Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
It was ok
Reviewed by: B Denney, 2024/02/21When I think of a Luau, I think of the movie with Adam Sandlin, Jennifer Aniston, and Nicole Kidman in Just Go With It - in Maui.
The Luau we attended here was different than my expectations. The arboretum on the property was beautiful and full of a variety of plants, trees, animals, and some sea life.
The buffet style food approach was ok, but nothing exceptional unfortunately.
After dinner, there was a show to reflect the Hawaiian history and culture through dance, which culminated in a one-man fire stick show.
Again, all okay. Probably the coolest thing to me was the fact that it's a family business of more than 5 generations. Hats off to them!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Interesting
Reviewed by: Mary, 2024/02/17I enjoyed the cruise and found it informative. The grotto was beautiful and there were a lot of interesting plants along the jungle like walk.
My husband didn't care for it because of the amount of people on board. A bus from a cruise ship let ofF their tour people which made it pretty crowded but that is to be expected. My husband just doesn't like to be in crowds.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch
Great experience
Reviewed by: wallatom, 2024/02/11We were reassured that the tour would be a "go" even though rain was threatening. The group was a bit hesitant but the trip went without a hitch, even when the skies opened up and we got dumped on. The tubing portion was great and a lot of fun for all. Kiersten was a great lead guide, and her team made sure that everyone was safe. Lunch was good, but dampened by the downpour. Overall, I believe that everyone in the group had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this adventure. Special kudos to Kiersten.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Awesome Time & Awesome Guide
Reviewed by: Russell & Maddison, 2024/01/21The adventure starts with kayaking out of the marina and up the river. The current is very slow, so you have plenty of photo opportunities and chances to enjoy the views. Wear a hat and sunscreen, you don't have shade for much of this portion.
Next is a hike through the rainforest. 95% of the hike is easy. There are a few river crossings, muddy inclines, and slippery/uneven footings. The hike is definitely not grueling, and I never felt tired. But if someone had mobility or balance issues, they would struggle at a few spots. I'd take my kids, but not my grandma.
Third is lunch at the waterfall. It's an uneven/rocky area, but our lunch was good. The views here are amazing. The pool of water is VERY cold. It's shallow enough to walk all the way under the waterfall.
You get about an hour at the waterfall. Then you hike and kayak back to where you started.
Our guide was Justice. He was very knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife, and history of the area. He had lots of interesting stories. The trip was enjoyable & he definitely added to the fun. Justice will tell you that "Hawaii is magic" and after this vacation we might agree.
When we eventually make it back to Kauai, visiting the waterfall will surely be on the list of activities.
Wow Russell and/or Maddison,
One of you should write a guide book. Do you want to start writing copy for us? (Smiling face)
A very,,,,very good description of what is involved and might say the the excellence of our guides such as Justice.
Thanks for taking the time…it’s a beautiful world out there.
Stay well and active.

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition
Exceptional Fun
Reviewed by: Chrystina , 2023/12/24Very well organized! Our guides were very informative of the area. It's the perfect blend of riding with brief stops to take amazing pictures and breathe in Kauai's beauty and gorgeous scenery. It rained throughout our tour which made it muddier and that much more fun! We saw the waterfall, but for safety reasons, weren't able to swim in it. Be sure to take clothes and SHOES you won't mind getting muddy. The facility had an area to rinse off after the tour. It's an adventure must do!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Beautiful views, relaxing.
Reviewed by: Bette lou, 2023/12/21The riverboat cruise was a great experience. The riverboat ride was gentle and relaxing. The views were exceptional. Our host gave us a background of the area, which was interesting, and also let us enjoy the peaceful silence as well. Seeing the kayakers on the river was enjoyable. My only advice would be to wear good shoes with traction. The walk up to the grotto can be a little slippery due to moisture and moss. The entertainment that took place at the destination of the grotto, was really entertaining. Enjoy the ride!

Excellent luau experience, esp with kids!
Reviewed by: Dana, 2023/12/10I specifically booked this luau because I read it was a great experience for kids. We loved the train ride, especially, which is unique to this location. You get to feed the pigs, cows, and horses at a stop along the way! My 2 and 5 year olds loved it. The food was good - lots of variety for different diets - and open bar is awesome!

We have been on other sunset cruises and always could see the sun go in the ocean but we had land block our view. The staff was great and very informative. Snack could be upgraded a little as well. Overall it was fun but not what we thought we signed up for.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
This is a Kauai "Must See"!
Reviewed by: judi, 2023/11/19There are several luaus that take place on the island of Kauai and I am not familiar with the others. Having said that, this show blew me away! I was not expecting such a beautiful, dramatic, outdoor setting, so many different types of dances, and a wonderful history of Hawaiian culture! My mother and I opted for the "show only" experience since we are not big carnivores. The check-in and tram ride were super efficient and helped to set the scene for the big show. As soon as the show started, I knew we'd made the right choice to see the Smith's Family Garden Luau. If you want an amazing experience for a very reasonable price, book this luau when you are in Kauai!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Paddle & Hike
Reviewed by: Conny, 2023/10/31We had a very good time paddling and hiking although the place was very crowdy. Our tourguide had everything under control.
And now I know what people mean when they say the tour is a muddy mess after heavy rain. But this is part of the game and as our tourguide said: „you are going to be wet and muddy anyway“
Aloha Conny,
Thanks for giving us 4 stars even though there was mud.
That said, more mud, means the waterfall will be flowing stronger and impressive.
Glad you enjoyed.
Stay active and well.

Thanks for helping us celebrate 40 years at the "helm"
All our tours, from ocean to rivers often combine some lower and upper body exercise.
And our guides truly love what they do and love sharing their particular brand of aloha.
