Had a great time. Kana and Lionel were awesome guides and very patient with all the guests. You could tell they loved their jobs and the places we went. Something you need to do on the island

A truly magical day was spent with Makana touring the Napali Coast! Makana was so professional, from start to finish. On top of that, they were so accommodating to their guests. They were always happy to snap a photo or assist with equipment. The lunch was basic, but delicious, and hit the spot. The boat is beautiful, comfortable and very well maintained. We lucked out with perfect weather and relatively calm seas. We saw sea turtles, spinner dolphins, and even a monk seal! The Napali Coast is, I think, the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life. We all feel so blessed to have experienced this. Highly recommend this tour!

You cannot visit Kauai without seeing the Na Pali Coast from the water, and Makana Charters was great!! The Seiko 2 is a spacious, stable vessel and the tour was beautiful with plenty of great vantage points for photos. Eli and Rhi were the perfect crew—attentive, fun, and full of great information about the coast. The views speak for themselves, but the hospitality, food/snacks, and local vibe made it unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Must do experience while on the island! The staff on the boat were exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, funny and mischievous. Be prepared to get wet!

Excellent tour with a great crew and a really nice boat. Captain and crew told great stories and were super helpful. The boat was very comfortable and actually went in a cave. Snorkeling and the coastline were fantastic. Fun day and great memories. Thanks Makana Charters!

This was the best excursion experience! Makena charters’ staff are so experienced, friendly and fun! We saw pods of dolphins so many times, sea turtle and got to snorkel with colorful fish. Book the morning trip to see dolphins though.

This company is great with their information and directions. Once on the boat, the crew is fantastic! We saw Dolphins and the Captain is very informative. The snorkeling equipment is great, and there is lots of help if needed. They really looked after the kids and made sure they had a good time. The Captain is very skilled when going near the shore and into the “Cave”. The crew is very attentive and making sure the group was good. We highly recommend this company!! Mahalo!!

We were looking for a snorkeling excursion that wouldn’t break the bank and Makana Charters was one of the first ones that popped up. Booking was easy online and on the phone. We filled out our waivers online and the process was simple. We took the 8:30 tour. Captain Rob and crew gave us a wonderful trip. We saw spinner dolphins, got an exquisite tour of the Nāpali Coast. We saw waterfalls, sea caves and arches. Captain Rob’s expert seamanship was on display as we made our way into some lava tubes and sea caves. Crew member Jay provided the commentary as we toured the coast. After the tour of the Napali Coast, we had lunch and spent a little time snorkeling. We had a fantastic time. Being from western North Carolina, this is certainly one of those possible once in a lifetime moments and we are thankful to have gotten to experience this with Makana Charters. Thank you all so much. We hope to make it back some day.

Great tour of the Napali coast. Staff were knowledgeable, good-natured and helpful. Our whole group enjoyed the day! Photos don't do the scenery justice. Seeing it in person is amazing. We were also very lucky to come across a huge pod of spinner dolphins, a monk seal and lots of fish (while snorkeling)!

Great staff, but they did provide fruit as written. They made it fun. I’d use them again but pack some food and snacks and drinks first on the way there if you didn’t have breakfast.
