Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome Experience/Thank you Jeffrey
Reviewed by: Barbie n Ken
This was one of the best (if not THE best) Hawaii adventure we've been on yet. Paddling and steering the kayak was definitely difficult for us older newbies, but we were able to figure it out and not capsize.
Our guide Jeffrey was very experienced and showed great patience with the group; we felt like he was one of the reasons we enjoyed the experience so much.
Thanks again for the memories...

Ozzie was great!
Reviewed by: Utahan’s
We appreciated Izzie being informative and fun. She made sure that we were well prepared for an awesome adventure!!
Aloha Utahan,
Like others who have had the good fortune to be in the company of Izzie, your guide Izzy has a growing fan club.
If Izzy knew it, she could fast become an influencer.
Seriously, Izzy has raised the bar for all guides plying the Wailua River on their way to enjoying the Sacred/Secret Falls.
Thanks for taking the time and Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou,

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Okay trip
Reviewed by: April
This trip was fine, and thankfully inexpensive. The entertainers seemed to not want to be there. They went through the motions, but weren’t excited. The fern grotto was cool to see, and it was neat to go through a jungle.

Our Family Tradition...Smith Family Luau
Reviewed by: Donna
This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!

Fern Grotto
Reviewed by: Michael Thiem
This was a great/relaxing experience. Nice cruise up and down the river, good historical information, and easy walk to the grotto. Well worth the time. If you have any problems walking then do not try this. The walk is short but why pay just for a boat ride? This was worth MY time and I would do it again.

Reviewed by: Montefam
This river boat tour was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our guides were talented, insightful, and had a great sense of humor. The fern grotto was a lovely stroll. The live entertainment set the mood for the rest of our trip. If you are weary about going on this river boat, don’t be, it is a sweet smooth ride. We highly recommend doing this tour while visiting Kauai.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Budget friendly getaway from the beach (wheelchair/kid friendly)
Reviewed by: JD
Large boat brings you about 30 mins down river with a tour guide speaking overhead. Our tour guide was very funny and was probably my favorite part of this activity. You’ll disembark at an area with walkways/bathroom through a lush rainforest that eventually ends at an area with a large cliff/cave. APPLY BUG SPRAY! There are lots of mosquitoes in this area.
Here you’ll get a short history of the location as well as some music/hula dancing.
You’ll head back to boat and return with more traditional ukulele music/hula dancing.
Wasn’t a fan of the music myself, but enjoyed the trip overall.
If you aren’t able to do a strenuous hike, wheelchair bound, or have small children this activity is short enough to get a taste of the scenery without the hassle of a rough walking trail.
