Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Not worth it if you have to get transportation there…
Reviewed by: Nicole & Thomas, 2022/06/12The tour was nothing to write home about. The captain had corny jokes; from the boat, you couldn’t see anything but the hau trees that lined the river; once you get to the grotto, it’s a pretty view but you’re 50-100yards from the cave entrance. The family sang but with all the people there, you could barely hear.
The taxi ride from Poipu was $70 each way. Add that to the cost of 2 tickets($60), this tour was not worth $200. Had we been located closer to the harbor, we might have been able to justify the cost.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
River Cruise to Fern Grotto
Reviewed by: Cindy , 2022/06/05The experience was okay, and easy for most. The river cruise was relaxing and walk to the Grotto was not strenuous. However, the Fern Grotto was disappointing. It did not look like a "grotto" at all. The musical entertainment was okay but nothing to rave about. Something to do for seniors and children; otherwise, the tour is nothing to be excited about.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Great Time!
Reviewed by: Mike Nelson, 2022/05/18We had a great time with the kayak to the sacred falls. Our tour guide T was phenomenal. He was very personable ( even learned all 12 of our names during the trip) and taught us many things along the trail. We are novice kayakers and felt that the trip was well suited to our abilities. The hike was very easy as well. Would highly recommend and would like to say a huge thank you to T for making the experience over the top.

Family oriented and extremely accommodating to dietary needs
Reviewed by: Mama Bear, 2022/05/01The manager - Kamika - was the host for the evening and his hospitality was phenomenal. The whole evening was incredibly well thought out and organized. It was very family oriented. I eat a fully plant-based diet and he personally came to our table to inform me of the amazingly unexpected meal accommodations they made JUST for me. The experience was incredible.

Outstanding adventure
Reviewed by: Tara Haefner, 2022/04/28Mike was a fantastic guide! He made it fun and was very knowledgeable about the area!!
Aloha Tara,
Keeping it fun, safe and leaving with some knowledge to help you understand the natural history is the aim in all our snorkel, waterfalls and Na Pali paddling tours.
Mike exemplifies this philosophy.
Thanks for sharing. Stay well and keep learning.

We were here 50 yrs ago on our honeymoon. Not the same but it was still beautiful. Thank you
Reviewed by: OBrien’s , 2022/04/28Nice boat ride to the Fern Grotto. Driver & dancers were awesome. The singers were exceptional. They sang the Hawaiian wedding song just like they did for us 50yrs ago on our honeymoon. We weren’t able to go inside as before. But it was still magical all the same. Thank you. Carl & Terri OBrien

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Best Luau show deal around!
Reviewed by: JoseP, 2022/04/23We have been to luaus on all four major Hawaiian islands and they are expensive. Traveling with a party of six can be quite expensive. Being able to just purchase tickets for a luau show was very inexpensive and the value was fantastic. Great show we actual stadium style seating. And for the price, this is the best luau show on any of the islands. A short “train” ride from the entrance was also included in the price, which was only $20 per person when we went. Great value!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Better than any other luau we’ve been too!
Reviewed by: Sabra , 2022/04/17This was such a good luau! My teens are still ranting and raving over how much better this one was than the others we’ve been too. They really loved all different stories alongside all the different dances. Even our friends kids 5 years and below loved it! The wall in was long- but they offer a tram for anyone who needs it so that’s awesome. I love how the pathway was lit with tiki torches to get you in the mood. This is a show, not really an engaging show where they invite you to the stage so that’s nice to not be put on the spot. I wish they offered booze and drinks for the show but we just did the show portion so maybe it was included in the food part. My 2 year old fell asleep for the show, so maybe if they offered an earlier show like 7pm she would’ve been awake and I would’ve preferred that. Thank you for a great show!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Rush to get an edge seat!
Reviewed by: Familywithkids, 2022/04/16The grotto was beautiful, the dancing and singing was great. The overhead boat speakers were really hard to hear- we couldn't make out the stories they were telling well. If you get stuck in the middle, you can't see anything. Overall, it's not something I'd do more than once.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Must do excursion
Reviewed by: Brad, 2022/04/07Great trip. A must do for outdoors people. Leisurely paddle , rain showers and hiking through mud. Uneven terrain. Wading across rivers and getting a refreshing swim in the waterfall pool. So much fun!!! Bring rain gear, wear good shoes……. we wore keen sandals, and wear a swimsuit for the waterfall swim.
Aloha Brad, We market this tour for the active family. We also tell folks to "embrace the mud" at times. Thanks for your review and letting others know
what gear to bring. Until then...thanks for making it possible. Stay active and safe.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Wonderful activity, fantastic guide, great time!
Reviewed by: J Slayton, 2022/03/24Went on this kayak, hiking and swimming adventure with my sister. It did not disappoint at all.
Justice our guide was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, super friendly and made sure everyone was having fun and doing good. His dog precious girl Koi was such a treat to have as our companion, we just loved her.
The Kayaking was refreshing and captivating with beautiful surrounds for a hike. It was not a difficult or long hike so can be done by most and allowed us to just have a great time. I would highly recommend this activity and tour company Kayak Kauai / NaPali Outfitters, Inc.
Aloha J,
Rumors are that Justice's dog is who is really guiding his tours.
Seriously, thanks for taking the time to share your experience and kind words. You make it possible for us to do what we do and to share the beauty of Kaua'i.
Stay paddling and active.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Smith’s river cruise
Reviewed by: Beverly Kramer , 2022/03/22Once again the Smith family didn’t disappoint us with this river cruise. Telling us a little bit about the Smith family and the 5 generations who have worked there. Told us about the plant life on the island. We were treated to a Hawaiian song at the end of our short hike. My 81 year old father had no problems walking this short walk. On the way back to the dock we were given hula lessons and told what each hand gesture meant. Then we all did the luau while the song was being sung. It was awesome!
When we arrived to the island I thought I booked the cruise on the Wednesday but it was on Tuesday. I was called because we weren’t there and told it was no problem and that they would be rescheduled for the Wednesday.
Wonderful experience! I HIGHLY recommend is cruise!
