During
the two mile river journey, you’ll hear songs and
stories of ancient Hawaii — like the King’s
Highway, sacred Mount Kapu, and the First Hau Tree. In addition,
guests enjoy learning the hula during a lesson
provided by a young hula dancer. Everyone gets into the act during
the river cruise!
Smith's famous
Wailua River cruise boats are powered by an ingenious rear-engine
system invented by Walter Smith, Sr. The spacious, open-air
boats provide excellent views from
either side during the trip upstream.
The
Wailua River is known as “the only navigable river”
in all Hawaii. The river’s fresh water pours down
from Mt. Wai‘ale‘ale, one of the wettest spots on
the planet. Lands along the river were the sacred capital of ancient
Kauai and the birthplace of the island’s ali‘i, or
royalty.
At the
Fern Grotto landing, you’ll enjoy a short
nature walk through the rainforest to the lush Fern Grotto.
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.
The
entire tour takes one hour and 20 minutes round-trip. Boat tours
depart daily from the Wailua Marina State Park.
