We had a great time with Makana Charters! They took great care of us, were very safety-focused, but also kept things fun and extremely informative from a local Hawaiian perspective. We had a great time snorkeling, and of course seeing the picturesque NaPali Coast. And we were lucky enough to catch a perfect rainbow on our way back in!

Incredible day with an incredible crew!! We had the best day of our trip. They had delicious sandwiches and drinks for us and really put their heart and soul into making sure we knew about the culture and history of Kauai. The views were absolutely stunning and the dolphins were a huge bonus! Thank you!!

Our family of 9 had an absolutely amazing trip with Makana Charters up the Napali Coast! Captain A A and his niece were incredible β€” friendly, funny, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about the area. They went out of their way to connect with everyone on board, were fantastic with the kids, and made sure we all felt comfortable and included. The scenery was breathtaking, the atmosphere was fun, and the company’s service was top-notch. Highly recommend Makana Charters for an unforgettable experience!

We had an incredible adventure with Makana charters in Kauai! They were courteous, professional, and SO MUCH FUN. I loved the extra history we were told as we sailed and I was continually impressed by the captain’s maneuvering of the ship on rougher waters at the end of the day. We may have gotten mega splashed but I never felt unsafe. The lunch was perfect and I’m telling you that sandwich was the best ever as we ate it after snorkeling, (and seeing sea turtles!!) admiring the stunning coastline. Our captains also offered excellent beach and food recommendations that turned out to be perfect! Overall it was a 11/10 experience and I would 1000% recommend this charter service!

Excellent adventure with the family. Waters were calm for our morning boat ride. Captain Ah Ah and his niece were great hosts with lots of information and dad jokes. Saw a hundred plus dolphins in a large school along the way. Snorkeling was decent. This is a must for your family to experience.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 What an incredible experience with Makana Charters in Kauai! From the moment we set sail, the stunning views of the coastline took our breath away. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time. The small group size allowed for a personalized experience, making it feel intimate and special. We spotted sea turtles, vibrant marine life, and even a few hidden coves! The highlight was snorkeling in pristine watersβ€”it was an absolute dream! If you're looking for a memorable adventure in Kauai, this boat tour is a must-do! Highly recommend!

The tour was amazing. We saw great views of the Na Pali coast along with awesome experiences going into several caves and tunnels along the way. Makana and Kana we great sharing excellent information and stories about Kaui. They were very attentive to any requests we had and spent the perfect amount of time boating along the coast, pausing to hang with spinner dolphins and snorkling. Everything was fantastic!
