Reviews for Makana Charters

One of the best tours I've taken in a long time! Sean and crew did an amazing job and we had a ton of fun on the water! We even got to circle and see a feeding happening with birds and fish. What an experience!

Very true trip. Far better than in one of these bumpy speed boats. Absolutely recommend it.

Amazing tour of the Napali Coast with a local family owned company. The crew was very knowledgeable of the area and guided a great tour. We saw all the amazing sites on the coast and got lucky to stop and see some spinner dolphins that the captain stopped for us to see. We would book Makana Charters for this tour again and again!

Mike + co were a fantastic crew and made the whole experience wonderful. They were able to take us right into the sea caves and provided lots of interesting historical facts along the way!

Hawaiian owned company. Great boat captain of 30 years. Covered a lot of history. Drove boat great on the water. Worth every dollar. The most incredible views of the napali coast line and snorkeled for almost an hour.🤙

We had a very enjoyable experience on our morning Napali Coast tour and snorkel adventure. Captain Rob was an excellent host who was very knowledgeable about the area and lots of fun! His helpers on board, Leroy and Adam, were also very knowledgeable, helpful and great at their jobs. The guests on our tour varied in age and the captain and crew worked well with everyone and were especially good with the children. The tour even included peaks inside multiple water accessible caves on the route. The snorkel time was fun and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Absolutely amazing captain and crew! Beautiful boat ride, about half of the boat is shaded with padded seats. Floated so close to the dolphins 🐬 we could hear them whistle! Simply a breathtaking experience! No one on the boat got seasick and the snorkeling was great!

Captain Sean and Kana were the best! Knowledgeable, funny, kind, helpful, all around great. Ask for them if you can. Awesome - second time experience on the Napali Coast.

The captain and his crew were absolutely delightful. We enjoyed our sandwich snack and also the music with all the information added to that as well. Riding back from the snorkeling site was a lot of fun. You could tell the captain was very confident with his maneuvering the swells that we bounced over.

We did a tour of the Na Pali Coast with Captain Mike and his amazing crew on the Amelia K and I can’t say enough great things about it! The crew were so friendly and made our time onboard so much fun. The Amelia K was a great boat to experience all the amazing sites with. I 100% recommend taking this tour and I know I’ll be doing it again whenever I go back.

One of the most amazing experiences we’ve had with our family! The Napali coastline is absolutely beautiful, the snorkeling was incredible-saw so many fish and 2 sea turtles!- the captain and crew were so much fun and being local they were very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the island and Napali Coast… loved every minute of this adventure! Thank you Makana!!!

The Na Pali Coast boat tour by Amelia K was truly unforgettable. From the moment we set sail, the crew made us feel welcome and safe, while also keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed. The scenery was breathtaking—towering emerald cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and sea caves that felt like something out of a movie.

We had an absolutely fantastic tour on September 15, 2025 with Makana Charters. They made the entire tour easy with great pre-tour communications. Our Captain, Sean, was fun, knowledgeable and an incredibly skilled navigator on the ocean. First mate, Kyle, did an excellent job as well keeping us comfortable and informed. Since they are Kauai locals they were able to share the importance of the Na Pali coast with us first-timers. You have many options when booking a tour, I would highly recommend Makana Tours and the Seiko boats. Very comfortable.

Amazing tour with serene views of the Napali Coast.Would highly recommend this tour which is usually with a small group and very informative guides! An Experience that one shouldn’t miss in Kauai!
