Fantastic experience! We loved our boat trip to the Na Pali coast so much! Loved our captain and crew, they were so helpful and knowledgeable of the land- as they are locals. Highly recommend 🙌🏼

Great experience with Mākaha Charters and the crew. He really knows how to drive the boat in an impressive way, navigating the waves to keep the boat steady, and getting us close up to the caves on the coast. The rest of the crew was so friendly and helpful and it was a wonderful trip. Worth every penny for the views and local history.

Our Makana Charters trip along the Nā Pali Coast was absolutely unforgettable. The scenery itself was stunning, and what really made the experience special was Mike, who taught us about the island’s history and culture in a way that felt genuine and heartfelt. Partway through the tour we came across a huge pod of spinner dolphins, easily around a hundred of them, and it was one of those moments you never forget. Lunch was simple but really fresh, with good sandwiches that hit the spot after being out on the water. Overall, we had an amazing day and would definitely recommend Makana Charters to anyone considering it.

My family had a wonderful time on the Amelia K touring the Nepali coast. Gorgeous vistas, charming crew, and a very capable captain. They even hunted down some whales for us to see on the trip home. The boat was very comfortable and the Captain’s knowledge and sharing of the local history was intriguing. We would highly recommend Makana charters.

AVOID THIS TOUR. As other reviews have mentioned - Makana Charters cancelled on us the day right before our tour with no apology, and we had booked with them weeks in advance. They claimed the cancellation was due to the weather, but I called two other Na Pali cruise companies that same day, and they both said that there were no weather concerns and that their cruises were on schedule. Luckily, we were able to book with another tour instead for that same date. The weather was perfect so I don't know what Makana was referring to (although the ride was choppy as already expected). Perhaps Makana didn't fill their booking capacity and opted to cancel, but I might be wrong. The other tour company we went with wasn't fully booked, but they still set sail, and the experience ended up being the highlight of our trip (this other tour included snorkeling which was an unexpected blast!). There are several other locally owned Na Pali cruises available. Save yourself the hassle of being cancelled on by this company and book with another instead. Chances are, you'll be able to find a "Plan B" on short notice if you get cancelled on, but nip this potential inconvenience in the bud and focus on enjoying your vacation instead.

What a fabulous outing! Our Captain piloted our boat with expertise and was a wealth of knowledge about the coast. Charlie was an attentive First Mate who was wonderful at making us all comfortable. All the dolphins were a bonus for a great experience.

The Makana tour was incredible and the captain and team were very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend you use this boat to explore Napali Coast. Thanks for your hospitality Makana, Kana, and Ethan (fabulous singer). Cheers.
