The torches are lit, the night is filled with music, and family members gather to bring you a casual, relaxing and romantic dining experience that starts off with the Imu Ceremony – the unearthing of the traditional pig, cooked to perfection in an underground oven…..and thirst-quenching tropical cocktails are served inside the luau hale. The luau meal features traditional luau favorites, tropical fruit and a special Hawaiian dessert table Hawaiian musicians serenade dinners during the luau meal. Young members of the family take the stage during the entertainment, and even invite guests up on stage for a hula lesson! The International Pageant depicts dances and songs from Tahiti, Hawaii, China, Japan, the Philippines, New Zealand and Samoa.
Start your evening early with a beautiful trip up the Wailua River to the Fern Grotto. Smith’s Motor Boats is located conveniently on the grounds of the Smith Family Luau. Book separately on website.

We love this Luau. We have been to Kauai two times and have done this Luau both times. This time we took two friends from Washington State that were in Kauai at the same time we were. They enjoyed it so much that they took their friends that arrived a week later and their daughter and son-in-law and their 3 kids who arrived a few days later. We enjoyed it more this time than we did the first time and will go to it again on our next trip to Kauai. truly the best Luau on Kauai.
Mahalo,
Marcy and Scott
Aloha Marcy & Scott. So very happy you enjoyed the Smith Luau. Let us know when you return to Kauai. We’d love to be of help to you again.
Another great tour on your beautiful island.
The grounds were magnificient and we did so enjoy the beautiful peacocks. We had the opportunity to take pictures and their full feathers. The show was excellent and the food was good. I’d say it was money well spent.
Thank you Smith Family.
The West Family
Thank you West Family!! Happy your enjoyed your luau experience!! We look forward to helping your plan your next trip to Kauai.
We have been to The Smith Family Luau many times and loved it immensely. I was wondering if it was possible to have the meal only? The food was incredible. The show was fantastic as well, but this time we would rather just do the meal.
Aloha Sara! The Smith Luau does not do the food only, I apologize! Let me know if you are interested in making your reservation for this Luau again. I am happy to hear you have enjoyed it so much, this is a great Luau!
Do children under 3 eat free? Actually, are children under 3 able to attend?
Aloha Cheryl! Yes, children under 3 are able to attend and eat free. Just let us know how many children you have & if you will need a high chair.
If we do this luau is the fern grotto river cruise included or is it a separate tour?
Aloha! Yes the Fern Grotto is separate from the Luau. However there is a 3:30 tour time that works perfectly with the Luau. Call us toll free at 1-866-897-1637 or fill out an online reservation form. You will find the Fern Grotto under Kauai Ocean & River Tours.
How far ahead of should reservations be made?
Aloha Herb! It is never to early to book. It is March and I have been filling reservations for September already! If you can pick a date I say go ahead and make your reservation, with our 72 hour cancellation policy your deposit is protected in case of any travel changes.
If I have only the capacity to eat 5-6 onces of food due to surgery, would I be allowed to be admitted for the child’s price? I do have a physican card requesting this as well?
I am very disappointed your luau will be dark on Thursday evenings, during the fall and winter, when Pride of America I s docked on he island. I know I am not the only one. Have you ever reconsidered the Thursday closing to accomodate the large number of Pride of America guest.
I’m on a salt reduction diet due to having an Aortic Valve Replacement, therefore I am wondering what’s the sodium content in the food at the luau. Thank you for the information.
Is this luau available on Thursday March 7, 2024?
Can’t say enough good things about Kami and his family. Luau is fantastic, Uncle Freckles is absolutely the best at welcoming guests. Hope to see you again soon!!
