Reviews for Makana Charters

10/10 no notes. Seriously incredible experience! Captain Rob, Elijah, and Lily were amazing. Elijah was super knowledgeable and shared some fascinating history with us. Captain Rob went inside caves, handled the boat flawlessly, and got us to a perfect snorkeling spot. We saw whales and dolphins which was a blast. Highly recommend!

Our experience with Makana Charters was exceptional! We went snorkeling, saw some whales and throughly enjoyed the sights and sounds of the day! Lunch was simple but it really hit the spot and the variety of drinks made sure there was something for everyone. Highly recommend Captain Makana, Uncle Lionel and Ezekiel to give you an adventure you will treasure forever!

Captain and crew did an excellent job. They took good care of us and provided a fun afternoon out on the Pacific. Seeing Humpback whales late in the season was an added bonus.

Absolutely breathtaking! We loved it!

It was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend it to everyone as the crew on the boat and the amenities were perfect. Captain Mike was great and his two crew members were fantastic as well. The sites were amazing from the boat and as choppy as the water was the crew made us feel safe and it was still an enjoyable experience.

Our Na Pali Coast charter with Makana was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip. We’ve done a larger boat tour in the past, but the smaller catamaran made this experience feel so much more personal and immersive—it’s absolutely the way to go. Our captain was an absolute pro, confidently navigating the coastline and handling the water like it was nothing. We were able to get into three sea caves, which was incredible and something we never could have done on a bigger boat. On top of that, we saw tons of spinner dolphins up close—such a cool bonus. The crew really made the trip special. They were friendly, attentive, and full of great stories and local history that added so much depth to what we were seeing. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. Highly recommend Makana Charters if you want a more intimate, adventurous Na Pali experience.

Mike and his crew were fantastic. The boat and the accommodations were first class and the experience was spectacular. They bring a native Hawaiian flavor to the whole adventure and had all the finishing touches from custom-made lunches and unique cultural insights. Highly recommend this experience.

Great experience; better than excepted! The view of the island is breathtaking. The captain and staff - professional, humorous, and educational mix was excellent. I was nervous and they made me feel safe and made it so much fun! It was worth every penny spent. You will tip well because they deserve it.

This was such an amazing experience. Honestly, just surreal views and great history. Mike and his crew were the absolute best! If you’re in Kauai for vacation this is a must do!

We enjoyed our ride! Makana was our captain and he was an excellent tour guide. The crew on board were friendly and had a lot of knowledge about the Hawaiian culture and landscape. Remember to pack a towel...the water was pretty calm for us but there was still a bit of spray at times. An excellent way to explore the sea caves and beaches inaccessible by land!
