Wow. Rode at a time of high surf/surge. “E Ticket” for sure. Expert boat handing over the large waves to see close up caves and rocky coast with beautiful mountains/volcanoes. Exhilarating, very fun ride.

Views are incredible, crew members are really experienced and knowledgeable in history of the island! Even for the person who are afraid of waves, water, boats it will be good experience!

We had an excellent experience with captain Makena, Charlie and Isaiah on the boat tour. Nepali coast is AMAZING! We saw dolphins and a little bit of a whale. They did a great job navigating the north shore swells and explaining Hawaiian history and culture. Awesome experience! Five stars would definitely recommend going. We will come back and do this tour again. Friendly, professional and entertaining.

Amazing experience!

The boat tour with Makana Charters was our favorite activity of our trip!! We had a blast! The whole crew was super cool, super knowledgeable and very laid back and fun. We loved the swimming spot they took us to and was such an amazing moment to see all those dolphins racing us and then watched the whales swimming around too! The boat gets bumpy but that was the fun part lol it was basically a water roller coaster along with a fun playlist of music all trip long. Sandwiches served for lunch were also delicious. I want to thank everyone that made the tour so much fun and special for us. Just a side note: might be a good idea to mention that only paid parking is available in the area. Was a bad surprise to see it was our only option and that we had to pay for it even though we were there for a tour.

This company is a scam. They took about $400 from me and I got NOTHING in return- they did not offer any rescheduling- they just wanted paid and for NOTHING. And Trip Advisor/Viator was even worse. I told my story to them about how the trip was booked on the wrong day and they rejected my request for a refund 5 minutes after I sent the request. There are many tour companies in Hawaii- hopefully this one goes out of business soon so they can stop ripping off customers. Don’t trust a word they say. THEY GET MY MONEY- I GET NOTHING!! Steer clear of these paradise pirates.

We have done many trips to Napali - about 1/2 of them out of the south. We really liked the team and captain with Makena and the fact they can go closer and into the caves etc where the other bigger boats could not. It felt a little more crowded on the smaller boat and not as much freedom to hang out standing like the bigger boats but not overly so.

Ride packed with beautiful scenery—dolphins, mountains, caves, and giant waves.

We went on the Na Pali Kai III. The captain and crew were amazing. They provided lots of information throughout the ride. Due to weather conditions we couldn’t go inside any sea caves or snorkel, but they did take the boat really close to the sea cave and found a calmer spot in the ocean to jump off and swim. So definitely book the tour based on weather if those things are important to you. We had an overcast day, so it was cloudy but it still looked amazing!
