Smith's Garden Luau Show Only Package on Kauai
Smith's Garden Luau Show Only Package is made for nights when you want the performance without the full luau dinner. You arrive after the meal portion and take your seat for the evening show at Smith’s Tropical Paradise in Wailua.
This option keeps the night simple: no buffet, no full luau schedule, just the Rhythms of Aloha show in the open-air Pele Amphitheater. It can be a good choice if you already have dinner plans, want a shorter evening, or mainly want to see the music, dance and stage performance.
The show brings together performances from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand, the Philippines and Japan. The torch-lit amphitheater setting, garden surroundings and erupting volcano feature give the evening a classic Kauai show atmosphere without committing to the full dinner luau.
Rhythms of Aloha Evening Show
Rhythms of Aloha is the show portion of Smith’s Garden Luau. You can expect colorful costumes, live music, hula, Polynesian dance and cultural performances from across the Pacific, all presented in the outdoor Pele Amphitheater.
Because this is a show-only ticket, dinner is not included. If you want the buffet, garden time and full luau evening, choose the full Smith Family Garden Luau instead.

When This Package Works Best

This package is focused on the performance, so it is best for you if the music, dance, amphitheater setting and cultural show are the main reasons you want to go.
