Reviews for Makana Charters

This tour was seriously one of the best things we did in Kauai! The crew was awesome — super friendly and made the whole trip fun and relaxed. Boating along the Nā Pali Coast felt like something out of a movie. If you’re visiting the island, you have to do this tour. Totally worth it!

From the beginning the staff and captain were great. The views and getting up close and at times into the caves was awesome. YES INTO THE CAVES! Hearing the stories and history of the island was awesome. We would have been fine with just that but then getting into the water snorkeling with fish and turtles, WOW. Thank you for this experience.

Capt. Rob and staff were awesome, knowledgeable and fun to be on board with. The caves were awesome and the boat was really nice.

We’ve been out with Makana 3 times now and each time it gets better! We were blessed to have ultra calm seas and Captain Tim handled the boat like a Mini in a full parking lot. Under the water fall, in the sea caves, and even bounced us around like an E ticket ride at Disneyland!!! Added a short fishing trip on the way back too. Big smiles all day. Charlie and LeRoy crewed the trip and took great care of everyone. 3 Pods of dolphins, several turtles, and lots of fish when we stopped to have a swim. I can’t say enough about these people and this company. I recommend them highly and will be enjoying their tour again.

Overall awesome experience with Makana Charters! Captain Michael and his crew were amazing! They’re were very informative on the history of the landscape and showed us all the great spots on the coast! They were super professional and were fun to talk to! We had a blast and were happy we choose them for this experience!

Absolutely amazing tour of the Nepali coast! Big shoutouts to Elijah, Charlie, and our captain Rob for being so friendly and helpful. Ultra big shoutout to Elijah for taking my GoPro down for some amazing footage of a sea turtle! Definitely have to do it again when we come back

Great morning/afternoon tour! Nice boat with both open and shaded seating and great crew. Marana provided me with a gluten free turkey sandwich for lunch which was much appreciated. We saw so much of NaPali coast, including several dolphins, a few caves all with a great narration along the way. Got to snorkel for about an hour too (nice snorkel gear too). I have done three of these boat tours and liked this one the best. Great price too!

Best tour excursion in Kauai .Makana tour Captain n crew where excellent . You can not go wrong with these guys. Absolutely beautiful along the Na Pali Coast line. Looking forward of coming back and doing another excursion with this group

This locally owned and operated crew were fantastic. Even though the water conditions day of were a little choppy we still had a fantastic time and totally felt safe, as this is their backyard they grew up in. We got up close and personal views of the Na Pali Coast line and Hawaiian history. Highly recommend!

Both our captain and Tony were great. Fun and full of history facts. Indescribable experience! The Napili coast is a wonder! The smaller, more maneuverable boat allowed us to get extra close and even in some cave formations! Would recommended to all!

Makana Charters did a fantastic job with our NaPali Coast tour! The whole team is amazing with their knowledge and friendly vibes. We loved that they are native Hawaiians and shared many insights into the culture and the sacred sights we were able to view. Very attentive, patient, and kind to all the passengers, especially those with mobility issues or that needed some reassurance to enjoy snorkeling safely. And we saw baby dolphins on our tour, so that was amazing! Mahalo to Captain Mike and his crew!

Captain Rhiannon and Tony were a great team and the Seiko is a comfortable fast way to tour the coast. A beautiful and fun cruise.

Great boating trip out to the NaPoli Coast. The boat is very comfortable. Also, easy to climb back into after swimming/snorkeling. The crew were so caring and thoughtful of every need. They made sure everyone was taken care of, had plenty of good opportunities to get photos and even checked to see how everyone was feeling. Highly recommended this excursion!
