Aloha, Great tour operator. I think crew was Shaun, Elijah, and third guy, all were great, nice commentary. Great trip to see Napali Coast. You must do. I have sea sickness but the crew gave me all the things made me comfortable- this is something you don't see these days. One advice, if you have motion sickness, plan accordingly so you can fill enjoy the boat ride. We saw great dolphins. Mahalo!

We had an amazing day on Amelia K snorkel and cruise on NaPali Coast in Kauai. Communication from the company was good. Parking easy. It is away from the harbor so get there early. They are very organized and efficient. They concentrate on safety and providing a good time for the guests. We saw a pod of dolphins, views of the NaPali cliffs, a short swim and then snorkeling. The snorkeling location wasn’t the best but not the company’s fault. I would definitely do this again.

Amazing tour! Guide was very knowledgeable about the local history and hit every spot around the coast. Highly recommend!

We got to see one of the most beautiful places ever with a wonderful crew and experience. The tour guides were excellent at everything from creating a smooth ride in the boat to showing us literally every inch of the Na Pali coast, teaching history and culture and nature, spotting interesting things on the coast to point out, getting a great snorkeling spot (with sea turtles!), and taking care of each of us. Their largest boat that fits about 30 is perfect for the trip; I get seasick easily and this was the least seasick I've been on a small boat. They were so kind and genuine and fun and knowledgable.

Our family had the most fun and memorable experience yesterday on the Amelia k with Captain Shawn, Jamie and Ethan. The weather was perfect on the way out,which enabled us to go further up the west side of the Napali coast (I think). Sat with pods of dolphins, explored sea caves, snorkeled, got wet under one of many waterfalls, all while taking in the extraordinary cliffs of this beautiful coastline. We then had a fun, wave bumping ride back to the harbor all in 5 hrs! The crew was informative and very funny. I loved their stories of the island where they all were raised and the rich and sacred history of the various points along the coast. Young and old were on the trip and we all returned smiling and laughing! I do have some nice pictures that I’ll post later, just wanted to give my kudos before I forgot!

The crew were awesome and very entertaining! We were fortunate to see dolphins, lots of waterfalls, a few turtles. My only suggestion would be to improve on the lunch, or bring some food for the people reading this - I was hungry before snagging some leftovers from people who didn't end up coming on the trip who had lunches prepared already. Overall it was a great experience!

Amazing tour!! Sean was super knowledgeable, great sense of humor and crazy good skills as captain! His experience made this tour excellent. Charlie was charming and awesome, super kind and friendly and accommodating. She was constantly checking on everyone to make sure we were having the best time we could. Loved our chat while we were cruising out, thank you!! Definitely will be back with this crew and Makana Charters for this breathtaking tour on their SUPER comfortable Sieko II boat!! ALOHA!!

Simply fantastic! Captain and crew were excellent and took into some really cool caves. Good explanations of the sights and history. Very professional! This an absolute must-do tour on island. Best to leave with this operator from Kikiaola Small Boat Harbour, especially if you are staying at the Waimea Plantation Cottages. Just a five minute drive.

Loved the Makana Charters tour! Captain Rhee and Tony were amazing and knowledgeable. We'd definitely book with them again if we were to come back!

From start to finish the tour was fun and full of interesting facts. The captain had a great sense of humor, the boat personnel was really good with answering questions and keeping the liveliness going with the music. Good sandwich, good snorkeling and we actually got to go in several caves with the boat. Fantastic experience. Do know that the boat deliberately travels straight into waves getting some air on the way back to the harbor. Think: not for bad backs.

Amazing experience! The crew Sean, Jamie, and Ethan were all incredibly friendly and funny. This is a MUST do experience if you're on the island, and I highly recommend booking with Makana Charters.

couldn’t have asked for a better crew! jamie, sean, and ethan were absolutely the BEST hosts. Getting shown the island/coast by true native islanders was what made it most special. Every single thing was breathtaking and thrilling! I especially appreciate the history and felt honored to be shown such an amazing place. Would 100% book with this group again and again!!
