Fantastic excursion! Everything was perfect. Captain Mike and his crew were super. We saw spinner dolphins and a few turtles. The captain explained the history of coast which was very interesting.

Amazing service from start to finish, reminder emails and text kept us up-to-date and made me confident of where to meet them before we even started. We were escorted to our ship, given directions and had three amazing men lead our entire day that could not have gone any better. The weather was amazing. We saw all the sites and they got us home safe. Would highly recommend and would absolutely use this company again.

Jamie and Captain Sean/Shawn made this trip memorable. The coast is a wonderful view in itself but their knowledge about the area add so much to the tour. Super friendly, accommodating, and the kind of people you don’t mind being a boat with for five hours! We saw turtles, dolphins, caves, a monk seal, and countless fish. The coastline and its history are breathtakingly stunning!

We did the 8:15 tour on Na Pali Kei III, and it was magnificent. Captain Mike and his team were top notch, and they made sure they took care of us. We saw bottlenose and spinner dolphins, green turtles, and gorgeous fish. The snorkeling was beautiful. The crew was knowledgeable and shared so much history with us. Best part of our vacation.

What an amazing tour of Na Pali Coast! Absolutely breathtaking views but also got to see dolphins (even 2 baby dolphins!), a sea turtle, and other sea life. We were lucky to book a tour on the perfect day where the weather was nice and the ocean was calmer. Captain Makana and his crew, Asia and Leeroy, were the best. Captain Makana was friendly, informative, and funny and Asia and Leeroy were attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this (native-owned) tour company!

Makana boat tours was so awesome. The Captain and two helpers on the boat were so welcoming, laidback and chill. They all tried to make it the best experience throughout and did an excellent job! Highly recommend this tour company. Would book again!

Second time I have used them. Captain Mike is wonderful. He handled big swell with ease today and was able to get us in all of the caves. Lionel is the best. Adam was a great addition as well. They are both so easy to talk to and so genuine. I had 4 year old on board and they treated us like kings. So attentive and helpful. I will use them again when I come back. 10/10 recommend.

We highly recommend Makana Charters for the Napoli coast tour. Mike, Elijah and Shelby were excellent guides, they made the trip fun and shared some history and stories of the island. We made several stops to enter caves and for taking photos.The Amelia K was clean, comfortable and pick up and drop off were super easy. We really enjoyed the day!

Absolutely incredible, I have been on a lot of snorkel tours but nothing beats this crew and how well they manage. We saw turtles and lot of fish. Na Pali coast is an unreal experience!

Fantastic tour! These guys were so great! The boat ride was relatively smooth and we had so much fun. The coastline was breathtaking and the water was beautiful! I had read in other reviews with other groups that their boat rides were pretty rough and sometimes snorkeling was canceled. That did not happen to us. Makana had good reviews about the boat and the activities, and they did not disappoint. A definite must-do if you plan to schedule ANY activity on Kauai! Thank you, Makana!
