Enjoyed it, but the Moai is gone for refurb. Chickens, ducks, peafowl and some beautiful vegetation. Worth the price of admission to see the gardens, did not do the shows. Full review by 595bobbyh

I assume you are talking about the Smith Family Luau. Their website states this..... NCL – Pride of America Guests Your ship is usually scheduled to overnight on Kauai on Thursday night. We operate our family’s luau on “ship nights” from February through October. Transportation from Pride of America is available for the luau at a cost of $14 per person. Choose “Pride of America” when booking your reservation to make the transportation option available. Taxi fare is approximately $25 - $30 each way. Accommodations: Where are you staying on Kauai? Hotel, Condo, Ship? If our shuttle transportation is available from your location, an option will be made available after choosing your hotel. Choose “Transportation” if you'd like the shuttle. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So... go to their website and make a reservation to find out when they will pick you up. Since they give you a tour of their grounds before the luau, you will be brought to the grounds about an hour before the luau. If you allow for the transportation time, you can guess that you will be picked up about 2 hours before the luau, which is what happened to us. We were staying at a condo hotel in Kapaa area. Their website is easy to find but I cannot put it in this post.
Q:
Is there a shuttle or bus service available?
A:
Yes there is - they will pick you up from your hotel/time share for a fee.
Q:
i read that the fern grotto had been badly damaged by a hurricaine is this still the case ?

It was damaged years ago but has recovered for the most part. Still worth seeing. Check out the white bird of paradise trees as well.
