Great day on the water. The guides were great. The boat had everything we needed and we had an amazing time. The coastline is awesome and the captain was able to teach us a ton of cultural and historical facts. I think there was urine all over the boat with everyone wetting their pants over the wildlife. We saw turtles, a monk seal, hundreds of spinner dolphins that came right up to the boat and tons of whales. The highlight was seeing a mom and her baby playing and breaching the water. Definitely worth the trip.

Highly recommend Makana Charters, Captain John, and first mate Tony! We had a bluebird day, but it was still quite rough out there. Definitely take your seasickness meds seriously! Captain John did a very impressive job of smoothing the ride as best he could, and his driving skills were on full display when we backed into one of the caves. SUPER exciting, entertaining, and a great way to see the Napali Coast. We did both the helicopter tour, and this boat tour. If I had to pick one, I’d pick the Makana boat tour. Pictures just can’t do it justice!

It was an amazing tour! The crew was so professional, they were very attentive to every passenger on the boat, told many interesting facts and made the trip entertaining and fascinating! While our tour we saw sea turtles, several kinds of dolphins, and even whales! It was truly incredible! The boat is sailing so smooth that you will not feel any seasickness. I really love the tour and will book from Makana charters again!

Run don't walk to take a cruise with Makana Charters!!!! My husband and I had the best afternoon with captains Tim and Leroy! We loved every minute of our adventure. We were blessed with the sight of many whales, dolphins and the most beautiful Napi coast! Both captains were so kind and treated everyone as honored guests. Leroy did the best job teaching us about the history of the Hawaiian people on the Napi coast.It was fascinating and BEAUTIFUL! Thank you Captains Tim and Leroy for a special memorys we will never forget!!

Everything was great. The crew was fun, but yet professional, and they were very informative about what we were seeing. The snorkeling was great! The snorkeling equipment was great! We saw lots of whales and dolphins, and the ride over the waves was truly a Hawaiian roller coaster.

What an amazing tour. Staff was so friendly and informative. The boat was comfortable. Group of about 40 with sandwiches, drinks and chips included. The boat was able to get up close to the coast and we had amazing views. We were so lucky to see dozens of dolphins and several whales. This was one of the best tours we have been on.
