The Smith Family Garden Luau invites you to enjoy a Hawaiian luau set in a torch-lit lagoon amphitheater overlooking the Wailua River, the longest navigable river in Hawaii. This Kauai luau includes cultural demonstrations, a delicious luau feast and a spectacular Polynesian show.
After a warm welcome, you have the option of taking a narrated tram tour or strolling through the lush 30-acre gardens. Then, witness the traditional imu ceremony, in which the kalua roast pig is taken out from its earthen imu oven. After that, the luau dinner features a wide variety of island delicacies, as well as an open bar. Finally, after dinner, sit back and enjoy music and dances from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand, the Philippines and Japan.
Overall, the Smith Family Garden Luau is a great choice for guests who want a classic garden luau experience on Kauai. In addition, the setting offers a relaxed way to enjoy tropical scenery, Hawaiian traditions, dinner and live entertainment in one evening. For more island options, you can also compare other Kauai luaus.
