Amazing Experience of the Nāpali Coast. The people on the boat were very knowledgeable about everything and made it a very enjoyable and memorable experience! Highly recommend anyone to book Makana Charters and it’s helping a local business.

This was an amazing experience. The boat was clean as was the equipment used for snorkeling. The whole crew was amazing, accommodating, and informative. If you are looking for an awesome experience, book with Makana Charters.

Rhi and Lionel were awesome hosts, answered all of our random questions with local insights and honesty. They offered great recommendations for other things to do while in Hawaii based on their experience and our interests. Both had great, positive energy, were knowledgeable naturalists who could speak about the animals, plants, fish, and terrain, and had lots of unique insights and stories to share. Rhi was also a seasoned captain and got us into some tight caves on the Seiko II. Super fun all around, I’d recommend Makana to anyone visiting Kauai, and hope to see the coast with them again!

Absolutely Amazing Experience – Highly Recommend! We had such an incredible time on this boat tour! The guides were super chill, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable from start to finish. You could tell they genuinely loved what they were doing, and it really made the whole experience that much better. The views were absolutely unreal – like something out of a movie. It was one of those experiences that just stays with you. The food was simple but perfect for the setting – exactly what you'd want while out on the water. Plus, they kept the ice-cold sodas and waters flowing the whole time, which was such a nice touch. Overall, I’m so glad I booked this. It exceeded every expectation and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water!

Excellent adventure in Kauai! The Nāpali coast tour was breathtaking, loved the snorkeling, the dolphins (soooo many!), the waterfalls and caves, and the entire crew. The guys were super knowledgeable and quite entertaining 🌺🐬

This was a great experience. Our guides were informative and friendly. The scenery was spectacular. Even though we weren't able to snorkel, they still made the experience much fun. We also saw monk seals and dolphins.

Had a wonderful time. Crew was friendly, informative and entertaining. The views are amazing and the dip in the water refreshing. Only advice I would give you is the waters can be choppy so when you are going slower, seasickness can happen so taking preventative measures is highly recommended. Totally worth it!

(Translated by Google) The crew was very courteous and helpful, provided lots of information, and despite the boat's engine trouble, we managed to reach the highlight spot in such a way that everyone could take great photos. The engine trouble was a bit annoying, as it meant we couldn't go to the snorkeling spot. It would have been nice to receive a small gift from the tour operator's shop or a discount for that. Therefore, only 4 out of 5 stars. (Original) Die Crew war sehr zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit,gab viele Infos und trotz Maschinenschaden im Boot fuhren wir das Highlight so an ,dass jeder tolle Fotos machen konnte .Etwas ärgerlich war der Maschinenschaden ,weshalb wir nicht zum Schnorchelspot fahren konnten. Es wäre schön gewesen,wenn wir dafür ein kleines Geschenk aus dem Shop des Veranstalters oder einen Preisnachlass erhalten hätten. Deshalb nur 4 von 5 Sternen.
