Smith's Kauai

Smith's Kauai is a family business established by Walter Smith, Sr. and his wife Emily on the Wailua River and Wailua River Valley. It began with a rowboat and borrowed outboard motor and has expanded to include the Fern Grotto Wailua River Cruise, Smith's Tropical Paradise (a 30-acre botanical and cultural garden), Smith's Weddings In Paradise (a wedding site) and the Smith Family Garden Luau. The offerings take place on a 4th generation estate in Wailua Marina State Park, Kauai. Walter "Freckles" Smith II is the proprietor and it is known for its kalua pork luau prepared in an imu oven.
