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

Fern Grotto River Ride

Reviewed by: Barbara

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.

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

Good Family Fun

Reviewed by: The Nicholas'

As 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!!

Great Family Experience

Reviewed by: Sherminator

Our family loves the Smith's Family Luau--the gardens are beautiful, the food is excellent & the Smith Family is so nice. This was our 2nd time at this luau & we enjoyed it as much as the 1st. I highly recommend doing the fern grotto cruise & then the luau right after. This was a wonderful family experience!!

Handicap Access

Reviewed by: Mrs. Harless

The trip was listed as a short, rugged walk, but is handicap accessible. I would have liked this information ahead of time, as walking on concrete is very painful for me, and I would have taken my scooter if I had known there was a paved walk way. I would like to go again sometime, when the ferns have recovered from the damage of the 2006 Hurricane. Cruise was informative, entertaining and fun!

Smith Family Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We enjoyed our experience at the luau. The food was very good and they were very experienced at moving a big crowd through efficiently. It was great having the Hawaiian music during dinner. The show was pretty good. We did enjoy it, but it doesn't quite compare to the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, which is the best. This one was good, and it tried to have different islands represented, but the numbers were all very similar to each other. Loved the fire and volcano and the dragon. It was an enjoyable evening for our family.

Fern Grotto Boat Ride

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Our family enjoyed this short boat ride to the Fern Grotto. The Grotto itself has changed since our last trip to Kaua'i. Sit on the left side of the boat while it is at the dock (which will then be the right side going up the river). That way you can see most of the sights the guide points out on the way to the Fern Grotto. It was informative, especially for first timers. Next trip, we will probably kayak up to the Grotto.

Beautiful Time

Reviewed by: Linda and Family

Smith's Luau was a wonderful experience for us. I brought my daughter and 3 grandsons ages 9, 10, and 12, and we all enjoyed it. The grounds are perfect, the staff is very professional, and the show was excellent. The food was great, it was the best pig I have ever eaten. When I go back to Kauai, I will definately go back for another of the Smiths' Family Luau. Thanks for having us and sharing your beautiful grounds with us.

Smith Luau Extraordinary

Reviewed by: Brad McRee

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.

The whole experience at the luau was awesome. The food was great and the entertainment was awesome. Smith's has done a great job, of all the things we did and saw this is the one that stands out the most. We would do this over and over. Plus, they took a great picture of our group of 10.

Reviewed by: Sin

I 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!

Good end of the day entertainment

Reviewed by: Sue

we 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.

This is the second time I have taken this cruise, and I remember it being better before. Granted, part of the reason is not being able to go up to the actual Fern Grotto (one was able to walk through it before). It is a very pretty site, but I'm not sure that it is worth the price.

I have been to the Smith's Luau many times as a couple and with family and friends over the years. As a child I went to the Fern Grotto with members of the Smith family on their private boat long before it became commercialized. I highly recommend these activities to anyone. The entire family makes everyone feel a personalized welcome and are anxious to make your occasion very special.

Smith Family Luau

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This 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.
