Captain Mike and his crew were great. They shared their personal stories of being born and raised on the island and their many generations of history. The Hawaiian music was a great background. He maneuvered the boat into several caves for an up close and exciting experience. He found clear calm water for us to enjoy an ocean swim. It was a wonderful day.

The experience was amazing. The catamaran was very clean. It was smaller than other tours which was great. It allowed our group to go into coves, waterfalls, and closer to the coast. The guides were so kind and helpful. We had a great time.

Ethan, Captain Shawn, and Kaiao made our Nā Pali Coast boat tour such an amazing experience. Even with gloomy weather, their energy, kindness, and professionalism completely made up for it. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and always made sure everyone felt safe and taken care of. You can tell they genuinely care about what they do and the people on board. Highly recommend, this crew truly goes above and beyond. (: grateful for this experience!

Great experience with a crew that went above and beyond. We were lucky enough to have humpback whales breaching in the area too, so that was a bonus. Captain narrated the trip with specifics on the Na Pali coast and Hawai’i culture. It was all good, would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time on the Amelia. The crew members were so wonderful. This was our second NaPali trip as a family and it far exceeded our first. The captain has some mad skills and showed us some very very up close spots. 10/10.

This trip was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and exciting. From the boat ride to and from the back side of Kauai and the beauty and majesty of the cliffs of the Napili coast, to the awesome color and clarity of the water, we enjoyed our time on this excellent excursion. The captain and crew were very fun and gracious and attentive to our needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend Makana Charters to anyone looking to explore the Napili Coast of Kauai. Mark & Carie H.

Our family enjoyed seeing all the wildlife on our way to the Na Pali coastline. The mother humpback with her new calf was a highlight, but we also saw turtles, goats and monk seals, a real bonus. Of course the coastline was as beautiful as ever!
