This was really a great experience. My wife and I got to enjoy the flavor of the Island in a relaxed island setting. The food and entertainment were great and the staff made every effort to make us feel welcome. A must do activity.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

A very long night

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/04/07

Arrived a bit before 4:30. Staff was quite rude that we were so early.
Also, everything was dragged out..far too long. Entertainment was too late for our granddaughter to enjoy as she fell asleep.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Everyone Had A Great Time

Reviewed by: H Baxter, 2009/02/24

We highly recommend this luau - the whole family from age 7 to age 75 enjoyed it. The food was awesome, the gardens were beautiful and the dancing was amazing. I love that this is a family run business, and you can tell that they all really invest their time and care into every detail. Even grandpa Smith was out in the food line making sure the buffet was tidy and fresh. I was really impressed by the quality of the dancers! Some might say, though, that this is a bit on the "schmaltzy" side - it might not have the cosmopolitan feel of some of the other luaus, I certainly wouldn't say it was a romantic or upscale sort of thing - but I liked the old-time feel of it. Also, don't rush to get there, we arrived at the very beginning and took the tram ride through the gardens - then waited about an hour for the entertainment and refreshments to start.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment

A lovely way to see the river

Reviewed by: HBaxter, 2009/02/22

We enjoyed this lazy trip down the river and learned a lot about the river on the way from the captain. The fern grotto was beautiful, though not quite as lush as it had once been (so don't expect it to look like the postcards you see! I guess the hurricanes did some damage). The entertainment at the grotto was also lovely - hearing the traditional Hawaiian wedding song (in Hawaiian) with beautiful harmonies was enchanting. I also love that this is a family run business, putting money back into the traditions of Hawaii and the families that reside there. We took our seven year old boy and nine year old girl, and grandma, and everyone enjoyed the trip.

Fern Grotto Trip

Reviewed by: Betty Kaszula, 2009/02/14

This is the first time we took the boat trip up the river. I was impressed with the family involvement in every aspect of the luau and boat tour. They are very gracious people and must answer the same questions thousands of times yet they show an interest each time to make everyone feel special and not like some

Smith's Luau & Fern Grotto Tour

Reviewed by: Betty Kaszula, 2009/02/14

The Smith's Luau is the best on Kauai. They have lovely grounds to tour, the emu ceremony is great. We have been to this before and I would recommend it to everyone. The tour up the river to the Fern Grotto was great. The people running these tours are well versed in the history and knowledge they share with guests. They make everyone feel special!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Absolutely the BEST Luau anywhere!

Reviewed by: Perscon, 2009/02/10

I've lived in Hawaii and returned for many occasions, and Smith's Luau is absolutely the BEST Luau on any island at any price! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, the staff was very friendly and outgoing, the food was absolutely the best and there was plenty of it! Open mai-tai bar was a great value, dinner entertainment was fun but not overwhelming and the show afterward was a great Luau value. The thing that impressed me the most was Mr Smith, the owner, was available, visible and active in every part of the evening, from un-earthing the pig to singing and entertaining at dinner. I would HIGHLY recommend this event for anyone who visits Kauai - you WON'T be disappointed!

This is actually the 3rd or 4th time we have attended a Smith's Luau. We always take newcomers here. They all expect a Luau. It is the best one on Kauai and we would strongly recommend it.

We loved the tram ride, beautiful grounds with peacocks and more, the great food at the luau, friendly people, a wonderful show! The covered pavilions made it pleasant! It was nice to have our picture taken and available for purchase. We liked having the luau in one place and the show in another. Wear mosquito repellent!

This cruise is great for older people who are not able to walk very well - the staff is very friendly, the entertainment is fun and relaxing, the river is beautiful, and the walk to the Fern Grotto was very nice also. We did this before going to the luau at Smith's. It was a wonderful combination!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Great Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/09/27

We have attended other Luaus on Kauai, but this Luau exceeded all expectations. The grounds are beautiful, the food was great and the service was outstanding. There was plenty of food and drink (all you can eat/drink) and it was all delicious! The Smith family and their associates are warm, friendly and genuine. One note of caution to those with young children - the show does not begin until after dinner is over, so this could make for a long night for some little ones. My two sons (3 years and 4 months) did well and enjoyed the show, but were definitely getting a little tired toward the end. Overall, I would highly recommend this luau.

Smith Luau Extraordinary

Reviewed by: Brad McRee, 2008/07/08

The Smith Luau was an overall extraordinary experience and great value. The evening begins with a tram or walking tour of Smith's Tropical Paradise. The grounds include a wide variety of birds and fish, and labelled foliage. The luau was in a covered open-air pavillion, and preceded by giving thanks for the food and asking God's blessings. The luau was served buffet style, including fish, pork, chicken and beef dishes, and a wide variety of vegetables and desserts. While eating, we were serenaded by a live band, playing traditional Hawaiian music. Following the luau, we moved to a covered open-air amphitheater for a live show, including segments depicting the many cultures of the Hawaiian islands. The staff was genuinely courteous and kind. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and is highly recommended.

Fern Grotto River Ride

Reviewed by: Barbara, 2008/05/22

We loved this tour. The ride up the river was informative and absolutely beautiful. Walking the Grotto was amazing. So many types of plants. You will be amazed. Be sure to walk through slowly. Look at every flower and in between leaves so you don't miss the giant bumble bees or the beautiful birds. Some people walked too quickly and missed these wonders of nature.

The ride back was pleasant with the staff playing music and dancing. They were great guides and great people. One of the guides walked slowly with us and told us all about the different plants and what the natives used these plants for. Super informative. I felt sorry for those who didn't take the time to listen to his wealth of knowledge.
