Ethan, Captain Shawn, and Kaiao made our Nā Pali Coast boat tour such an amazing experience. Even with gloomy weather, their energy, kindness, and professionalism completely made up for it. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and always made sure everyone felt safe and taken care of. You can tell they genuinely care about what they do and the people on board. Highly recommend, this crew truly goes above and beyond. (: grateful for this experience!

Great experience with a crew that went above and beyond. We were lucky enough to have humpback whales breaching in the area too, so that was a bonus. Captain narrated the trip with specifics on the Na Pali coast and Hawai’i culture. It was all good, would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time on the Amelia. The crew members were so wonderful. This was our second NaPali trip as a family and it far exceeded our first. The captain has some mad skills and showed us some very very up close spots. 10/10.

This trip was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and exciting. From the boat ride to and from the back side of Kauai and the beauty and majesty of the cliffs of the Napili coast, to the awesome color and clarity of the water, we enjoyed our time on this excellent excursion. The captain and crew were very fun and gracious and attentive to our needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend Makana Charters to anyone looking to explore the Napili Coast of Kauai. Mark & Carie H.

Our family enjoyed seeing all the wildlife on our way to the Na Pali coastline. The mother humpback with her new calf was a highlight, but we also saw turtles, goats and monk seals, a real bonus. Of course the coastline was as beautiful as ever!

Capt. Mike and crew were incredible. We did a Na’Pali coast tour aboard the Amelia K. Crew and boat were top notch. Ocean swells were real but we were comfortable the entire time. Crew was funny, informative while being safety and comfort focused. Captain Mike put us on two large dolphin pods and a humpback whale siting. In high seas, we got up close to caves under a water fall. I have done several of these tours, Makana Charters was the best by far.

It was an amazing trip! We were able to see a mother humpback whale and her new calf up close. Even though the weather was not perfect, the scenery was spectacular. The crew was wonderful and very knowledgeable of the area and took very good care of us.

This is NOT just another boat tour! The history and beauty of of Na Pali area are as spectacular as the care of the staff on board to share their love of their state and their island. Special attention is made to show you wildlife in the area and to give tribute to their ancestors. They provide interesting information about the area and can answer any question you ask. Would recommend you new and previous visitors to the island. Don’t miss it!
