My family had a fantastic voyage aboard the Amelia K. The Napali Coast Tour was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Our guides are locals and made us feel comfortable and safe. Captain Makana and the crew were awesome, I highly recommend this outfit, they are local owned and operated. You will not get a more local experience than Makana Charters and Tours. If you're nervous about sea sickness take your Dramamine the night before and again at least an hour before departure.

Highly recommend for two reasons. The crew was knowledgeable and fun and I felt safe the entire time. And the Amelia K was able to get closer in than other vessels, offering the best experience overall. 10/10

There are so many companies to choose from and had a hard time deciding. So glad we went with Makana’s Amelia Kay. It was the perfect length of time; anything longer would have felt too long. Crew was excellent, safety is a priority, plenty of shade, clean restrooms on board. We got to cruise along a pod of dolphins and made it into the spectacular caves. Morning waters were calm and no one on our boat was sick. The Napali Coast is truly breathtaking. Highly recommend as a must do in Kauai!

The trip to see the Na Poli coast was absolutely incredible and Makana Charters was excellent! The process to check in and board the boat was easy and effortless, the ship captain and guides were amazing and knew so much about the area. If you tend to get seasick at all you will definitely need a patch from your doctor. The ship gets extremely rocky and half of my family was out of commission trying not to get sick but I was fine because of the patch. Highly recommend!

the crew, Capt. Makana, Kana, and Liliana, were awesome and very hospitable to everyone on board! they made sure everyone was safe at all times by helping us take our trash/recycle when the conditions were a little choppy. Kana and Liliana kept the energy up and made this trip so much fun. they gave lots of facts about their island of Kauai, which made us appreciate their culture so much more. easy parking with this crew as well. and yo, Capt. Makana is a straight up BAWSSS with his boat. inches away from hitting the walls in the caves!

Beautiful tour of the Na Pali coast, we saw spinner dolphins and went snorkeling. Locally owned, we learned about the land and wildlife and had a lot of fun! Definitely a bucket list experience.

Ours Makani charter of the Na Pali coast was outstanding. The so enjoyed the incredible beauty of the coastline & mountains. We are a family of 11, grandparents, adult children & spouses & 5 grandchildren. Each & every person had an amazing time. Our captain Makani was informative about the land & the ocean & shared so much information with us. Charlie was a wonderful crew member. She was incredible with our grandchildren. I would highly recommend this company as well as this crew.
