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

Beautiful experience

Reviewed by: Irene M

We were originally not going to attend a luau but decided last minute to do so as this was recommended by locals as a must do experience. The family and staff were wonderful, absolutely loved talking to the Aunties. The food was good with a variety to choose from. The show incorporated different dances representing the different backgrounds in Hawaiian culture in addition to the Polynesian beginnings. The gardens were beautiful. Definitely recommend this luau as you get not just food and a show but a chance to walk through the gardens with a tram tour to start and also to talk to the friendly staff. They all have such wonderful stories and experiences to share!

  • Too much food to choose from but must have the kalua pork!

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

Fabulous Luau on Kauai

Reviewed by: Kim in PA

Our only opportunity for a Luau was on Kauai when our ship overnighted. This was an excellent choice. Optional transportation from cruise ship, be prepared for long lines, was a great add on. You arrive in plenty of time to explore all the gardens with time to spare before the Imu Ceremony. Lots of time to find a seat in the pavilion before your table is invited to the buffet line. After you are done eating, make your way to the theater to get a good seat for the show. It's a good show, but goes on a bit too long. Make your way back to the parking lot to board your bus for the short ride back to the cruise terminal.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

FUN from beginning to end, so glad we did it!

Reviewed by: Kim in PA

It was a torrential rain storm when we arrived at their location to check in for our Mountain Tubing Adventure at Kauai Backcountry Adventures. All through getting outfitted and the bus ride to the put in spot, it poured. Once we arrived and stored our belonging, as we about to get into the tubes, the heavens parted, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Staff is friendly and helpful. They do a good job of going over everything you need to know to enjoy and be safe along with what to expect. Their website also did a good job of preparing us for what to expect. We were 2 among 20 in our group and we were all laughing and enjoying the water, the ditch and the company. They take pictures along the way that you can later purchase. Everything about this tour from start to finish was awesome. It was too wet to picnic at the spot so they took us back to their warehouse which worked out great for us. Our guides, Johnny and Ryan were knowledgeable, professional and fun.
If you are looking for a unique thing to do on Kauai, this is it!

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition

My favorite adventure in Kauai

Reviewed by: Erica

I’m not the most in shape person so at first I was nervous about this adventure. I chose a ride with a guide with my husband and it was a great decision. Our guide was incredible and I felt totally comfortable and was able to enjoy everything. I’m so happy I did this adventure and it was a ton of fun, great scenery and a good pace. I highly recommend!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Such a neat tour!

Reviewed by: Ashton

My friend and I had a blast on this tour! It was so cool getting to tube through the different tunnels and getting to see some of them by only the flashlight that's on the helmet that they give you. Our guides even had us turn off our lights for one so we went through it in the complete dark which was really cool! The sandwiches they provided were really good and we had two amazing guides that made it so much fun for everyone!

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

Great night full of delicious food and a fun show

Reviewed by: Ashton

The gardens here are so beautiful and I loved getting the time to be able to walk around at our own pace after taking the tram around before the events started. Getting to see the Imu ceremony was one of the best parts to me, it was very neat to be able to see how they cook the pig! The food was delicious and they had a nice variety to choose from and the fire knife portion of the show was amazing! We had a great time.

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

Best Luau!

Reviewed by: MikeC

This was our third time attending the Smith Luau.
The whole venue/event is first class starting with the tour of the beautiful grounds and gardens.
That is followed by the ceremony of removing the pig from the cooking pit and the history surrounding that.
After a short break, its time for the luau buffet which has incredible salads, pork, chicken, etc... and an open bar with a nice selection of drinks available and their mai tais, of course.
During the buffet, there is live entertainment on a stage for all to see. If you're lucky, Kameka Smith will be there and he is very entertaining and has a pretty darn good voice.
After the buffet, everyone walks to an outdoor stage and is treated to an hour plus long theatrical production featuring fire, drummers, dancers, live music and a historical narration of the origins and history surrounding Hawaii. The show alone is worth going for, but throw in the gardens, the delicious food, constant entertainment and its the BEST.

PS - Don't forget to say hello to Auntie Cecilia. She met Elvis 4 times!

Reviewed by: Judy

The entire evening was so great because we had time to relax on the beautiful grounds and take pictures before dinner. The dinner was first class with so much food. The employees were so attentive and spoke to us often. The entertainment is of course very professional. This is a treasure to have these traditions kept alive. Thank you so much. We were sad when it ended.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Great adventure for all ages!

Reviewed by: Anna

Dustin did a great job interacting with all of us and we were a very diverse group (age, gender and skill level)!

He was very knowledgeable of Hawaiian culture. We also learned a lot about the plants and animals of the area. Beware of the wild boar. ;-)

The hike was muddy but not too difficult. The waterfall was spectacular and much colder than expected.

Would definitely do this again! The morning is cooler and may be drier than the afternoon.

Reviewed by: Bethany Matlock

First off let me say our tour guide Rosario was fantastic!!! He gave us such a great history lesson and for us that's everything because we love history. He also has a great sense of humor. The places we got to see were pretty great as well. Waimea Canyon is gorgeous and you must see in person as photos do not do it justice. All the little stops along the way were fun. We discovered Poipu on this trip and we love it there. We will stay there next time we are on Kauai. All in all a great time, highly recommend!!!

We have been many times to this luau. We enjoy it every time. Food is good, and if you don’t get full it’s your fault. Plenty of alcohol too. Every thing included in price. You learn a little history at the show.
The Smith family is very attentive. They are the definition of Aloha!
