This was an excellent adventure. A little more about the type of "cruise" would have been helpful on the internet and booking information.

I ordered the lei greeting at the airport for my friend and myself, both first time visitors to Hawai'i. It was a very fun way to begin our visit...
I didn't realize that most of the upscale hotels offer leis free of charge to many / all guests... I could have saved the $$ and just received those leis, but honestly for a first timer, it was really cool to be greeted at the airport!

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.

The scuba diving was fun. I'd recommend for first timers to minimize their trip to just the single tank dive, so they can decide if it is really something they would like. It does get tiring fairly quickly, so a single trip, while it may seem short, is more than enough for the first time. I'd recommend also going straight to the Sheraton reef where you are GUARANTEED to see at least a few sea turtles and get some great pictures. It takes a while to acclimate to the undersea pressure, so if you have the slightest hint of a cold don't go! Seriously, your ears will thank you! I had a headache and trouble hearing for days after my dive. Small price to pay for what I got to see, but you might take some extra vitamins the few days up to your dive, just in case.

The food was very good. I have seen shows at other luaus that I enjoyed more. This show seems to be family members and I prefer the shows that seek the best talent.

Kauai to Oahu & Pearl Harbor
I liked the Arizona tour, but I thought that the park dept could do more to explain the details of the Memorial to us younger folks who do not know about the detailed History of what happened and why it happened, other than the movie. Kids today do not like reading. IE: when we went to Kileau, we had a Park ranger, Jason Zimmer, explain to us in detail what was there, very informative. Also we would have liked to see Diamond Head, they say if time allows, but we wasted to much time driving around Waikiki.

The cruise was short but sufficient for the price. I recommend taking the 3:30 cruise and then going to the Smith Luau right beside the docks. Excellent site and entertainment and also worth the price.

WOW! This all day activity was one of the highlights of our Kauai family vacation! A little bit of everything. Beautiful scenery, great variety of information from the guides (nature and entertainment-wise), lots of fun. Especially enjoyed the kayaking, hike and swims. We would definitely do this again. (Family of 4 - 2 teen-aged girls).

Chad our pilot with Blue Hawaiian provided us a great tour of Kauai. He was knowledgeable, personable, and most importantly a safe helicopter pilot. The tens of 3000ft waterfalls around Mt. Waialeale and the Na Pali coast were awesome! This was certainly one of the highlights of my Hawaiian vacation.

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau. The snorkeling was the best that we have ever seen- clear blue water, lots of fish and plenty of time to snorkel. The colors of the water were incomparable- sapphire blue, azure, teal,aquamarine and garnet green-spectacular. The service and the crew were great- they really knew all about the islands and they were experts on snorkeling.
We would go again in a heartbeat!!

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.

The captain and his crew were great. They did everything to ensure that we had a pleasurable time. The Na pali coast is incredible. Trip was good for all ages. The water can be rough, so beware if you are prone to seasickness. Only problem was hawaii activities gave us the wrong checkin time. We sat around for 1/2 hour waiting for the checkin. Also the cruise ended alot later then
we had anticipated. But in the big scheme of things , no big deal.
