Reviews for Makana Charters

Makana boat tour was amazing. The captain was friendly, engaging, funny and relational, and very knowledgeable. The boat crew were exceptional, and helped to provide rich history and insights about the coastland and the Napali Coast with personality, wit and humor. Very entertaining. They found a great snorkel spot that we had to ourselves, which was awesome, because it’s one of the primary reasons we chose the tour. The food was a basic lunch and beverages, but that didn’t matter to us because we didn’t do a boat tour for the food, but for the experience on the ocean. Honestly, don’t pay the extra $75 on other tours for a ‘gourmet’ lunch and alcohol. You can get all that somewhere after the tour. Makana is priced well for the overall experience, and we recommend their tours!

Great trip around the island. The Amelia K was stable and handled the rough water easily. We were lucky enough to see spinner dolphins, humpback whales, a monk seal, sea turtles, and the amazing coastline including closeups of the sea caves.

What a fabulous crew, vessel, and super talented captain! They gave us a riot of a good time, with whales, waves, dolphins, cave crawls, waterfalls, music playlists, boat sammys, history, jokes/stories, snorkel, and wonderful memories were made! The day was beautiful, if you’re looking for a boat with a view, book this trip!

Sean and Lionel were awesome! You could tell they knew what they were doing, and they were also hilarious. The tour was awesome, saw a bunch of sea life, and the coastline was beautiful. The whole thing was a great time. 10/10 would recommend.

We loved our boat tour of the Na Pali Coast with Makana Charters! The captain was extremely skilled and knowledgeable, and the deck hands were very helpful and did a great job sharing information about the Na Pali Coast and history. We saw lots of fish when we snorkeled had so much fun jumping off the boat! This will definitely stand out as one of our favorite days of the year!

Captain Makana and Charlie were amazing! Super personable, fun and excellent at what they do. Despite a large swell and some spotty weather, they backed up into multiple sea caves without even sweating it. Definitely recommend!
