Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Great night full of delicious food and a fun show
Reviewed by: Ashton
The gardens here are so beautiful and I loved getting the time to be able to walk around at our own pace after taking the tram around before the events started. Getting to see the Imu ceremony was one of the best parts to me, it was very neat to be able to see how they cook the pig! The food was delicious and they had a nice variety to choose from and the fire knife portion of the show was amazing! We had a great time.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Best Luau!
Reviewed by: MikeC
This was our third time attending the Smith Luau.
The whole venue/event is first class starting with the tour of the beautiful grounds and gardens.
That is followed by the ceremony of removing the pig from the cooking pit and the history surrounding that.
After a short break, its time for the luau buffet which has incredible salads, pork, chicken, etc... and an open bar with a nice selection of drinks available and their mai tais, of course.
During the buffet, there is live entertainment on a stage for all to see. If you're lucky, Kameka Smith will be there and he is very entertaining and has a pretty darn good voice.
After the buffet, everyone walks to an outdoor stage and is treated to an hour plus long theatrical production featuring fire, drummers, dancers, live music and a historical narration of the origins and history surrounding Hawaii. The show alone is worth going for, but throw in the gardens, the delicious food, constant entertainment and its the BEST.
PS - Don't forget to say hello to Auntie Cecilia. She met Elvis 4 times!

Smith's Family Luau
Reviewed by: Judy
The entire evening was so great because we had time to relax on the beautiful grounds and take pictures before dinner. The dinner was first class with so much food. The employees were so attentive and spoke to us often. The entertainment is of course very professional. This is a treasure to have these traditions kept alive. Thank you so much. We were sad when it ended.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Great adventure for all ages!
Reviewed by: Anna
Dustin did a great job interacting with all of us and we were a very diverse group (age, gender and skill level)!
He was very knowledgeable of Hawaiian culture. We also learned a lot about the plants and animals of the area. Beware of the wild boar. ;-)
The hike was muddy but not too difficult. The waterfall was spectacular and much colder than expected.
Would definitely do this again! The morning is cooler and may be drier than the afternoon.

Amazing!
Reviewed by: Dee
The food was delicious but very little time to eat! We were seated in a table where we were the last to be fed which was ok but thought they would give us more time to eat & drink. The garden is beautiful and enjoyable! The Smith's Luau was a great choice.
The Show was great too!

Reviewed by: Virginia / Missouri
Greeted with Aloha and smiles.
We have been many times to this luau. We enjoy it every time. Food is good, and if you don’t get full it’s your fault. Plenty of alcohol too. Every thing included in price. You learn a little history at the show.
The Smith family is very attentive. They are the definition of Aloha!

Great time
Reviewed by: Ron Z
This was a great time. This was our first time in kayak and we did awesome as our guide said. The hike to the falls was muddy but well worth it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a little adventure.
Thanks Ron for a nice review. Summer "dryness" has arrived and the trail is a wee bit less muddy. Thanks for warning folks about the mud.
Stay paddling and hiking.

We had such an amazing time in Kauai, but one of our favorite events was the Kayak and Snorkel excursion up the Hanalei River Anne snorkeling on the reef. Our guides, Lisa and Steve, did amazing jobs. I’d highly recommend it to anyone!
Mark...usually reply to review in a timely fashion. May have been paddling myself.
We are in the summer calms and the snorkeling has been dynamite.
We are waiting for your return.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Review of kayak and hike
Reviewed by: John
Overall I had fun. The trip is basically kayak for 2 miles, hike for 1 mile, visit a 100' water fall, and then hike back for 1 mile and then kayak for 2 miles. Since I like physical activity, this trip worked well for me.
Kayaking requires some physical work, and since there are 2 people per kayak, at last one should be in good physical shape.
Hiking was through lots of mud. You will cross streams, ankle deep mud, and will get dirty. Best to wear sandals since sneakers will be ruined. My youngest son loved this part (getting dirty is always fun).
Aloha John,
Thanks for taking the time and for your nice and constructive review on what to expect and what to bring.
If you don't like to paddle and hike this could be wrong tour for some.
Keep active...and thanks again.
A hui hou,
Micco

Reviewed by: Tiffany D
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.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
BEST DAY EVER!
Reviewed by: Renee
A beautiful, unique, and memorable experience. The guide was friendly and helpful, everyone was able to paddle up the river at their own pace, the river is lined with greenery, but the real treats were the hike along a gorgeous trail with amazing foliage and, of course, the waterfall. Swimming in the pool at the base of the waterfall and looking up at the water pouring over the cliff is an experience like no other. I went with my teenage daughter on a beautiful sunny day. There were no significant recent rains, so the trail was not muddy or slippery and the hike wasn't strenuous at all. I highly recommend this tour!
Aloha Renee,
Glad you enjoyed our Wailua River paddle and hike to the Sacred Falls with your daughter.
Yes it’s pretty classic and you gave a really nice review. Thanks for taking the time and until our trails cross.
Stay paddling and hiking.
Aloha,
Micco
