Beautiful trip along the Na Pali coast. Captain Mike and his crew, Ethan and Asia were excellent. It was interesting learning about the Hawaiian culture and history. Would highly recommend this tour.

We did our tour on the Amelia K. Captain Mike, Ethan aand Asia were great! The information they shared about the NaPali Coast was fantastic and the views were amazing. Truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. On the way back we even saw some dolphins. We also were able to watch an amazing sunset. I highly recommend this tour. You won't be disappointed!

This was by far the best trip up the NaPali Coast line. The crew was amazing! They were very informative and fun. The winds made the water a little choppy, but our captain made us feel save. This is an excellent run charter company. I would recommend to everyone!

I highly recommend Makana Charters. The captain and crew were outstanding. They helped make the experience unforgettable. We saw beautiful mountains, waterfalls, caves, dolphins, a gorgeous sunset, and much more. Don’t miss the Napali Coast!

This was a definite highlight on our vacation to Kauai! It was so beautiful and so much fun! Shawn and Kiole were just great and so personable. The lunch was good too! Don’t second guess it, just book it!! This was our first time to vacation here and I was worried about booking it, but it’s so worth it. The views were spectacular and no one got sick on our ride. So fun!!!

What a great experience!!! I completely forgot I brought my wrong swim suit and my camera cover was foggy (until after of course when I saw my photos) while I was on the tour ;) The captain, A’a (forgive the spelling if it is wrong) and his son were a great crew filled with kindness and knowledge! I loved the dolphins and the caves along the coast!! The water was a bit choppy that day so the snorkeling wasn’t the best to see a variety of fish in HOWEVER the rest of the journey was so lovely I still give them 5 stars!! The birthday acknowledgment that was given to me at the end of the boat ride was so sweet I had to try not to cry <3 I’m pretty sure no one else on the boat knew that this was a big birthday trip for me to get centered so this nod to my mana really meant a lot. Mahalo Makana Charters I hope to see you all again soon!!!

Captain Tim and Lionel were great! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to take our family out along the Na’Pali coast!! Highly recommend Makana Charters, and especially the Tim and Lionel team!!

The crew was good. Rough ride Lots of people got sea sick. We got pretty close to shore and felt unsafe by the caves. I preferred the helicopter tour of Napoli coast

Awesome trip to the Napoli coast with several stops to enjoy the view and learn the lore from a very knowledgeable guide. Saws lots of dolphins on the way out. On the return trip we enjoyed snorkeling amidst a variety of beautiful fish and a few turtles and then enjoyed tasty sandwiches before heading back to the harbor. Highly recommend!

Captain Mike and Asia are literally the best you can get. The ride was smooth, the information that Asia provided was informative, detailed and humorous. When we stopped to snorkel I lost my wedding ring of 34 years had slid off and sank, with help from another visitor who just happened to see it shining at the bottom, Asia retrieved it. Forever grateful If your thinking of taking a boat tour, take them hands down Mahalo

Amazing tour! Very knowledgeable crew! Very safe boat…kept very clean. Helpful to the elderly. Went all the way along the Nepali coast because the sea was calm. Improve the sound system, as it was hard to hear the great info provided at times. The price was the cheapest of all cruises with the longest time. Can’t be beat!!!
