Fern Grotto
A natural amphitheater of Hawaiian lava rock, Fern Grotto is a wild-looking lava cave ringed by wild growing ferns on the upper banks of the Wailua River on the eastern side of Kauai. The only way to reach this beautifully exotic location is by way of the Wailua River, the only navigable river in Hawaii, making this trip the only riverboat ride available in the Hawaiian Islands. Once exclusively visited by members of Hawaiian nobility, there are now numerous opportunities to take a boat trip. Leaving every half hour from the Wailua Marina, long flat-bottomed riverboats transport enthusiastic passengers upriver to Fern Grotto. Kayakers can also make the trip upriver, but the main boat dock at Fern Grotto is reserved exclusively for the riverboats.

This natural amphitheater is an ideal natural acoustic venue, and you will be pleasantly surprised to find musicians play traditional Hawaiian Music, and absolutely love the sounds of the instruments as you hear them echo across the lava cave. The place is a great spot for photographers, as the romantic environment provides gorgeous views of the Wailua River, the riverbank and the formidable Mt. Waialeale, its peaks often shrouded by soft, white clouds.

If you fall in love with the beautiful atmosphere of Fern Grotto, remember that this exotic venue is a popular destination for wedding ceremonies!
