Top 10 Concerts & Shows in Kauai, Hawaii (HI)

February 6, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Relaxing and pristine Kauai (the Garden Island) is the least commercially developed of the Hawaiian islands. Waterfalls, scenic drives and more than 60 beaches dot the landscape. Some beaches have great snorkeling, others offer child-friendly tidal pools and some are perfect for all kinds of water sports. Dry-land activities include hiking the Kalalau Trail on the Na Pali coastline, taking a day trip to Waimea Canyon and experiencing life on a sugar plantation at Grove Farm Homestead Museum.

After attending a big production luau and fire show at a prominent Hotel 2 days before this local family-run presentation was so much more authentic and creative and personal then I could have imagined. Don't be fooled by the modest surroundings . I would highly recommend that anyone looking for authenticity and presentation true to the culture, attend this wonderful show. The lead storyteller, was engaging and funny as well as informative. My friends and I agree we would would definitely go back for an encore!

We were there for a luau and songs honoring Kauaʻi's last king, Kaumualiʻi. It was an awesome show. We walked away with so much more knowledge of the island and everyone we met was so kind. We feel very honored to have been apart of something so authentic and real. Thank you for a great memory and congrats on an amazing show.

Smith Family Garden Luau

Reviewed By askinstr - Virginia Beach, United States

Truly a wonderful experience that combines beautiful gardens (including many peacocks and "Hawaiian chickens", an interesting imu ceremony, delicious food accompanied by lovely music, followed by a fascinating sound/light/music show. Great experience for couples and families. Open at 5 PM, visitors can take a tram or walk through the gardens prior to the informative and delightful imu ceremony. The food/drinks were great and unlimited. Smith Family musicians provided music during the dinner. The hourlong show started at 8 PM and combined a fascinating combination of delightful experiences. Throughout, one feels welcomed and valued for attending. One of the highlights of our 2+ week trip to the Hawaiian Islands.

I have been to a few luau's. This one at Koloa Plantation was tops. It had a classy, stylish feel. The view to the stage was great anywhere in the room - unlike many luaus. The food was excellent. I would have liked more veggies, as my vegetarian niece was a bit pressed to have a tasty meal, but the meats were excellent. Since the show is the other half of why one attends - I must say it was wonderful. Presented a bit more like a play or stage production, the story line was interesting, the costumes and lighting wonderful and the fire dancing (fire poi) was over the top. The fire portion which was about 10 minutes, really made the show stand out. The hula was more limited and less authentic overall, but it was a great show!

This was our first luau and I knew it wasn't the traditional sit on the beach and watch a show affair. This was spectacular! The Marriott courtyard was a beautiful venue. The quality of the performances was outstanding. I was amazed at the talent and storytelling that accompanied every segment. You could tell the dancers were performing because they are proud of their heritage and wanted to share it with the audience. I would absolutely recommend!
