Quote: The Luau was good, food and drinks plentiful and tasty, Maitais were a little watered down I think but not bad. The PinaColadas from the open bar were not watered down. Our tram tour of the garden was a little disappointing but hearing the... Read the full Smith Family Luau review

Quote: Everything from the all-you-can-drink mai tai's to the excellent Kauai roast pig, everything was amazing, would definitely recommend it.Also the lush botanical gardens, and all the animals definitely added to the authentic atmosphere.

Luau is a Bust

  • February 9, 2008
Quote: The food was sub-par. It was equivalent to something found at any typical all-you-can-eat buffet. The show was very commercialized and not very authentic – you sit in bleachers watching from afar. The dances were almost an insult to the different... Read the full Smith Family Luau review

Quote: This Smith's Family Luau is the ultimate luau experience. I recommend the Fern Grotto Cruise at 3:30pm for just $15 -- it will take you back to the park at 5pm when the luau grounds open. Make sure to park by the luau and walk to the cruise. You... Read the full Smith Family Luau review

Quote: I was looking for an authentic Hawaiian Luau and asked around and they said this was the place, but now I'm not sure they were on the same wavelength as me. I was looking for one somewhat intimate - real grass skirt hula girls and some fun tribal... Read the full Smith Family Luau review
