Reviews for Makana Charters

An outstanding tour of the Na Pali Coast! Beyond the stunning scenery, we were fortunate to see incredible wildlife—numerous whales (including three calves), dolphins, fish, and a sea turtle. The guides were both engaging and entertaining, and they shared wonderful insights into Hawaiian history and culture throughout the trip.

Went on the afternoon cruise and had a wonderful time! Beautiful scenery, Hawaiian history, wildlife…and the crew was fabulous. They watched out for each person’s safety while also making sure that everyone was able to move to different points on the boat. I would definitely do this again! Thank you for a wonderful trip!

The crew was amazing, friendly and to get some history about the island was great as well. Will definitely be back and go out with them again.

AMAZING!!!! If you want to experience the Napali Coast up close and personal this is the way to go. An incredible crew that is so knowledgeable of Hawaiian history and culture as well as the most stunning views! They take you right in to the caves and we even went into a waterfall! Just incredible! I highly recommend Makaha Charters and the Amelia K!

We had the pleasure of taking the Napali boat tour aboard the Amelia K on March 7th, 2026, and it was magical. From the boat ride to the historical insights, caves, music, incredible crew, and whale watching, I'd say this is a "must-do" in Kauai! Thank you Captain Mike and the crew, Tony and Lily! You guys definitely know how to showcase Kauai and Hawaii's culture.

Such a great charter! The crew was funny and knowledgeable, we went into caves, explored Na Pali, got some history, snorkeled, jumped off the top of the boat, saw lots of dolphins, and even whales (in early March). We did the morning trip and the waves were not bad and we had a great time. Would recommend to anyone!

The absolute best experience i have had on a boat. The captain and crew were so friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. The beautiful views from the waters to the spinning dolphins 🐬 to the whales 🐋 was amazing. Lunch was provided as well as soft drinks. If you wanted to snorkel or swim time was provided for that. The beautiful music and peaceful ambiance

We had a fantastic experience with Makana Charters as a family. The crew was engaging the entire time and made us feel confident in their ability and safe. They answered all the questions we had and made easy conversation. Since it was during whale season, we came across some whales and got to see moms with their babies- which was a magical addition. We enjoyed all the music choices, they were perfect for each moment of the journey (the Moana music made us tear up). You are on a boat and will definitely get wet at some point. The Nāpali coast was breathtaking and seeing it while hearing some of the history of the land and people made it even more impactful.

The crew was phenomenal - a wealth of information and facts, kind, and overall a great time! I am someone who gets motion sick easily and had no issues at all. The boat was great! We were able to see dolphins and whales from the boat and sea turtles while snorkeling. And these were just bonuses after seeing the beautiful Napali coast!!! Can’t recommend enough!!
