Yes during dinner

Yes they have vegan options if you let them know in advance. They have vegetable stir fry with rice that is amazing. You still have the options on the buffet as well. But the sorr fry is plated and brought out to you separately which worked well for me since I'm not a fan of buffet style eating.

Cheaper if you get the package of Fern Grotto and the Luau.

The tables each sat about 12 (I'm not sure of the exact number), but they did reserve tables for large groups or those who needed special accommodations. I'm sure they would figure a way to keep your party together. It's first come seating for all others. The performance is in another area and is fantastic!

You should call the gardens or the tour company proving the ride to confirm. This site is maintained by Google and the plantation isn't likely to see your request for info.

Yes, it is informal

We are currently doing some projects in the gardens while the travel restrictions to the islands are in effect. We hope to reopen the gardens in November, but may open a couple days a week in October, depending on our project progress. Mahalo.

The cruise ship port at Nawiliwili is about 7 miles South of our location at the Wailua River Marina. If coming to the luau, transportation is available when making reservations at www.smithskauai.com. $18 per person for the round trip transportation. Luau bus departs ship at 4:30pm and returns after the luau is over, back on board the ship around 9:30pm. Other modes of transport is taxi (about $30 each way) and there are a limited number of Uber and Lyft drivers on the island. Since you're on the island over night, it might be good to rent a car for the day and take in the island sites at your own pace. Aloha!

Aloha... unfortunately, we don't have a luau scheduled when you're on Kauai on the night of January 30. Our luau schedule in January is Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. The ship offers a great luau as one of it's shore excursions or you may check out Roberts Hawaii Shore Excursions https://www.rhshorex.com/kauai/islands-best-luau/. They usually book our family's luau when we're open but in January, they book into the Luau Makaiwa at the Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort. Enjoy your cruise around the Hawaiian Islands!

Like the previous reply stated. I believe it was a family recipe if I recall correctly
