Returned home in celebration for a birthday. Had a blast on Leialoha w/Captain Rhiannon and Jay were awesome. 20 outta 10 would recommend. We lucked out on one of the calmest days one could get on a trip. Morning trip turned dolphins, seacaves, waterfalls. To think I've only done this once. Makana Charters all day. Only thing I'm missing is a sun shirt but office was closed when I dropped by. It's ok, beautiful experience either way.

Promote local business . Energetic and enthusiastic crew. They love their job . Super clean boat and restrooms . They make u leave your footwear on the dock before boarding. Water was turbulent hence snorkeling was cancelled by the lead but he did take it to calm water for folks to swim and jump from top of the boat. Amazing overall .

Fun time. Organized with fairly clear narratives. Snorkeling and swimming off boat fun, but snorkeling was less than mediocre with few fish in that location or possibly due to changes from hurricane Lala.

Captain Rob, Leroy, & Jasmine from Makana Charters did an amazing job at making our trip memorable! It was a perfect mix of chatting, snorkeling, and simply enjoying the boat ride with reggae music in the background! I would do it again and wish I had more to tip them!

Literally so so so amazing. Charlie and Dave were the absolute best. The boat tour is not only one of the most beautiful places but having them as our crew made it even more comfortable and enjoyable. Will recommend this company and tour to anyone who goes to Kauai

We had a wonderful trip. Although there were some concerns about the tropical storms we had truly an amazing day. Water was great, guides were knowledgeable of the area and were very helpful in nothing we needed on the trip. Great job guys!

Wonderful Nāpali coast tour on Amelia 8-23-26. The captain and crew were all knowledgeable about the history and sites that we saw. We were not able to snorkel due to the weather however the Captain found us a spot to jump in and swim a little. We saw so many dolphins to make this tour a must do while in Kauai.

We were on the Amelia K for a Napali Coast tour in the afternoon - the boat is great and the staff even better. Shout out to Iliana and Jasmine who kept everyone well fed, safe and told us all about the history, traditions and gave us tips for making the best of our stay in Kauai. The boat is very stable and comfortable even after some stormy weather. Highly recommend Makana Charters!

The staff was great, the tour was amazing!! We’ve been on a lot of sunset cruises around the world and this one was a top 10, with the exception of the food. I understand not having alcohol but for what we paid the food was really bad!

An inspiring day of spectacular scenery and natural beauty made possible by the seafaring expertise of Captain A’alona and his mate, Kaiao. Add to that their knowledge of history, culture, folklore, and the sea and surroundings. What kind care they gave us! And we got to go inside sea caves and saw loads of fish while snorkeling. It was an incredibly fine day!

You’ve seen the photos. You know what you’re going to see. What you don’t see is the amazing folks who work to allow you to take the photos, snorkel, and check the Na Pali Coast off your bucket list. My recent tour with Makana Charters on the Amelia K was a top 5 life experience (and I’ve done some pretty cool stuff). From arrival to returning to the dock it was flawless execution. The weather cooperated so we got the full experience, without any seasickness. The crew was simply outstanding. I cannot recommend this business enough. You will not regret a Makana Charters boat tour!
