My family and I just went out this morning on the Seiko II with captain Kona and Sean. It really was a great trip. Even my 17-year-old daughter enjoyed it. We saw seals turtles dolphins reef fish. Pulled into caves, pulled under waterfalls, and our two captains gave us the best history and geography and nature less than you could ask for. You should definitely book a trip, mornings tend to be better than afternoons I hear.

Excellent tour. I’ve done the helicopter tour and this one and found this tour to be much more to my liking. Very informative and the close up views just incredible.

Makana delivers a truly memorable experience! The stunning beauty of the Nā Pali Coast is inspiring, and the Amelia K crew is welcoming and thoughtful. Mahalo nui loa!

We had a great trip with Makana Charters on the Amelia K. We saw a large group of spinner dolphins and saw the breath taking coast. Our kids enjoyed swimming and my oldest enjoyed jumping off the top of the boat. Our boat did have some significant mechanical issues that greatly shortened our trip/experience which was a huge bummer. We only made it they said about half way. The crew made the best of it and made us feel safe and some people in our group didn't even realize anything was wrong. All in all it was still a good experience even with missing half of the coast. I did request a partial refund since we did not get what we paid for and it was a pricey excursion but it was refused. While I'm sure it would've been an amazing tour, getting only a little more than half the tour with no refund only calls for a little more than half the stars.

Trip of of a life time for 12 family members on a private charter. Capt and co-captain were fabulous and so accommodating. The family will never forget this experience. So glad we did a privet charter. Much appreciation to Kona and Rey! You two were fab!!

We enjoyed swimming off the boat, seeing dolphins, and the scenic views. Having a marine biologist as one of our tour guides enhanced the experience. Unfortunately, the boat encountered some mechanical problems (at no fault of the company) so we turned around early and had to skip over a small part of the tour. Most importantly, the tour guides knew what to do and made sure everyone on board stayed safe.

We had an amazing experience with the captain & crew of the Makana Charters and Tours when we toured the Napali Coast today. The trip was naturally gorgeous and daringly exciting. The crew was as professional and knowledgeable as they were entertaining and fun loving.
