Reviews for Makana Charters

The crew was wonderful and the experience was spectacular. I was a first time snorkeler and they guided me through the experience beautifully. Thank you.

If I could give this 10 stars, I would! What a great tour. Lots of important history all across the coast. The crew was outstanding. They did cater to the tourists - without condescension, though. We all felt welcome. Even though it seemed inconvenient to be in full sun (row 3)... ended up being the greatest experience. Thanks Jaz, Capt. Rob, & Tim! If I got your names wrong, sorry! We love you & even folks who have done the coast before said this was the best. Book tbis one!!!

Amazing experience! Captain Rob and crew were friendly, funny and full of knowledge as they took us 32 miles up the beautiful NaPali Coast. As a bonus, Rob piloted the boat expertly into several deep caves, some curtained with waterfalls. Sitting in the front row was a huge win. It was a sunny day, and many people tried to sit under the awning. And since we were almost the last people on the boat we sat in the front row. There was no one between us and the unbelievable views. Bring reef-safe sun screen, a hat and cover up The ride is plenty windy and bumpy, but the seat pads are comfy enough even for my old bones. It was definitely an E-ticket ride like Indiana Jones at Disneyland. Fantastic!

This was an absolutely top notch experience. We had an amazing time. I cannot believe we got to see this amazing coastline and had the best captain and first mate ever. We are happy to support locally owned businesses and this charter was worth every penny.

This was our second trip with Makana Charters and it was wonderful!

We had so much fun! Captain Mike and crew (Lili and Kana) were so personable and nice. We saw a turtle and a huge dolphin pod. Captain Mike told the history of the islands and told us the names and meanings of the waterfalls. We went into the sea caves and saw the most amazing scenery. The kids had a blast jumping off the boat and snorkeling with the turtles and fish. Best thing we’ve done so far!

Wonderful experience! We liked how the boat could come so close to the coastline. The staff was very caring that all the passengers were safe. There was a wide span of age ranges from about 6 years old to 70 years old and the trip was good for all. We highly recommend this experience and would book it again in the future.

The Makana Charters Napili Coast tour was truly exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Makana Charters, and their experience and expertise on the sea were remarkable. The team, including the captain and crew, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They graciously answered all of our questions and provided insightful explanations of Hawaiian culture, detailing how their people traditionally lived, hunted, and cared for their entire village along the Napili Coast. They also thoughtfully provided a light lunch consisting of sandwiches, chips, and soft drinks. It was an amazing five-hour boat ride, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic boat trip! The staff is friendly but not intrusive, and they share interesting facts throughout the tour. They gave us splendid views of the Na Pali Coast, even entering some caves. They showed us dolphins, and we stopped at a beautiful spot for an hour of snorkeling. We appreciated that those who didn't want to snorkel, or simply wanted to swim or dive, were free to do as they pleased. For lunch, they gave us a sandwich and a bag of chips each. We had requested two vegetarian sandwiches when booking, and they accommodated our requests. There are bathrooms on the boat. It was a wonderful experience! Recommended! (Original) Gita in barca fantastica! Lo staff è cordiale, ma non invadente e raccontano curiosità interessanti durante il tour. Ci hanno regalato splendide viste sulla Na Pali Coast, entrando anche in alcune grotte, ci hanno fatto vedere i delfini e ci siamo fermati in un bel punto per fare snorkeling 1 ora. Abbiamo apprezzato che sia stata lasciata libertà a chi non desiderava fare snorkeling o a chi semplicemente voleva fare bagno o tuffi, di fare quello che voleva. Per pranzo ci hanno dato un panino e un pacchetto di patatine a testa. Noi avevamo chiesto in fase di prenotazione due panini vegetariani e siamo state accontentate. Sulla barca ci sono i bagni. È stata una bellissima esperienza! Consigliata!
