Reviews for Makana Charters

Incredible Nā Pali Coast day with Makana Charters! Dolphins, whales, and an amazing crew who took such great care of everyone—even those battling motion sickness. Swells were around 5 feet, but our experienced captain made it a fantastic ride. Highly recommend 🐬🐋

Gifted my son this adventure for Christmas. He loved it. The boat, the scenic views the hosts. He thought it was great!

Cancelled my boat trip with 3 days notice because they decided not to work that day. Would not offer to rebook. This reservation was booked 3 months in advance. Terrible business practices.

Don’t leave Kauai before booking a Na Pali Coast tour with Makana Charters. They have the friendliest captain and crew. In addition to the coastal and cave tour, the captain also prioritized wildlife watching including whales, dolphin pods, sea turtles, and even cliff goats. We also stopped for a refreshing swim. Highly recommend the morning tour. The experience was very accommodating, informative, funny, and overall a fun day. The experience would not have been the same if it were not for such an amazing crew. Don’t miss out!

(Translated by Google) The staff was amazing, the scenery breathtaking, the captain went close to the reefs and the cave which allowed us to have an incredible experience!!! The price was well worth it, I highly recommend it!! (Original) Le personnel était extraordinaire, le paysage à couper le souffle, le capitaine est allé près des récifs et de la grotte ce qui nous a permis de vivre une expérience inouïe!!! Le prix en valait largement la peine je recommande fortement!!

Amazing Nā Pali Coast Experience with Makana Charters! We had an unforgettable time with Makana Charters on their Nā Pali Coast tour in Kauai. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Seeing the dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and pristine coastline was incredible—but the highlight was spotting whales and dolphins along the way! Watching them in their natural habitat made the experience even more magical and memorable. If you’re visiting Kauai and want a top-notch Nā Pali Coast tour with a great crew and a chance to see amazing marine life, I highly recommend Makana Charters. Truly a must-do experience! 🌊🐋🐬

We had an amazing experience doing the Na Pali coast boat tour! Captain Rob and his crew were the best. We got lucky with the weather and calm seas and were able to experience the awesome sea caves and snorkeling as well. Highly recommend doing the morning tour, we saw lots of dolphins and even whales which was the highlight for kids. The tour was very informative with the crew sharing interesting history and stories from Hawaiian culture. Mahalo Makana charters for a truly memorable trip!

We went on this tour yesterday, and I truly believe it will be the highlight of our honeymoon! We had an incredible crew—Makana, Eli, and Ethan—who brought amazing energy, deep knowledge, and a great sense of humor. They made the trip both entertaining and a true adventure. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, whales, a shark, and even a large sea turtle that swam directly underneath us while snorkeling—absolutely unforgettable. Learning about the history was equally powerful, especially hearing about the Valley of the Kings and exploring inside the caves. What stood out most was the opportunity to connect with the guides between sites. Ethan shared meaningful insights about his Hawaiian heritage, while Eli offered fascinating knowledge about fishing and how the Polynesians discovered and settled the land. Every story and detail added so much depth to the experience. Everything we saw and learned was captivating. These guys made the tour incredibly enriching, and we cannot recommend it highly enough!
