10/10 Experience. We swam with dolphins, turtles, and some really cool fish. The staff was incredible, funny, and very nice. The Na Pali coast is unbeatable.

Booked through Viator for our honeymoon and toured the beautiful island on the Amelia K! The tour guides couldn’t have been nicer or more informative! I was especially pleased as someone who gets motion sickness that I was completely fine on this boat - I did have a patch behind my ear but otherwise felt fine the whole trip. We saw so many dolphins and got to spend time in the ocean with the snorkel gear! We grabbed a bite and drinks after at the Brewery which was walking distance from the drop off. Thanks for a great experience!

Great tour of the Na Pauli coast. We took the Na Pali Kai III which was a 5 hour tour and worth every minute and every cent. The crew consisted of captain Mike, Tony and Ethan and they were great. Super fun and great stories of the coast but the highlight was the amazing views. We started out seeing spinner dolphins and we finished the tour by seeing a whale very close to our boat. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

This was the most amazing experience on a tour I have ever had! The boat was so comfortable, even with turbulent waters! The crew made it so very fun and swimming with 100 spinner dolphins was icing on the cake! I couldn't recommend this tour company enough...I would give it 20 stars!! Mahalo for the best time!

We loved this boat tour. We saw a side of the island we would not have seen, the boat was quite comfortable, and we all had great views. We saw waterfalls, beautiful teal waters, dolphins and whales. Captain Shawn was knowledgeable and the crew made the trip fun. We didn’t snorkel but could see brightly colored fish right from the boat. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

We had an excellent experience with Makana Charters . They were very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable! We had a great time and highly recommend them, it was a highlight of our vacation. We have been to Hawaii many times and this was a great experience! 👍 We saw a huge pod of Spinner dolphins, including several babies right by the boat. Beautiful!

Fabulous trip. We saw a large pod of dolphins. Two humpback whales. Snorkeling was good. Saw a turtle. The captain was great in the wavy ocean. The coast is beautiful. A must do for Kauai.

Makana Charters was absolutely amazing. 10/10. Their level of detail, hospitality and education was exceptional. We had 8 family members ranging from our Papa at 71 to our son at 10, and all left with rave reviews! World class outfit, extremely kid friendly, and just a great crew. We’ll be back for sure! Dolphins, Na Pali Coast, and a few whales to boot. One of the best charters we’ve ever done. Cant recommend it more!

Nice cruise on the Amelia K. to view the Na'pali coastline as well as a serendipitous visit from a group of Spinner dolphins. I have always been prone to motion sickness and warned the Captain ahead of time. He explained that the Amelia K was constructed in a way that would minimize motion and he was right! I came through in ship shape:-). It was an enjoyable ride in every way, many thanks to Captain Mike and crew.

We loved this boat trip. Captain Re and Jay lad a fun, adventurous, and informative tour of the coast. After the big storms, we were one of the first boats out in over a week of heavy seas canceling tours. We had some wind that made the water a bit rough but the captain handled the boat with expert skill. Jay was a wealth of knowledge about the region and Hawaiian history. Top notch trip and highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip along the Na Pali Coast. Absolutely breathtaking views. We were fortunate to see dolphins, turtles, beautiful waterfalls, caves along with the rugged coastline. A definite must while visiting Kaua’i. The crew was very knowledgeable and shared personal family stories and history of the island. Loved the music!

What an incredible experience! Captain A’a and Kona were the absolute best. They were both so kind and fun, and made the trip even better - they navigated some difficult wind waves and handled well (and when my stomach didn’t handle it as well, they checked in on me and made sure I was taken care of). We saw whales, dolphins, turtles, sea caves and of course - the beautiful Nā Pali coast. I would definitely recommend this company, and tour - I’d also recommend following their directions on taking meds for seasickness because you never know what you’ll get on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride!
