Reviews for Makana Charters

The Makana boat tour was amazing! I highly recommend it. Seeing the island from the boat was whole new unforgettable experience! Everyone should do it. The crew was great and very informative about what we’re were seeing. Do it if you can!

What a great time. our Captain Shawn and Lionel were awesome. So knowledgeable about the Napali coast and the history of Polynesian culture. We did sight several whales breaching but they were busy underwater that day. Highly recommend this activity when in Kuaui. Thank you for a fantastic experience.

10/10 recommend!! Definitely coming back on my next trip to Kauai. This excursion made my first trip to the island an ethereal experience.

This tour was absolutely amazing! The staff were incredible, funny and informative. We saw multiple humpbacks and schools of spinner dolphins. We were brought into a cave and (optionally) soaked by a natural waterfall, and had a great light lunch. I would absolutely recommend this tour for an Oceanside breathtaking view of the Na Pali coastline.

Makana Charters was great to work with as we rescheduled once due to rough waters. Our charter was led by Tim, Tony, and Ethan, and they were all incredibly knowledgeable about safety, history, and customer service. We were lucky to see dolphins, whales, a sea turtle, and the far edge of the coast thanks to good conditions. The sunset cruise can be chilly and all may have rain pockets, so I recommend bringing a waterproof/windbreaker jacket with you. Leave the hats at home unless they strap to your head or you’ll end up gifting it to the ocean.

We had a great time on the Makana afternoon charter! The boat is awesome! The guides are wonderful and the Napoli coast is amazing. The history and details of the area are top notch. Thank you Makana and the Amelia crew!

The seiko. We had to keep moving the date because it was unsafe. I appreciated that they told me it was unsafe and didn’t just go out to make money. I wanted to come back alive! The seiko is a smaller boat and so it is likely rougher than the bigger boats. I ended up puking. Even in spite of all of my medicines. But I kind of expected that. I get motion sickness just swimming in the ocean. In spite of that, I am so glad I did it. Once in a lifetime opportunity. To see the other side of the island. And to see the beautiful landscapes that are prevalent in Jurassic Park. Out of this world beautiful! And I didn’t expect it but we also saw whales and dolphins! The dolphins like jumped and spun right in front of us! It was magical. I highly recommend doing this at least once in your life.

Our boat ride was incredible! The captain and his first mate were extremely knowledgeable about the island and the sea life we encountered! I would definitely do this again!
