A highlight of our vacation for sure!! We were on the Amelia K morning tour. Loved the crew- Mike, Ethan, & Elijah- they were so fun & easy going, and worked so hard to make sure every person was comfortable and having a good time. Captain Mike had so many stories and told us all about the history of beautiful Kaua’i & specifically the NaPali coastline as we got UP CLOSE for some epic pictures! It was seriously breathtaking! We saw SO MANY dolphins, mamas & their babies too… caves, beaches, waterfalls, and of course the towering mountains of the NaPali coastline. Snorkeling was amazing as well- saw turtles and tons & tons of fish! They fit everyone with snorkel masks, flippers, & a floaty to use while snorkeling. There were a few people that were pretty nervous about swimming or snorkeling and Elijah & Ethan were SO great & calming with them- explaining everything, helping them feel comfortable with whatever they chose- to swim or not. I just can’t rave enough with how great this crew was with every person- they were happy to be there, happy to help, and happy to share their love of Kaua’i- that truly made the experience worth every dollar! Would definitely do this again & recommend it to ALL!

The young lady that meet us when we arrived was so helpful and set up pickup taxi for when we arrived off the charter. She went up and beyond and we so appreciated her! The charter was awesome and Captain Mike and his crew did excellent job, stopping and showing us dolphins and explaining about the wild life, pointing out interest points, took us into caves. They were very knowledgeable and we highly recommend this charter. Thank you for the memorable 45th anniversary!

Captain “AhAh” and fist mate Asia, did a phenomenal job on our charter boat ride!! Knowledgeable, funny and sarcastic but also serious about the historical significance of their islands. We had a great trip out along the Na Pali Coast and enjoyed snorkeling, waterfalls and cave exploring.

We went out on the Seiko with A A and AJ. We toured the caves and learned a lot about the history and culture of the island and surrounding islands. Highly recommend this tour. One of the best excursions we booked. And if you can get on with the guides we went with even better.

I’ve previously used Captain Andy’s for Na Pali Coast cruise and while I liked that, I loved Makana Charters even more. Makana was the only charter I could find that would accommodate my physically disabled father on board (uses two canes). There’s a short shuttle from the meetup location to the dock. They proactively allowed us to stay in our own car and park at the dock to accommodate my father. I didn’t ask for this - they just did it! I really appreciated it. The cruise itself was amazing and our captain has amazing sailing skills to poke our heads into sea caves. The deckhands were very friendly and kept things lively.The boat itself ran smoothly and I was impressed with how it was able to take on the swells and wind on the way back to port. Never felt sea sick. Very clean and well cared for boat. Would highly recommend! I’m so grateful they were able to take my father onboard because the Na Pali coast is something I really hope he could witness. :) great company!
