The crew was fantastic! The captain very skilled as he was able to navigate into the sea caves without hitting the rock walls despite all the waves. We were amazed by quantity and variety of fish when snorkeling!! We even saw sea turtles:)

My husband and I were told about Makana charters from someone staying at our hotel in Kauai! She said she has booked through them for years so we gave them a try and we understand why! Our crew made us feel like family the second we got on that boat. They were funny, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable and having the best time the whole time. They even packed us lunch and I’m allergic to wheat and they made sure I had a gluten free sandwich which I thought was a super nice extra step! The na pali tour was the coolest thing I have ever done, I travel a lot and have been to a lot of places but never anywhere like the na Pali coast. I will definitely be coming back to Kauai and when I do I will be doing another boat ride through Makana charters. I really can’t recommend enough!!!

Aloha, Great tour operator. I think crew was Shaun, Elijah, and third guy, all were great, nice commentary. Great trip to see Napali Coast. You must do. I have sea sickness but the crew gave me all the things made me comfortable- this is something you don't see these days. One advice, if you have motion sickness, plan accordingly so you can fill enjoy the boat ride. We saw great dolphins. Mahalo!

We had an amazing day on Amelia K snorkel and cruise on NaPali Coast in Kauai. Communication from the company was good. Parking easy. It is away from the harbor so get there early. They are very organized and efficient. They concentrate on safety and providing a good time for the guests. We saw a pod of dolphins, views of the NaPali cliffs, a short swim and then snorkeling. The snorkeling location wasn’t the best but not the company’s fault. I would definitely do this again.

We got to see one of the most beautiful places ever with a wonderful crew and experience. The tour guides were excellent at everything from creating a smooth ride in the boat to showing us literally every inch of the Na Pali coast, teaching history and culture and nature, spotting interesting things on the coast to point out, getting a great snorkeling spot (with sea turtles!), and taking care of each of us. Their largest boat that fits about 30 is perfect for the trip; I get seasick easily and this was the least seasick I've been on a small boat. They were so kind and genuine and fun and knowledgable.

Our family had the most fun and memorable experience yesterday on the Amelia k with Captain Shawn, Jamie and Ethan. The weather was perfect on the way out,which enabled us to go further up the west side of the Napali coast (I think). Sat with pods of dolphins, explored sea caves, snorkeled, got wet under one of many waterfalls, all while taking in the extraordinary cliffs of this beautiful coastline. We then had a fun, wave bumping ride back to the harbor all in 5 hrs! The crew was informative and very funny. I loved their stories of the island where they all were raised and the rich and sacred history of the various points along the coast. Young and old were on the trip and we all returned smiling and laughing! I do have some nice pictures that I’ll post later, just wanted to give my kudos before I forgot!

The crew were awesome and very entertaining! We were fortunate to see dolphins, lots of waterfalls, a few turtles. My only suggestion would be to improve on the lunch, or bring some food for the people reading this - I was hungry before snagging some leftovers from people who didn't end up coming on the trip who had lunches prepared already. Overall it was a great experience!
