The crew was awesome and the ride was fantastic. Waves didn’t allow for us to go into the tunnel, but like the captain said, he wanted to keep us safe. Sandwich was yummy too. 10 out of 10 recommend

Makana Charters was so much fun! They ensured we got to do everything we wanted to do by by assessing the waters and adjusting when we did each part of the trip. Captain Shawn, Bree and Liliana were amazing - fun, knowledgeable and funny. They were great at interacting with all of us and making connections! Highly recommend this trip - oh and BTW - Na’Pali Coast?? —-AH-MAZING! Majestic and breathtakingly beautiful!

I would definitely recommend Makana Charters and the Amelia K. We were running a bit late due to traffic and they guided us quickly to the boat. The staff were a pleasure and very knowledgeable of the area and the sea. The food and beverages were great a d adaquate, plenty of beverages left over at the end. You won’t regret the Amelia K.

Very scenic, fun, informative boat tour to Na Pali cliffs. Guides were pros with good humor and safety aware. Took afternoon trip and had a school of dolphins swimming along side the boat on return. I recommend it, however the intercom speaker was at times difficult to hear with the boat moving.

All the men on the boat were very kind. They were so funny as well. As boat went along the shoreline they explained everything about the mountain range the caves and everything you ever wanted to know. I would do it again if I didn’t need to go back home.

We enjoyed our afternoon on Makena. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate for snorkeling but we still enjoyed the views and sea caves. We were also able to see a large pod of spinning dolphins, seals, a turtle and some goats which was great. If you are prone to motion sickness, definitely take something before as several on our boat were sick. The crew was excellent and communication from the company was excellent as well.

Beautiful experience and most definitely our favourite moments while we were in Kauai. I highly recommend Makana Charters for your boat day to the Na Pali Coast. The staff on board were amazing, and we had an incredible captain as well!

The Makana tour on the Seiko II was the perfect way to end our two week stay on Kauai. The captain and crew were fun, adventurous, professional, and helpful. They made sure everyone was looked after and having an enjoyable experience. We loved hearing about local culture and history, as well as taking the time to hangout with a pod of spinner dolphins. We are so grateful for such an amazing experience. Mahalo.

The crew of the Amelia K is professional, attentive, funny, and just plain happy. They provided a beautiful day of history and storytelling as we took in the sights of the gorgeous NaPali coastline. A perfect day. Thank you!

This was a great tour. The Na Pali Coast is a must see. It’s beautiful. Touring with Shawn, Ethan and Kai’au was a lot of fun. They were warm, hospitable, funny and took great care of all passengers.
