Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Smith Family Luau
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/03/17This was a great luau -- more than we had hoped for, considering we thought the luau we attended on Maui was going to be best out there (it turned out to be a tie). The Smith family certainly knows how to treat its guests. Not only did you get a wonderful tram ride around the estate (to check out the beautiful peacocks and lush landscape), you got a great meal followed by a wonderful show. We were very impressed.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Good end of the day entertainment
Reviewed by: Sue, 2008/03/12we spent the day kayaking the Wailua River and this was the perfect cap on a perfect day. The gardens are lovely, the luau food I assume is typical for luau food, which isn't exactly to mainland tastes, but we didn't really go for the food anyway. It was delightfully entertaining, with lovely dancing. It was my first luau so I don't have much to compare it to, but had heard about this one, so we tried it. I would recommend it to anyone, it is a good value for the moneye.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Kamika Smith
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/03/02The Luau at Smith's Tropical Paradise was very nice. I was impressed with the multitude of talents on display by the staff, such as Kamika Smith managing, cracking jokes, singing, and even serving coffee - he seemed to be everywhere. My wife, her mother and I really enjoyed the food, music and show. It was a very pleasant evening.
The one thing I would say had room for improvement was the mai tai punch - it was 1 or 2 % abv at most, 4 or 5 % abv would have been better.
We would be happy to return next time we are on Kauai. Overall our trip was a lot of fun and very relaxing - just what we needed.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch
5-star!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/02/27We took this tour on our honeymoon in Kauai, and we are so glad that we did. Not only it was fun but also very historical and educational. What a great way to learn and view the island that you do not see in a guidebook! We will come back with our kids (hopefully) in the future! Thank you for everything!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Smith's Family Luau
Reviewed by: TheTexas Nicholas', 2008/02/19WHAT A TREAT!! We went to the Luau after visiting the Fern Grotto and had the perfect ending to a perfect day! We had a lei greeting then boarded the tram that took us along the winding path so we could see the beautiful gardens, lush tropical trees, lovely scenery. After walking around the grounds, we all gathered at the in-ground oven to view the digging up of the roasted Imu (pig). Then everyone went to the lovely dining area where we all enjoyed tropical drinks and the delicious feast. During dinner, Hawaiian entertainers performed traditional Hawaiian music, singing, and hulas. Children were invited onstage to learn the hulas so it was great fun to watch!! Following the feast, everyone went to the grand outdoor theater to witness the torch lighting and a spectacular Polynesian music production where each of the Islands presented dramatic traditional hulas and music. It is great family fun, not to be missed!!

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Good Family Fun
Reviewed by: The Nicholas', 2008/02/19As first-timers to the Fern Grotto, my husband and I had a great time!The boat ride, hula instruction, music, and entertainment were typically Hawaiian, which is just what we wanted to experience! We took the 3:30 Fern Grotto trip so we could follow it up with the Smith's Family Luau (in the same location). The Luau cuisine was great followed by a spectacular music production professionally presented providing us with a greater understanding of the traditions and heritage of the Polynesian culture. WHAT A SHOW! We recommend BOTH of these for your family and friends. You will not be disappointed!!

Fern Grotto
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/01/29We enjoyed the cruise and the beautiful flowers and foliage but were disappointed at the actual "Grotto" since we couldn't see inside the cave. We weren't aware of this until we were at the site.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Beautiful grounds and good food!
Reviewed by: Michelle, 2008/01/29We had a fabulous time here at the Luau! The food was really good, especially in comparison the luau at the Polynesian Center on Oahu. However, the show wasn't as good as the Poly center. You can also walk the grounds before the luau and then see them dig up the pig for dinner. The grounds were gorgeous. We even got to see a runaway pig! He somehow snuck out of the pen and they hadn't been able to catch him. The Flora all around the gardens were just magnificent! Definitely a must see!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Untitled
Reviewed by: bushes, 2008/01/26First I would recommend paying the extra $5 to go into the Gardens early. You will want to spend more time looking around than the time after the tram ride permits since it is so beautiful. The welcome was great and the tram ride was a treat and the setting for the dancing was gorgeous. I've never been to a luau before so I don't know how it compares to others, but we thouroughly enjoyed it. The dinner portion felt like a wedding reception and it was fun to have an opportunity to learn the hula.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Best Luau
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/01/07I can not say one bad thing about Smith's Luau. Everything they did was above average. The tour of their tropical paradise was wonderful. The imu was authentic and they do a wonderful job of making it special. The food was amazing, especially the pork, mahi mahi, and the rice pudding. The entertainment during the meal was fantastic and really got the crowd involved. Last the show was probably the best part. It was an amazing experience and probably one of our favorite experiences while we were on Kauai and definitely the best value.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch
Tubing was a blast!
Reviewed by: J.Christy, 2007/11/16This was our second trip to Kauai and my wife and I were married on Hanalei Bay. We were looking for something new and exciting and decided to try the mountain tubing adventure. It was the best time, more fun than a water park ride! We would bounce off the walls and spin around and at times splash down a drop- off and get wet. Going through the hand dug tunnels was an experience, especially when we turned the lights off on our helmets. We had a blast and would definitely recommend this activity to anyone. It was very safe and the guides were informative. Lunch was good but the swimming area did not look too inviting for swimming, in November the water was cold.
Overall a must for anyone who visits Kauai.

Great Service
Reviewed by: Cathi, 2007/11/05The people who run Smith's are GREAT! They are very thoughtful and they make the whole night worth it. The servers went out of their way to help us with my husband's disability issues. They have great food and plenty of it! You will not go away hungry. The show was teriffic.
We were very happy that we went and will go back another time in the future. If you have a large party you can reserve your table space in advance.

Great Luau
Reviewed by: Sin, 2007/10/24I have been to Hawaii 3 times now, and gone to a different luau each time. I have to say Smith's was the best one yet. The grounds are beautiful with plenty to see and lots of photo oppotunities. The food was great with friendly, prompt staff, and the show was spectacular. Smith's Luau is a must!
