Memorial Day 2026 Trip. We headed out around 2pm in the afternoon. Beautiful weather. Captain Mike and Team were well organized and briefed and prepared us for the 5 hour tour. Tour out and back was unbelievable. Na Pali Coast is stunning. Water is the bluest you've ever seen, coast line was incredible. Captain got us as close to the highlight spots ( caves, coast line features, etc.) as you could get. The one cave he pulled into you could almost touch the walls ! Along the way, informative messages from the team members about each area, so a learning experince too. Paused for an hour for some swimming/snorkeling. This was one of the BEST excursions my wife and I have every taken!!! We even got to see a rainbow on the way back in. What a memorable experience. Thank you Captain Mike and the Team !

Amazing experience Napali Coast Tour. I highly recommend! We saw many dolphins on our way to see the Napali coast. Capt Aa made sure we get to experience a dolphin tour as well. We went to 2 sea caves. My husband loved the tour inside the sea cave. We went in end of May, so the sea was little rough and capt made sure we had a great tour safely. It is better to go in good sea conditions as waves can be huge and difficult to deal with, but the capt was great and very skilled local. We didn’t snorkel because the water was too cold, so if u plan to snorkel pick Summer months even May is cold.

Great time with captain mike and Eli. Amazing tour, saw dolphins and an amazing view of the Nāpali coast. Snorkeling was a little bit of an afterthought but weren’t able to snorkel their best location

Excellent crew and captain ! If you don’t know if you get sea sick take Dramamine! Sometimes the sea is unpredictable . I think thoroughly enjoyed the trip

Amazing! Hawaiian owned and operated with a super friendly and informative crew! The boat can handle the wind and waves really well! The snorkeling, waterfalls, lava caves and Napali Coast are breathtaking! And the dolphins and rainbows were an extra bonus! A must do on the Amelia K!

Our family had a phenomenal experience on this afternoon tour of the Na Pali coast on the Seiko II. Aside from the stunningly beautiful scenery and views, the local guides are incredibly knowledgeable and go out of their way to make you welcome and comfortable. Not only did we see all the cliffs, waterfalls, beaches and arches, they drove us into a sea cave, and later we got to jump off the top of the boat and go swimming. Be aware that you will get wet, even if you don’t swim. Bring a towel and maybe a change of clothes (there was a changing area at the harbor). It can be very bumpy and super duper windy. Anyway…Get ready for an unforgettable adventure!!!

Great experience ! But make sure you have nausea madicine, even if you think you are not prone to motion sickness. Because it will get to you eventually. Crew is super nice, they are helpful and fun. But only medicine can save you from being sea-sick. View are amazing, can only be seen from the boat. Caves are scary, but crew is great at maneuvering the boat. Once in a lifetime experience

The cruise has incredible views! And the crew on board was absolutely terrific! We got to see a few caves, fish (flying fish), turtles, waterfalls. The captain made us feel very safe during the entire trip. Most of people also went snorkeling and Makana provided all of the equipment. Near the end of cruise we slowed down and enjoyed a lunch provided by Makana. It was perfect! My wife and I highly recommend this tour. We were on the Amelia K. It has 2 nice and convenient restrooms (men’s and women’s).
