Fern Grotto Boat Tour
AttractionWailua River, ~10 min from LihueCulturalScenicFamily Fun
A classic Kauai experience: a leisurely riverboat ride up the navigable Wailua River to the famous Fern Grotto — a natural lava rock amphitheater covered in hanging ferns that is a beloved wedding venue. Local musicians aboard the boat serenade passengers with Hawaiian songs, and hula dancers perform at the grotto.
Tip: Smith's Motor Boat Service is the only licensed operator. The tour includes a Hawaiian music and hula performance at the grotto. A perfect activity for all ages, including seniors and young children.
