Makana Charters gave us an excellent experience! The crew was very kind (Kai and Aa)! We saw SO MANY dolphins, got into a sea cave and snorkeled! We finished the tour with a lunch and aloha juice! Definitely recommend everyone to check them out!!

Crew was experienced, friendly and engaged with the guests. Toured caves, saw dolphins and turtles and most of the entire NaPali coastline. Wish we had more tine for snorkeling in areas with more fish. Lunch was sandwiches and chips but able to bring own food if you preferred.

We had an absolutely great time on the Ameila K! The Captain and Crew were absolutely incredible. The process was smooth, the boat ride was amazing and the overall experience is definitely worth it! I highly recommend!!!! I am normally a seasick person and did very well on this boat. I only took one chewable drenamine beforehand and had no issues.

Amazing experience even on a choppy day!! Captain Dave and Jaye made the experience memorable and comfortable. We had such a blast and even saw a few turtles and goats on top of the beautiful views!

Amazing tour and a great crew!! We were on the Leialoha and the ride was super comfortable and got into the sea caves easily (we were lucky ocean conditions were fairly calm when we went). 10/10 recommend!!

Our tour with Makana Charters & Tours was one of the highlights of our trip! We spent time with a pod of bottlenose dolphins, explored sea caves, and enjoyed some great snorkeling in crystal-clear water. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The crew (Captain Mike, Lionel and Tony) was outstanding—friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and truly top-notch. They made the entire experience safe, fun, and unforgettable. I highly recommend Makana Charters & Tours to anyone visiting Kauai!

We had a great time using Makana Charters! Easy to deal with and thorough. Captain Ree was incredible and her First Mate was as well! The boat was big enough to accommodate 18 passengers comfortably, yet was still small enough to get into caves and up by the cliffs easily. A mostly-covered vessel was used, so people would have the option of sitting in the shade, or, could choose to sit in the front or back in the sun. Captain Ree was very knowledgable and kept us all informed of things including; our surroundings, island culture, the fish and sea life in the area, and island traditions and history. I would definitely recommend this company and hope to someday return and use them again! Mahalo!

Enjoyed this boat ride. I very much enjoyed the waves while they played Hawaiian Roller Coaster ride from Lilo and Stitch. I used the ginger Dramamine to help with sea sickness. Lots of dolphins. Crew was amazing. Jay and Jazzy were very kind, helpful and knowledgeable.

Exceptional boat tour! Crew was fantastic and entertaining. They were so great with the kids (6 and 11). It was definitely worth the money. Kids were asking to go again! For sure have everyone take Dramamine even in the summer, the waves were huge but it was never scary.

We had an amazing time on this tour. It was absolutely stunning. We got to see dolphins and sea turtles. Captain Edwin and his son were wonderful and the captain was quite skilled at maneuvering in and out of the caves. Would highly recommend this tour!!

This tour is amazing!! It was definitely our favorite thing about our visit to Kauai! We were on the Seiko II with Captain Rhi and Tony, who were fabulous in every way! The sea caves were the coolest and we also saw a ton of dolphins surrounding our boat! I was one of the unlucky souls that got sea sick unfortunately, BUT that said, I'm still extremely glad I did it and it was still the highlight of my trip! For those wondering about their own potential motion sickness (which I definitely was prior to booking as I am highly prone to it), I had motion sickness patches (non-prescription/natural) and I also took ginger pills and followed all their suggestions that they send ahead of time in their very helpful email (make sure to read that!). I didn't want anything that might make me sleepy so opted for the more natural motion sickness remedies, but perhaps would have done better if I had taken the strong stuff. Hard to say. Thankfully, I did fine for the first 4 hours and thought I was home free, but after the snorkeling and stepping back on the boat while stopped and bobbing, I immediately became sick. They were great about it and Tony tried to talk me through the ride back by giving me tips to minimize the sickness. Thanks, Tony!! Things did get better once the boat started moving again. But again, SO RECOMMEND!!!!! It's a must!!

We had a great day with Captain Sean and Nathan. Saw lots of Spinner Dolphins and going into the caves was incredible. They both were very attentive and informative. I highly recommend you book your tour with Makana
