Are you a fan of Kalua pig, teriyaki beef, sweet and sour mahimahi, chicken adobo, and other luau foods? Don’t you wish you could visit a place that had an all-you-can-eat buffet, serving hot, sizzling plates of traditional island favorites? And wouldn’t it be great if all of that wonderful food came with a show?

Here on Kauai, we have just the thing for those who want to enjoy live music, free drinks, great food, and a Polynesian performance. The Smith Family Garden Luau is open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 5-9pm and it is a popular place for tourists. While there, you can receive a tour of the botanical gardens, enjoy the unearthing of the roasted pig at an Imu Ceremony, listen to the stimulating sounds of live musicians playing Hawaiian and contemporary tunes, and eat and drink to your heart’s content. Then the evening truly begins.

The Smith family luau is a unique luau, pulling in influences from both Hawaii and some Asian cultures. The dances are spectacular and the performers are the best. And while the Smith family hasn’t always lived on the island, four generations of Smiths have run the family business here and have made it their own.

Now, if you want to visit the luau, it will cost you. With an open bar and food buffet, the cost is higher than a typical luau. But the extra expense is well worth it. You can make reservations for a performance on their website and enjoy night life of Kauai in style at the garden.
