It was an amazing experience!!! We went on the Seiko 1 boat… crew of Captain A’A, Jamie and Jada were fantastic, cliffs and ocean were absolutely spectacular, and we even saw 2 sea turtles while snorkeling!!! It got windy on the way back and we had a rough return, but it was really fun if you like bumpy type rides. It was our groups absolute favorite activity of our whole trip!!!

We loved our boat ride on the Amelia K! Staff was knowledgeable and took time to chat and get to know everyone on the ride. We were lucky enough to have an afternoon ride with so many rainbows on our return home we couldn’t capture them all. It will definitely be a life long memory!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Every detail was thought of and the crew was amazing! Besides learning about the beautiful Hawaiian culture, the captain stopped so we could see a pod of 100+ dolphins. Two had week-old babies with them with! Then we were treated to an impromptu flyover by one of the military planes that appeared to be practicing their landing skills nearby. An unforgettable experience that I highly recommend!

We booked the 8 o’clock tour. Trip was pleasant but they forgot to make my lunch and did not apologize for their mistake.

We had such an amazing time on our Nā Pali Coast tour with Makana Charters! The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day so much fun. We saw so much wildlife, huge pods of dolphins (including babies!), a monk seal, and several sea turtles. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the boat was comfortable and well-kept. Everything felt relaxed but well-organized, and we never felt rushed. Truly a highlight of our trip to Kauaʻi, highly recommend!

We just recommended your services to some people we met on way headed your way. We told them you guys were very professional knowledgeable and had a great great situation there showing people around the area in the water and that they would never regret it. It was the best tour we had the captain and others were off the charts! Worth every penny!

Great trip to the Na’pali coast! Everything about the trip was excellent from the boat tour the crew to the overall experience. Even the ride back to the dock was a blast. Would highly recommend.

If you're going to the Island of Kauai this is not to be missed! I can say this is maybe the best tour I've been on anywhere. Of course, the dramatic sites are the main attraction but the tour is very well done. Pay close attention to their specific instructions prior to arrival. Have the right gear with you & don't party to hard the night before and take your dramamine! They do everything well right down to the small details. Like the non-slip padded flooring on the boat to make moving around safe & comfortable. The bathroom is clean & comfortable. The snorkeling gear is great, they even clean you off with fresh water when you get out of the water! No wonder why so many movies are filmed there!

It was an incredible venture to the Napali coast. I was in awe of the sights. Captain Rob and crew were the best in handling everything on the boat. Captain Rob is an expert driver. A 10 out of 10 trip.

Capt Makana and crew were the best. My family had an amazing time. This is the charter you want because their boats go faster than all the other boats we saw out there and so you get more time to explore the caves and less sea sick from the rollers.

Other than flying, the Amelia K seems like the fastest way to the Napili Coast. Our crew was excellent, informative and friendly. Captain Mike was obviously extremely skilled with this boat for a fantastic experience and photo ops.
