Our first visit to Kauai for our 30th Wedding Anniversary, and we did Napali coast tour which was amazing an experience. The crews customer service was great , we felt really safe, and homemade lunch sandwiches was delicious. This was so much fun and best part of our trip, i highly recommend Makana Charters.

Hands down, the most “see and do” tour on the island! The crew is hilarious and so personable, they get to know everyone on the boat and make one heck of a sandwich for lunch. Their fun facts about the Na'Pali Coast had us laughing nonstop. The Dorkeling session at the end (yes, it looks dorky!) and snorkeling along the coast felt like another world, we saw fish we’ve never seen before and even sea turtles. Absolutely unforgettable!

The crew was exceptional. Great local people, great knowledge, had a blast, went into caves and viewed the one of the most gorgeous areas on planet earth. Just cannot say enough about great these people are and that's the honest truth. Thank you for the special day and all the wonderful memories that we will never forget.

Worth every dollar! No other way to get these particular views of the coast. This was the perfect way for us to finish our trip to Kauai.

Unbelievable adventure with Makana On the Amelia K !! It was the ride of a lifetime. The captain was amazing getting us into sea caves and the smoothest ride out. We had fun jumping off the roof and snorkeling in the clearest of water. The ride back was awesome jumping the waves ! 100% recommend well worth the money!

We had the BEST time doing a Napali Coast tour and snorkel! The views were stunning, and we got to see some spinner dolphins right off the side of the boat. Our guides had tons of great information to share.

What a lovely outing to Na Pali coast! We are a traveling as a family of four adults, and all of us enjoyed the trip. Captain Mike of Amelia K and his two assistants provided top notch care of the boat and the passengers. We saw bottle nosed dolphins frolicking in the water, and got to learn about the features and history of the coastline. It was good to learn of the captain’s personal family connection to the land we saw. The snorkeling hour was well executed. Unfortunately, I got hit with a monster migraine in the water and had to get out quickly. The staff assisted with care, and Lionel in particular attempted to help me improve the situation above and beyond what I would expect. Overall, I highly recommend the experience! But maybe don’t snorkel if you are migraine or sinus headache prone…

Yesterday, we took a Makana Charters Boat Tour around the NaPali Coast. Not only did we see breath taking views of the NaPali Coast, but the crew shared Hawaiian history and culture. Makana Charters is one of only two boat tour operations that are owned and run by Native Hawaiians. Our adventure also included traveling through sea caves and passing under waterfalls. Along the tour, we saw sea turtles, a seal, bright colored fish and many dolphins. A very big thank you to our exceptional crew: Captain Mike, Lionel and Liliana.They were professional, pleasant, kind and very helpful. They made our visit to the NaPali Coast our favorite part of our Kauai vacation. We highly recommend Makana Charters Boat Tour.

Great experience. Crew was super friendly and attentive. Saw a huge pod of dolphins with babies. Great tour of the coast, caves and waterfalls. Snorkeling was decent but not as good as other places we have been. Boat ride was very enjoyable. Highly recommend Makana Charters!
