Reviews for Makana Charters

Had a great time, despite one of our group fracturing an ankle on bit of rough seas standing up front. The crew took excellent care of him. Still highly recommend this excursion. Sights were magnificent. Shout out to Ethan, Ky-el(sp? not kyle) and rest of crew. You were all great whether I remember your names or not.

We had a great time viewing the magnificent Napali coast on this tour! The crew was fantastic, very friendly and shared personal stories of living on the island. I would highly recommend Makana Charters to anyone coming to Kauai. The Napali Coast is definitely a must do!

Great crew, nice boat, but didn't get to snorkel. The crew didn't think the visibility was good enough. I think the customers should have voted on it or just went snorkeling.

We had the most amazing time with Makana Charters. The boat (Seiko) , the crew, the sea caves and the swimming in the perfectly blue water. Would do it again in a heart beat!

Such a fun crew, incredible sights, and surreal experience with the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins. We had a blast!

The tour was very well done and the guides are very knowledgeable and are willing to answer all questions patiently. However, I wish the website had told people to expect an extremely bumpy ride on the return. It isn’t about seasickness, some people don’t enjoy a boat continuously flying up and crashing into waves. As good as the tour was we wouldn’t have booked this had we known how bad the return ride is expected to be. The crew said it was a calmer day, we would have hated to experience it even worse. If you love roller coasters, you won’t have a problem.

Our trip was excellent from the instructions in the email on how to get to the harbor, where to park with picture instructions all the way to the check in. That made our trip start off on the right track. The boat trip was excellent with everything promised. Our boat captain Makana was very friendly, informative and a very skilled boat captain. With the help from Charlie being very freindly and a pleasure to talk with. They made our tour the best we have had here on the island of Kauai. Thanks for a great experience seeing the island from the ocean. Many thanks for the sea sickness information in your email that help my wife enjoy the trip as well since she was very nervous about getting sea sick. It must have helped because she enjoyed the tour as well.

Makana charters was amazing! Our original day to set out was scuttled due to awful weather. The office reached out and reschedule our tour for 2 days later, it was seamless. We took the 8:30am tour, which I would do again over the afternoon tour. The water is smoother and the weather is not too hot yet. We signed up for the 16 passenger boat (seiko) and I recommend that so you can get into the caves. Once on the tour, our guides Makana and Charlie, were great! They were knowledgeable and shared history of the island and Native Hawaiian life at every stop. We didn’t get to snorkel due to the torrential downpour recently which left the snorkel spots muddy and unsafe, but that left more time for exploring caves and waterfalls! It was one of the most amazing tours I’ve been on. Highly recommend this local tour company. Request Makana and Charlie, Makana was a great driver and if you are unsure about boats, don’t worry this guide is beyond an expert.

Captain Rob, Adam and Tony were great! We brought our 4 year old son and he had a blast! Got to go in 3-4 sea caves and get up close and personal with the majestic Napali Coast. Great crew, gorgeous view, good food and overall great company. What more can you ask for?! 10/10!

Amazing tour start to finish. The vibes were great and the guides are amazing drivers. I'm terrified of boats but they handled everything well and it's not that scary of a ride. They took us into the caves and took us further up the coast due to the snorkeling conditions not being right! Makana and Charlie were great guides!

(Translated by Google) We had a fantastic experience with this company! The guides were very friendly and provided us with lots of interesting information. The size of the boat allowed us to enter caves. It was absolutely amazing! On the way back, we had a great time: we put on some music and sang! I highly recommend this company! (Original) Nous avons eu une superbe expérience avec cette compagnie ! Les guides étaient fort sympathiques et nos donnaient beaucoup d'information intéressante. La grosseur du bateau permet d'entrer dans des grottes. C'était absolument fantastique ! Au retour, nous avons eu un moment: nous avons mis de la musique et chanter ! Je vous recommande cette compagnie sans hésiter !

This was a great experience for me and my family! Would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for an awesome tour of the beautiful Nepali Coast. We had to reschedule our original tour due to weather and they were able to get us on a tour for the next day. If you get sea sick like me, going on a larger boat helped me feel less sick (as well as taking medicine well before and using patches). My kids are 6 and 9 and it was almost a little too long for them but they got to sit on the bow of the ship for part of the tour and they loved that. We didn’t get to snorkel due to the heavy rains the day before we but still go to swim in the ocean and that was a highlight for my kids. We saw sea turtles and spinner dolphins and that was awesome as well. The crew was so friendly and accommodating. They picked the perfect spot to stop and take photos of each group which was so so nice. I can’t say enough good things!

Magical day on the Napali coast! The Amelia K is the perfect boat for these waters and the crew of Makana, Dana, and Eli were a blast.
