(Translated by Google) Fantastic boat trip to the Na Pali Coast. The crew was super friendly and explained a lot, there were free soft drinks and a snorkeling stop was included 👍🏻 (Original) Toller Bootsausflug zur Na Pali Küste. Die Crew war super nett und hat viel erklärt, es gibt kostenlose Softdrinks und ein Schnorchelstop ist auch drin 👍🏻

What a wonderful experience. The Amelia K boat was a great choice. Steady ride, fun staff, snorkeling was great and the views were out of this world! Highly recommend

My daughter and I went out on the 32 passenger boat with Makana (owners son),Elisha, and another guy. So funny, nice and accommodating to explore the Na Pali coastline. One of the 4 engines had trouble so we had to turn around to head back to the dock for safety reasons not knowing if we would be refunded or get another boat. We still got our lunch they provided. My daughter and I hung out at a nearby beach to explore and we quickly received a phone call from Makana asking if we would like to go out on another boat the same day which we gladly accepted. Our next tour was 2 hrs later, giving us time to finish exploring. Our next boat ride was on a 12 person boat with A’a (his nickname) and Liliana. They were both amazing and a wealth of knowledge about the island and history! That man can drive a boat! He took us up into cave spots and put my daughter under a waterfall! The Na Pali coast line is not to be missed. We felt that we got a 2 for 1 deal, getting 2 meals, snorkeling twice in different spots and the grand finale of the amazing mountains. I highly recommend Makana charters for their friendly and professional staff!

A great day at the Na Pali coast. The Captain and crew were very professional but still fun, keeping everyone’s safety first and foremost. Would definitely recommend them to others.

Crew and communication were great! The boat was a little different than expected, but worked well. Multiple seats, but very little standing room, which is probably best in rough weather. The views are amazing from the boat! Sit on the right side for the best pictures…

Captain Aa was awesome. Really knowledgeable about the island and Hawaiian culture. He does talk a little faster but that's because he has a lot of info to passs down in short period of time. We had some rough waters so we didn't get to do any snorkeling unfortunately. Trip was awesome all ans all.

Amazing, thrilling, and beautiful . I can't say enough good things about this tour. We had a chance to go snorkeling for about an hour. Views were like nothing I've ever seen before. Lunch was delicious and the captain and crew were amazing! All born and raised in Hawaii, they shared stories and answered all questions about Hawaii and it's history. Mahalo 🤙

Had a fantastic experience aboard the Seiko with Captain A’a and crew who were all very kind, knowledgable and experienced. Beautiful coastline scenery and wildlife including a pod of spinner dolphins, and a fun sheltered snorkelling spot. Would highly recommend this trip and company. If you are someone who gets seasick then I would advise taking some medication beforehand as I noticed some of the other passengers were feeling the effects of the sea.

We did a boat/snorkeling tour up the Na Pali Coast on the Amelia K and couldn't recommend it more! Captain Makana and his crew were awesome. The scenery was breath taking. The value for all we got to see and do was great, even the sandwiches were better than expected.

Amazing, professional staff, great snorkel equipment and super clean boat! My husband and I love the size of the group compared to the larger boats where you are all crammed on. We will definitely go with Makenna again if we come back!

Amazing captain! With a great crew! Locals who know the rich and meaningful history of the napali coast and the island itself! 30 years of boat experience, and can tell by the way the captain controlled the boat through the seas! Would book again!

My wife and I booked this on our honeymoon. The captain and crew were wonderful. A few folks became seasick, but the captain did his best to reduce the vessel’s sway despite the chop. We snorkeled for a bit and saw a sea turtle underwater. It was so cool. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a little adventure in Kauai. I would also recommend following their advice and having a light breakfast or meal before boarding.

What a trip! The Amelia K was fantastic with a welcoming crew, fun and energetic. The snorkeling location was filled with fish and turtles. The crew was able to push us into sea caves and under waterfalls under the skilled talents of Captain Mike. Awesome day and highly recommend the gentlemen at Makana charters and tours.

What an amazing time our group of 5 had today! Our captain ‘A’ā and his co-captain Ethan made the excursion even better. We loved the knowledge they shared which was very educational as well as their sense of humour. We got to see the beauty of the Napali Coast, the sea caves, a pod of spinner dolphins and a blue whale. We were so grateful a passenger spotted the dolphins and ‘A’ā turned around so we could see them up close. As well as Ethan spotting the blue whale and ‘A’ā bringing us in to get a closer look. It was a highlight of our trip for our family! I highly recommend them.
