Excellent tour. The boat ride was comfortable and shaded. The sites were amazing, even saw dolphins along the way. And the staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable. They’ve got everything dialed in.

Absolutely Unforgettable Experience – 10/10! This was hands down one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life. Exploring the Nā Pali Coast is something my family and I will never forget—and it was made even more incredible thanks to our three amazing guides (Jamie, Kaio, Coby). From the moment we set out, they made every single person feel completely safe and supported. Their deep knowledge of the area, combined with a genuine passion for what they do, made the whole trip not just beautiful but meaningful. They struck the perfect balance of fun, professionalism, and care, which allowed everyone to relax, enjoy, and truly take in the mind-blowing views around us. Huge kudos to the entire crew—this is how every guided experience should be. If you’re thinking about it, book it. You won’t regret it!

The employees were down-to-earth and welcoming! We struck up conversation with them, picking at their knowledge, and they willingly delivered. The tour overall was 5/5 - we got to see dolphins & beautiful mountain scapes. The boat ride was 4/5 - nauseating and sometimes wet, but nothing the company could control with the chaotic waves rolling in. I recommend Makana Charters has ginger ale available for those who need to settle their stomachs. 5/5 recommend!

7/28/2025: By far the best ocean experience we’ve had since moving to Hawaii. Captain A’alona and his son Kaiao made the experience even more memorable with their knowledge about Kauai and the history of Na Pali coast. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back!

We had an absolutely magical time visiting the Na’Pali Coast with Makana Charters! The tour was wonderful. We learned a lot of history and saw so many beautiful sceneries along the way. The captain and his crew went above and beyond to keep us safe and comfortable. Jumping off the roof of the boat and swimming was probably the highlight for the kids. Thank you for an unforgettable day!!

Great trip!! Beautiful views of the cliffs. We hit some big waves but the captain was very skilled and we felt very safe. Big Ethan and Asia were great as well and ensured everyone's comfort. I highly recommend the Amelia K to see NaPali!!

The team was very attentive and knowledgeable about the history of the Na’pali coast which made it even more fun! The boat driver, Captain Mike, was also a very skilled driver. Unfortunately, we were unable to snorkel as they mentioned though it was blue it was murky. In other words, we would have a hard time seeing what’s in the ocean but other predators would be able to see us. They mentioned they wouldn’t let their families in that water which made us feel more content knowing they put our safety first. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend!!

Absolutely spectacular. Captain Ron and his crew were fantastic. You can’t leave the island without doing it.

Captain Mike and crew were very friendly and informative. They shared personal stories and Hawaiian history. The views were awe inspiring. Thank you for fulfilling one of my life long dreams! (And the sandwiches were delicious.). The dolphin viewing was thrilling and the snorkeling was fun. Great day-in Kauai.
