Overview

Take a leisurely cruise down the Wailua River to the botanical beauty of the Fern Grotto. Wailua River is known as "the only navigable river" in all Hawaii. The rivers fresh water pours from the Mt. Wai'ale'ale, one of the wettest spots on the plant.Lands along the river were the sacred capital of ancient Kauai and the birth place of the island's ali'i, or royalty. During the two mile river journey, you'll hear songs and stories of ancient Hawaii and enjoy learning the hula during a lesson provided by a young hula dancer. The Fern Grotto is a geological wonder of Kauai. Ferns grow upside down from the roof of the grotto, which was formed millions of years ago. Native Hawaiian plants and colorful exotic tropical plants provide a rain-forest atmosphere. A visit to the overlook at Opaekaa Falls , the most accessible waterfall on the island, will secure your love of Kauai, our garden island.

Mellow, easy going tour of the river and Fern Grotto. I would recommend it. Easy to book, very helpful staff to guide where to meet up.

Hawaiian heaven

Published on Dec, 2024

The boat ride was lovely and the Hawaiian songs and dancers were awesome. We were the last trip of the day on Thanksgiving and staff were anxious to get home. No one can have a bad time on this excursion.

Beautiful relaxing cruise up the river. Reminded me a lot of my home state of MN. Our pilot gave a lot of good information, also enjoyed some fun interactive music with the singers/dancer. The grotto was beautiful!

The whole experience was great, from the time we were picked up at the dock till we returned. The Smith Family was so friendly and kind. The walk to the Fern Grotto was a nice walk and the performance at the grotto was really cool. I would recommend this trip to everyone, it was a must see!
