Reviews for Makana Charters

Our entire experience with Makana Charters was wonderful. They were amazing with our two boys, they took safety as the upmost priority, and kept us entertained during our tour.

Our guides were fantastic, knowledgeable, all around engaging throughout. I appreciated their knowledge of the many years of history the west coast has. Swimming optional but water nice and warm. Treated to dolphin sitings a few times . These guys and girls are pros with a personal touch. Highly recommended.

We booked this tour last minute and were not disappointed! The boat was very well maintained, the staff were exceptional with great knowledge of the area along with being native to the Island. They provided a fabulous time as well as great safety. I highly recommend Makana Charters!

Our boat tour with Captain Shawn and Kai were a great time. They both provided detailed history of each area we’d pass while on the tour which helped you enjoy the beautiful scenery with even more gratitude. They also had a great sense of humor and had the entire crew laughing while we toured the Ná Pali Coast. There were many great landmarks we got to see, and plenty of wildlife to see as well. It was definitely one of the greatest views of Kaua’i you will find.

I think Ron and his crew did an amazing job. We had a private group go out and got to enjoy the ride. They were up front from the start about weather and other things that could happen. They advised us to do the morning trip. So happy we did. We saw so many dolphins and the water was perfect! (Granted we could not snorkel) We did get to do a deep ocean swim which was just as amazing. Can say we swam with sharks now 😂. (The crew saw one deep underwater 100+ feet so all was good). We had a few people get sea sick and the crew handled them nicely. Would always advise people to go with them ! Thanks again mahalo Stephen

Sean & Kai Ou were amazing! Shared story & knowledge of the Na Pali Coast from a native perspective. So friendly & funny. Was a slightly bumpy ride, but they were extremely supportive of those that got sea sick. 2 out of 16, not bad. They took the boat under a waterfall for us, brought us into a cave (as far as the boat could go), and even caught a fish while coasting at lunch. Extra special. My favorite part was their personal experience and family story they shared. So personal & generous. I 100% reccomend Makana Charters. We rode on Billy w Captain Sean. He’s an amazing Captain, and Kai Ou was very generous as well. The highlight of our trip ❤️

This was the best experience I’ve ever had! Mike and the crew were so much fun to be with and made us feel safe and well cared for. Mike’s depth of knowledge of the island added to the trip- every person who gets to see the Napali Coast and explore Kauai is so lucky to be able to share in the magic of the island and learn about the island’s history/culture from the locals. Thank you, Makana Charters Tours!

Excellent tour! Captain Mike and his team were great - they ensured everyone on board had the best experience possible. We saw literally hundreds of dolphins, which was an amazing added bonus to the stunning coastline! I highly recommend this tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip.

I cant review the experience as I received a call the morning of the sail asking me to reschedule as my mother and I were the only ones booked for that afternoon sail. We were on a cruise ship and were only ported in that location on that day. Disappointing to receive this call hours before we were going to be sailing as we had to scramble to find another tour of the napali coast last second. We did find another company that squeezed us in and had a great time. The napali coast was spectacular and we would have been disappointed if we had missed out. I give two stars as they did call us to let us know. I deducted three stars for waiting until the morning of. They were aware we were the only ones and they risked us not being able to see the coast by waiting until the last second to notify us. The woman who called was polite and professional and assured me I would receive a full refund as a reschedule was not possible. I am not sure why they would request a review from someone they cancelled on

Great local company to book Na’Pali coast boat ride. Captain and crew friendly and fun. Very informative about Hawaiian history. I’m a repeat and will recommend to family and friends. Mahalo! 🌴🐬

We had such a great time on our Napoli Coast tour with Makana Charters! The crew was so friendly and great to spend the afternoon with and had so much knowledge being from the island and knowing its history. If we go again with our family, we will definitely book with them.

Bri and Elijah were super awesome to tour the Napali coast with! Would absolutely recommend going with them on the Seiko 2. We had tons of fun even with getting sea sickness (highly recommend medication even if you don’t normally get sick)
