Reviews for Makana Charters

We had an amazing experience with Makena Charters and Captain Mike. We saw three groups of dolphins on our way to the Na Pali coast. Enjoyed hearing first hand about the history of the land and the legacy of its people and got up close to the cliffs to see waterfalls and caves. It was incredible!

Makana Charters was such a great way to explore the Na Pali Coast! Our family loved the boat crew and all the things they showed us (dolphin pods, sea caves, whales (!)) and jumping off the boat into the beautiful Kauai ocean water

We were on a smaller boat with only 16 passengers, which allowed us to get in close to some of the caves and waterfalls along the Na Pali coast line. Captain Sean and first mate were terrific, explaining some of the history of the people who used to live there. We hung with a large pod of dolphins, and stopped to do some leisurely swimming. The excursion included water/soft drinks, a sandwich that you could order ahead of time & chips. Very enjoyable!

What a great tour! The views were gorgeous and the staff was amazing! Dave, Tony, and Lionel were so knowledgeable and friendly! We felt completely safe and learned so much about Hawaiian hiatory. We would definitely recommend this tour. Great for families and the Amelia K. is a great boat...especially in the winter swells. Can't wait for our next trip with them!

We had a great time with the captain and the crew. They were very helpful especially with the families. The front service customer experience was also great.

Such a memorable experience for my girlfriend and I. I’d been to the coast before but never as close as Makana took us. Got some great photos and even got to see dolphins and whales on the journey. 5 stars great job and shout out to captain Shaun and Charlie.

Four of us went on a ride this morning and had a fantastic time. The captain was great - very informative, professional and courteous. We learned quite a bit, saw some incredible views, had a great time snorkeling and the boat ride back was quite the adventure. Definitely recommend these guys - well Worth the price and the whole family gives the a 10 out of 10!

A perfect 10. Weather and sees were calm, captain Sean and Kana were fabulous and knowledgeable about local lore and geology. The Na Pali coast is spectacularly beautiful. The highlight of our Kauai experience.

So much fun! Seeing the Na Pali coast is a must when coming to Kauai and these folks made it so much fun and exciting. We even saw a whale! Looking for a tour company? Look no further! Not only is the captain a local, he can trace his lineage all the way back to the ones that used to live on the coast. Felt good supporting a local business. Have so much fun!!
