Took our family of four on this tour or kids are 12/9. It was a great experience! Worth every cent!!! We saw sooo many dolphins and the coast was stunning! Got to go in caves and went right under a waterfall!

Honestly, if you've never seen the Napali Coast, then any boat tour would be considered phenomenal. Its a breathtaking view. This was my second excursion, over 15 years apart. Some positives about this tour includes: free parking by their main stop, an emcee that was quite hilarious, a boat captain that made the boat ride at 15 knots super fun, and some history lessons along with the tour. So what was wrong? The area where we were snorkeling was quite bland. We only saw a few fish and didnt see a turtle until after we all got on the boat. After only about 30 min of snorkeling around I was bored (they give you an hour). At the beginning of the tour we were told that if you feel sick at anytime, to let them know and they'll have some remedies. Well...when I came back on the boat after snorkeling, I started feeling woozy. It was mainly because the boat was anchored and started swaying. I did take Dramamine an hour before the trip so that helped a little. I told one of the crew members how I was feeling and her suggestion was, "I would stand in the back so noone will see you get sick. Also, I wouldn't go in the bathroom because the enclosed space will make you feel worse." Not the remedies I was expecting. haha. I did not take her advice. Instead I stayed standing in the front and looked at the horizon as everyone else was enjoying their sandwiches and chips. The captain, at least, gave me a little piece of mind by telling me he'll have us back on shore in 50 minutes. So I stood there, feeling like I was on a speed boat, jumping with every big wave, wind blowing my hair and salty water on my face. Surprisingly, I felt better after that ride back. But I felt a whole lot better being on land.

We had an absolutely perfect experience with Makana Charters! The views were breathtaking, the boat ride was smooth, and the entire staff was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the trip. It was truly one of the best experiences of our vacation. However, there was one small issue regarding the seating. Since a family of six occupied two seats each, our own family members had to sit separately. It would have been much better if the staff had helped manage the seating arrangement so that families could sit together. Despite this, we still highly recommend this tour for the amazing scenery and service.

Our group of six had a wonderful experience with Makana. The Leialoha boat was a great choice. Dave and the captain of the boat gave us a great experience. They made everyone feel like family and we would do this tour again with no hesitation at all.

My family and I had an absolutely incredible time on the Leialoha! Rhi & Tony - thank you is too pale. You both are such treasures. We so enjoyed the breath taking views and truly loved the thoughtful and fascinating stories that Tony shared. Our family will never forget this experience(or Rhi & Tony!).

Incredible experience with Makana Charters. We felt safe and supported the entire duration of the trip. Guides were kind, interactive and educated guests on the history of the coast. We had two children 9 & 10 for the trip. They enjoyed it just as much as the adults. Dolphin sightings at multiple times on the trip. Snorkeled with lots of fish and turtles! 10/10 would recommend this tour. Kana and Jamie were GREAT!

Loved the Makana Charters tour! Our family had a wonderful time. Captain A’alona was amazing. His great sense of humor made the tour even more enjoyable and fun. We got to see the dolphins, the inside of caves and learn about the Napali coast of the island. Wonderful experience with the family. Highly recommend the tour.
