Great experience!! The Captain and crew were fantastic!! If you want to know about the Na Pali coast very informative and interesting. They also had great sense of weather and rearranged the order of the trip, so we could snorkel. Saw so many fish and swam with turtle. Thank you again!!

Captain Makana and his crew made this experience fun, safe, and interesting. They teach you all about the history of the valleys, waterfalls, and caves you are looking at. An extremely professional, safety first crew. Each briefing was straightforward and easy to understand. We lucked out and saw a double rainbow heading back into Port Allen. Amazing experience, thank you again Makana, Ethan, and Elliot.

Had an amazing time on our Na Pali Coast tour. The Captain of the Seiki II exceeded expectations with his skill, especially in the sea caves. Our deck hand played his conch shell in the largest one, a peak experience. The snorkeling was great and we saw a few turtles. A must do while visiting Kauai.

We had an amazing time on our Nepali tour with Captain Tim and his crew member. I feel they went above and beyond to give us all an unforgettable experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauai.

Amazing tour. Highlight of my vacation. Elijah, Liliana, and the owner were some of the nicest people. We chose this tour to make sure we were supporting local and Hawaiian owned and I’m so happy we did. The owner’s great great grandpa grew up on the Napali Coast and listening to that story made this tour so much more special. You can tell they put so much care and love into this tour and I couldn’t have imagined touring with another company. Thank you all so much!

Had a fantastic tour on Amelia K. Absolutely beautiful scenery along with plenty of up close Dolphins. Captain Mike, Elijah, and Lilly were all extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This trip was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. I highly recommend.

Couldn’t have had a better experience! The Nāpali Coast is absolutely stunning — from the dramatic cliffs and waterfalls to the dolphins, turtles, goats, and snorkeling above vibrant coral reefs. We sat near the back of the boat under the shade and had incredible views the entire time. It was much calmer back there, and we didn’t experience any seasickness. The crew truly made the trip — they were so friendly, helpful, and fun to talk with, which made the whole experience even better.

Enjoyed our Napali coast boat tour on 9-19 with Leroy, Lionel and Tim! They were educational and entertaining at the same time. The tour was fun, smooth, and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I have been on several Na Pali Coast tours and the Makana Charters was by far the best of them. Makana and Elijah were great fun and personable. Makana was an excellent captain and we have no idea how he could maneuver the Seiko II boat into those sea caves. Both men presented the history of the Na Pali coast with interesting facts and personal experience. We specifically wanted to book with a Local Hawaiian owned company and we are very glad we did. Definitely worth considering when you are looking for a great Na Pali coast tour and snorkeling adventure.
