Take an enchanting cruise on Hawaii's only navigable river to Kauai's magical Fern Grotto. Enjoy Hawiian history, flora and music along the way. The river winds its way through dense, tropical flora and past areas rich in the history and legends of old Hawaii before arriving at the famous Fern Grotto itself, a lava rock grotto covered with ferns.
Wailua River - The only navigable river in Hawaii!
The Wailua area itself was once royal grounds in the olden days, and boat operators will share their fascinating stories while family members entertain guests with Hawaiian songs. The destination of the cruise is the famous Fern Grotto, a lava rock grotto covered with tropical ferns. At the grotto, you will be serenaded by Hawaiian musicians playing traditional, local songs. In this beautiful, tropical jungle setting, nature has formed a natural amphitheatre with acoustics that are remarkable.

We enjoyed the entertainment on the way down, but could have used a little more narration on sites.

Let people know there is a free shuttle to Smiths Marina (where the river cruise leaves from)at the shopping area. All you have to do is call them and they will come and get you and take you back. The shuttle driver was GREAT!
