Nicely organized and fun filled event. Just performance isn’t that high level. Dancers were ok but not really professional level of dancers. Food was good. And overall experience was very good.

I am so glad we decided to go to this Luau. The dancers were amazing, food terrific, and the gentleman who was leading the show was hilarious! I would definitely recommend this luau if you’re wanting a traditional Hawaiian luau. The announcer takes you through all the islands, explains the dances, and even teaches you how to say hello in Tahitian/Samoan/Hawaiian.

We wanted to give this tour 4.5 stars but couldn't. We really enjoyed the sights and the information that our guide Steve provided. He was attentive, informative, and entertaining. One suggestion would be to have a bottle of water available for each tour guest.

This was a good experience all the way around! Ordering tickets was easy through Veltra. Check in was seamless.
The 10 min tram ride around the beautiful grounds was just long enough to give an overview of the area but not so long that a 3 year old would get bored. They allowed time before dinner to walk around and get the wiggles out. The food was good and they even marked the gluten free dishes. There was another break before the show to run around and use the restrooms (even had a golf cart to transport there & back). The acts were exciting enough, and short enough to keep the toddler entertained and the fire dancer was great! Only drawbacks: cell service almost non-existent (hard to connect with late arrivers), lots of waiting to get in because of the photo line-maybe do it after tram ride).

Relatively inexpensive way to see some of the river greenery. Appreciated the history/culture narration. Lead entertainer on the way back was funny! Hula ladies don’t really seem into it, you feel like they are just doing a job and don’t necessarily enjoy it, and they seemed tired. Fern grotto a beautiful site.

Wedding ceremonies have been held at the fern grotto for decades. It's a historic and beautiful spot to get married or renew your vows. We didn't know this before arriving but it was a special surprise since my fiance proposed the day before. The cruise to the fern grotto was the perfect way to end our vacation in Kauai. Even if you're not going for a wedding, you'll get to hear and watch Hawaiian singers and musicians perform a traditional Hawaiian wedding song. So whether you're celebrating an engagement, a honeymoon, or 50 years of marriage, this beautiful destination will fill your heart with love. I'm so glad we did this tour!

The Smiths family luau was very well organized. They took care of all the guest and made you feel very welcomed. The food was very delicious and the show was very well done with incredible dancing and special effects. You not only go there to have a good time, but you learn the history of the island and all it has to offer. I would rate this as a Superior experience.

This was a great show last time I came to Kauai I went to Smith's and this was by far a better show. For one it was on the beach like a luau should be, The pork was delicious, not as strong tasting flavor like some. They had chicken as well. Salad, mac salad, desserts were delish, pineapple upside down cake. Yummmm! The food was amazing the dancers were awesome the singing was beautiful. The fire performer was freaking AMAZING! My 7 year old Granddaughter was engaged the whole show. Thanks to all the performers! Not to mention this was a great deal! Thanks again!

Luau Makaiwa was a great experience! The food was delicious. We loved the mai tais and pineapple juice. The management was top notched. They made sure we were taken care of. Entertainment was great! The music was very soothing. The dancers were very graceful.
I would recommend everyone to attend this luau because you will have a great time and will not regret it. Location is close to the beach. There was even a professional photographer.

The food and service was excellent! The staff were very friendly. The dinner entertainment was nice and the after dinner show was very good and informative of Hawaiian cultural history.

The Luau Makaiwa was a fantastic experience. We visited the island in February and were greeted by lot of rain during the majority of our trip. Luckily, the Luau is inside a giant tent outside and by the water. The buffet food at the Luau was tasty! I wish there were more options for entrees and desserts however. Open bar had wine, beer, and mai tais. It was my boyfriend and I's first Luau and we both had a great time. This is a smaller production Luau which in many ways could be a great thing. Every table had a good view of the stage and it had a smaller family vibe rather than an extravagant production like the other luaus on the island. There were some vendors and activities planned but there could have been more in my opinion. The musicians and dancers were funny and talented. The performances were both entertaining and educational encompassing all of Polynesian culture. I can see this being a great activity for families who want to avoid the crazy crowds at the other Luaus and still get a authentic experience.

The grounds of the Smith Family Luau are beautiful, kept up well. The unearthing of the pig was a great experience. The food, well, it was okay, nothing special. The mai tai's were a funny brown color, not sure what juice was in it. The best part was the show. The music and dancers were amazing! So happy we were able to see it.

This was my first Luau and wow what a great experience. I attended with my Mother. The place where the Luau was beautiful, although I wish it was slightly closer to the ocean!!
It was awesome to have vendors there, I got myself the cutest turtle necklace I had seen on the island.
The table where we were placed was directly mid stage which was perfect for the performances. The company at the table was also great. The food was delicious, desert was just ok. Open bar of Mai tais was of course amazing.
The performers were by far my favorite. So much beauty in the dancing, instruments, singing and their attire.
I was so happy to find this deal and was very impressed with my very first Luau.
