This was the highlight of our trip! An unforgettable experience!! Would recommend to all our friends and family heading to Kauai. Everyone at Makana Charters was top notch! They made the trip super safe, fun, streamline and memorable. We saw incredible wildlife including dolphins and whales and the Napali Coast was breathtaking! Could not have asked for a better tour!

We had an amazing time on our trip to the Na Pali Coast. The entire team was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. They made the experience both fun and informative, and we felt well taken care of the entire time. It was truly unforgettable. We highly recommend the Amelia K tour group.

Great trip to view Spinner dolphins, whales, and the beautiful Na’pali coast. Crew was great, getting boat into tight spaces and imparting lots of knowledge about the landscape and the sea life we encountered. Highly recommend this tour!

The crew was phenomenal - a wealth of information and facts, kind, and overall a great time! I am someone who gets motion sick easily and had no issues at all. The boat was great! We were able to see dolphins and whales from the boat and sea turtles while snorkeling. And these were just bonuses after seeing the beautiful Napali coast!!! Can’t recommend enough!!

Epic Whale watch and Snorkle Molokini with captain Matt and First mate Shelby. The knowledge of the Whales was great and the captain knew exactly where to go. Front row seats to breaches pods of whales. The boat was smooth. We went on the Raft out of Kihei Harbor. Easy parking free. And easy on and off boats with bathrooms and showers. The food was great. The whole day was the best boat experience so far on Maui. Good music good times. Absolutely a deal for everything they do for you. I tipped the crew $40 because I was so thrilled.

The trip was absolutely amazing and everyone aboard was knowledgeable and I learned so much. They provided lunch and offered me with a gluten free choice which was so kind. The trip itself was smooth and we saw so much. we went through batches of dolphins, jumped in and snorkeled in a cove and then went to find whales which was humbling. Over all from start to finish it was an amazing, just so amazing. I highly recommend

We had an amazing experience on the Amelia K. The Captain and crew were informative and friendly. They love their jobs. The history of the land and people along with the pod of dolphins and numerous whale stings made this a trip of a lifetime.

The experience was majestic, more than any so than any other on the island we’ve shared with our family over the past 30 years.

(Translated by Google) UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE We had an incredible day! The staff was super friendly, we saw dolphins, whales, and a sperm whale!!! The trip was very smooth, and we took our time at each stop to enjoy ourselves (dolphins, snorkeling, etc.). In short, 10/10! Thank you so much! (Original) EXPÉRIENCE INOUBLIABLE On a passé une journée incroyable, le staffe était super gentil, nous avons vu des dauphins, des baleines, un cachalot !!! La sortie était super fluide on prenait bien le temps à chaque arrêt de profiter (dauphins, Snorkeling..) bref 10/10 Merci infiniment

Incredible tour, and incredible tour guides. Wildlife and scenery were incredibly beautiful. Went into caves, saw whales and dolphins. Very fun speeding along the water. I got a tad seasick and still would do the tour over again, the views and memories are totally worth it.

Wow 😲 Truly the highlight of our trip! We saw many whales, thousands of dolphins! We had about an hour for snorkeling (all gear provided) and lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed God’s wondrous creations. #HowgreatThouart It was an awe inspiring, even a spiritual experience. Everyone on the tour was smiling, I even shed a few happy tears. The crew, Amelia K boat and amenities were perfect. The crew has great social skills and spent time with each of us while answering our many questions. I appreciated the fun, respectful crew. No foul stories or language. Music was fun and the right volume. They shared a love for and respect for the history of the island, very informative. They have perfected this business. So glad we did this 5 hour experience compared to short helicopter ride. Will save that for another time.
