にはいればいいかんじです。神聖な儀式のイム(豚を土から掘り出す)をけっこう楽しみにしてたんですが、ほんとに男の人2人で土を掘るだけで別になんだかなという感じでした。参加者はばっとみたかんじ欧米人が大半でした。ツアーの人が多く、イムセレモニーの後、食事をする場所に移動するのですが、さすがに人気と言うだけあって、人が多く、席をさがすのに大変でした。ツアーのお客さんように席がとってあって、個人客は自分で探さないといけないし、外人ばっかりで、席とれないかとおもいました。席につくと、カクテルタイムで、マイタイなどはもうふんだんに作っておいてあって、ビールと各種お好みのカクテルはカウンターで注文して(無料)飲めました。そのあと、列ごとにバイキングの食事をとりに行くのですが、英語の説明なんかまったくわかんなかったので、知らなくて、まだ自分の順番でないのに食事を取ってきてしまいました。食事中はバンドの生演奏があって、いいかんじだけど、ルアウの場所も食事の場所から移動しないといけないので、うかうか食べてられないと思い、早々に次の会場へ移動しました。この会場移動がめんどくさいし、落ち着きませんでした。ルアウは1時間あって、照明を多用したこったステージです。太平洋をはさんで、各国の踊りを踊って、みんな仲良くしようねと言うコンセプトがあって、日本の踊りもあったけど、なぜか曲名はカ~ラスなぜなくの~で、日本人からするとかなりはぁ?っていう内容でした。最後のファイアーダンスだけはすばらしくって、これをもっとみせてほしいなぁと思いました。ルアウをみるというよりショーを見る感じ。伝統的なルアウの内容ではありませんでした。
