Reviews for Makana Charters

The Amelia K took my husband and me on an amazing Journey to view the Nā Pali coast, a truly extraordinary experience. There was snorkeling, pods of dolphins (100’s of them jumping and spinning! Babies too!), and spectacular scenery - what more could one want? The crew and staff were FANTASTIC - from the booking process, to check-in, and throughout the cruise. All were helpful, pleasant, and happy to share their knowledge of this wonderful coast and island. We highly recommend this tour!

We had an awesome time on Makana charters snorkel / tour trip of the Napoli coastline. We boarded around 8am, did some snorkeling and then cruised up the coast. The crew did a great job talking about the land and making sure that all passengers were well taken care of. Plenty of soda and waters along the way, and a simple but tasty lunch of chips and sandwiches was provided. We encountered several hundred spinner dolphins which was a real treat. Highly recommend this tour to others! It was one of the highlights of Our trip.

Truly outstanding. A peak experience of my life. I’ve been to all of the Hawaiian islands, done the road to Hana, the sunrise at Haleakala with the bike ride down the mountain and they were all incredible but this experience was definitely in my top 3.

Wonderful view, lovely dolphins, in depth knowledge of the coast and nice timing. Just be prepared that you may get seasick. Friendly and helpful crew. Highly recommend it.

If I could give more stars I would. Makana himself and the crew, sorry forgot the names, treated the whole boat full of guests like Ohana/family. They work hard but appear to really enjoy their workdays on the seas of the otherworldly Na Pali coast. They were so hospitable! and so knowledgeable with respect towards conservation of the island! The Na Pali coast is itself breathtaking, rising more than 4,000 feet from sea level. It features the second tallest sea cliffs in the world after Molokai. Go! Their power catamaran is nice, new, and I always felt safe. Be prepared to get wet but this is part of the fun. If you have a propensity towards motion sickness, take your meds and go anyway! The trip is fanfreakintastic. I don't work for them. I wasn't paid to write this, lol, but I used to work in hospitality for over a decade. Complaints are voiced so often that compliments need to be mentioned more often.

A 5 star experience! You could tell the crew was committed to respecting and protecting the ocean and wildlife (they even took a detour to fish some trash out of the water) and that safety was a top priority. The tour was fun, engaging, and informative while still giving plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the spectacular views. Conditions didn’t permit for us to snorkel or explore any of the caves, but we did get to hang out with some dolphins that swam up to the boat and we did get a chance to swim a bit!

From the moment we parked and checked in, the whole crew was amazing, friendly, kind, very informative. This was the best trip ever. It was everything we hoped for in experiencing, for the first time… the Majestic Napali Coast. Mahalo to all

The crew was fantastic, attention to detail and making sure everybody always had what they needed to make the trip enjoyable. The captain was very knowledgeable and very skilled at the helm. I’ve been on the saltwater my whole life, and he made me feel completely at ease. I would recommend this specific boat and crew to anyone that wants to see the Na Pali coast. Unsurpassed in quality..

Amazing tour, breathtaking views from Nā Pali and the crew was great! The captain shared some interesting information about certain areas. We saw hundreds of dolphins which made the trip even more spectacular! The provided lunch tasted like glory to me, probably because I was way too hungry but nonetheless it was good! 😜
