Wonderful day! Great crew. They shared a lot of the history of the island and the customs of their ancestors. Plus showed us a really good time!

Our tour on the NaPali Kai III yesterday was amazing. Captain Rob was very informative and did a great job driving the boat.Tim and Tony were awesome. They were attentive to the passengers, they were really knowledgeable they told great storiesand they made the whole trip really fun. Tim even got the whole boat to sing Happy Birthday to me. The views were breathtaking and the snorkeling was great. I would highly recommend this your tour to anyone.

We had an amazing tour with Captain Rob, Tim and Tony. They stopped along the way so we could watch the dolphins. They pointed out the seals on the beach and the goats on the cliffs. They stopped and took photographs of all of us, and provided information on all the sights. Captain Rob somehow managed to navigate our boat into several tight caves that were magnificent. The lunch was nice and we had ample time to snorkel and see the turtles and many colorful fish. The boat was super comfortable and had partial shad and a bathroom. We were all glad we did not take a zodiac tour after seeing them along the way. Definitely take this tour and you won't be disappointed!

The tour guides were very personable and loved to talk to the guests. They obviously love their jobs and were very energetic and interesting to listen to about the island’s history.

I looked at every Na Pali Coast boat tour company and decided on Makana. I am so glad I did. It was amazing and exceeded my expectations! It was more beautiful in real life, all the employees were kind and educated. We seen waterfalls, tons of dolphins, sea turtles, sea caves, went into a sea cave and the trip didnt feel rushed. I felt safe the whole time and it was a smooth ride. It was my first time snorkeling and they made me feel safe and comfortable. There were all kinds and colors of fish! The trip was a blast and I would give more stars if I could. If i visit again I will do it again through Makana and recommend them. Its a MUST!

Love our cruise with Makana. Captn Mike was very enlightening about Kauai history. As a native he brings his love of this island to his narratives. The crew was very polite and helpful. The drive in to the caves made it for us. And that last 180 inside the cave at the end was awesome. Highly recommended!!

The boat ride, scenery, tour and activities were beyond beautiful and wonderful! The thrill of a lifetime. But somehow, Captain A’a and mate Charlie managed to make it so much more than that!! The thoughtful sharing of their experiences and knowledge made it very personal. A spiritual experience for sure! 🤙

One of the most amazing experiences on my trip to Kauai. 10 out of 10 highly recommend. Booking was easy, parking directions were clear & easy to find. Captain Sean & Lionell were so much fun & gave an exceptional tour. They also took great care of everyone aboard the Seiko II. The Na Pali coast is absolutely magically and I really appreciated the culture sharing and story telling from these two as well. If you are on the fence, just book the trip with Makana Charters, you'll be so glad you did.

So good, we’ve done it twice! From sharing the history of the islands to exploring the majestic NaPali Coast, Makana Charters is simply the best. Captain A’a and Charlie were excellent hosts and attentive to everyone’s needs throughout the day. This experience is a must-do during your trip to Kauai, and no other crew does it better! Mahalo nui loa, Makana Charters, for making this another fun and memorable trip. We can't wait for the next one!

My husband and I thought this excursion was definitely one of our favorites on the island. The crew was sincerely friendly. Snorkeling was perfect, got to see Dolphins, Flying Fish, and Sea Turtles. Boat ride was a lot of fun, great memories!

Crew was friendly and the Napali coast tour was awesome. We saw dolphins, went in caves, under water falls and got an hour on snorkeling.
