Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch
Great way to spend tie in Hawaii
Reviewed by: Chuck Patterson
My wife and I had a blast. The scenery was beautiful the tubing was excellent and the tour guides looked like they were having as much fun as we were. I can't recommend this enough. Do yourself a favor and do this tour.

The tour guides were awesome! Made the whole experience 10X better. The float wasn’t difficult but adventurous. Kids (teenagers) smiled the whole time. Beautiful scenery! A little pricey but 100% glad we did the float!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch
Bucket list experience!
Reviewed by: Lauren W.
This tour was so fun and unique! You float through such beautiful scenery and into dark tunnels with headlamps. In between most tunnels you are back outside floating under beautiful trees. The guides are amazing and literally get out of their tubes and stand in the water to make sure everyone gets through each area safe. The water is not deep and you’ll feel safe. If you’re considering doing this tour, just DO IT! You won’t regret it.

Great all around adventure!
Reviewed by: SteveW
The experience was really great from start to finish. We had an opportunity to see parts of Kauai we would never otherwise see and learn about the history of the area and the modern effort to conserve.
Our guides were amazing, the tube ride was mostly gentle and relaxing (except for the one stretch of 36 inch vertical drop!). The water is fresh and invigorating, really pleasant on a warm fall day.
Do yourself a favor and take this don't miss adventure.

We were a party of 7 ranging from 5 to 70. What an amazing experience. Great history knowledge. Great and friendly people. So much fun. Be prepared to make new friends and enjoy the Ohana of this wonderful group of people. Maka, Lucky, Hans, & so many others made this day a core memory for our family! The scenery is amazing. The tubing exceptional! Would do it again in a heart beat!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
colorful, lively, exciting show
Reviewed by: Ellen
We saw the show only and loved it! The dancing was exciting and engaging. the costumes were beautiful. The fire show at the end was worth waiting for! We sat in the front row. All the seats have a great view and are very comfortable in an outdoor theatre shielded by a roof. If you get to the parking lot before sunset, you will see thousands of parrots searching for the ideal tree to sleep in and making lots of noise with their murmurations. If there is road work on the main highway, try to park closer to the Marina where the barge leaves or you might get stuck waiting 20 minutes with 200 other cars until the road crew reopens the road.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Showcase of cultural diversity with positive role models on an amazing property
Reviewed by: mromines
Smith's Garden facilities were very nice and the atmosphere was wonderful. The show was different than Luau's I have seen before.
This show was a showcase of dance routines representing the different migrant groups that arrived in Hawaii. It was a show that my tween most prefered and really enjoyed. Smith's keeps in line with providing an authentic array of cast members, which makes Hawaiian preformances stand ahead from those on the mainland. You will see dancers of all ages and women of all sizes represented. It is not only important for young ones to see a variety of people represented but watching people who don't look like a barbie blowing everyone out of the water is in itself a wonderful experience.
Personally, I like Kalamaku's cohesive Tahitian migration/myth story better. Kalamaku also has a larger male presence which performs at a higher level, which I felt more appealing. That being said, I think Smith's was the right choice for bringing my kid and I appreciate that each show is original. I definitely recommend Smith's luau.

This was such a cool experience & so much fun! Going through the tunnels with headlamps makes it different than any other tubing experience. We loved our guides. Maka & her sister & Kai Nalu. They were all very helpful, informative & made you feel like you were hanging out with friends. Those 3 deserve a nice raise.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar
Fun Night in Kauai!
Reviewed by: Anita
We thoroughly enjoyed the Smith Family Luau! Six adults and a an almost four year old, we all had a great time. The tram ride around the gardens was a nice way to start the evening, we enjoyed hearing the driver talk about the grounds and the tropical plants. We were a bit worried about the number of people in close quarters, but the staff did a good job of metering people as they went up to get their food. Our table, for seven, was actually outside, which was even better. The food was plentiful and everybody found something they liked. The variety of different tropical drinks was fun and easy to get more! The show was exciting, learned a lot about all of the cultures who make up Hawaii. Of course, our little guy LOVED the fire dancing! He said, “the Hawaii party” was the best night ever! If you are in Kauai, as a couple, with friends, or with family, be sure to make a reservation at the Smith Family Luau!

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition
An awesome family adventure!
Reviewed by: Saundra S.
My family had an awesome time on this tour with our guides Ryan and Cousin Giggles! They made sure all drivers felt comfortable behind the wheel of their ATV and made safety a priority. The trails were fun with a great waterfall stop at the end. Only a few people actually got in the water. My husband did and said the rocks were very slick and water very cold but he would jump in again. It rained that morning but the trails were still very dusty in places and there were also large mud puddles. Take clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting bright red dirt on. My teens stated this was one of their favorite activities.

The 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.

Best Luau show deal around!
Reviewed by: JoseP
We 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
This 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!
