Best trip ever! Captain Sean, Kai and Charlie were great hosts. Incredible scenery and a great way to see the Napali coast. Snorkeling was so fun too! We’ve been with another company….Makana Amelia K is by far superior!

We did the Na Pali Coast tour with Makana in mid-February and we would highly recommend. The crew was wonderful from start to finish. Professional but like one big family that loves their land. Make sure to take their advice and tips prior to the tour for potential seasickness and what to expect - they live this and breathe it; they know what they are talking about! We experienced the beauty of Na Pali and incredible wildlife spotting (whales, dolphins, spotted ray, goats, birds, etc.) all in one package deal. Just book them!!!

This is a must do!!! Captain Makana and crew were excellent. This was a very organized, well thought out trip. The views are amazing. We went in sea caves. We saw lots of dolphins up close. Saw a couple sea turtles and even whales! We snorkeled in a beautiful area and they even provided all the drinks you wanted and a lunch. Just book it. You’ll have no regrets!

First and foremost, thank you to Sean, Ky, and Charlie! They were an awesome crew to have on the charter and I’m glad this is the one we chose. We were lucky to see whales, dolphins, turtles and more. Glad we got to snorkel and jump off the roof of the boat! Top notch crew and experience, would definitely come back and book with them.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Captain Rob, Lionel and Ethan were amazing guides and very kind. We were able to snorkel off of the boat and Lionel took it upon himself to show me how to do it as I never had before! Mahalo.

We couldn’t have had a better experience! The captain and crew made us feel like family. They were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. They shared the culture, history and traditions as we moved along the coast. The boat was just the right size for the experience we wanted and small enough to get into the sea caves, which was amazing!! The snorkeling was a highlight! We will definitely choose Makana next time we visit this beautiful island .

Absolutely amazing! Our captain was so good navigating that I’m sure other cruises were jealous of where we got to go. And I finally saw a whale!

Great trip along Napali coast - took us into caves and explained history of the formations we saw; stopped to see a pod of dolphins swimming beside the boat as well as saw a few whales; we stopped for lunch and snorkeling in a beautiful spot. It was a great trip - highly recommend - staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable ⭐️⭐️

Great tour, great team running the boat. They kept things fun and had my kids laughing the whole time. We felt very safe even on those gnarly ocean swells!

Perfect size boat - large enough to be stable and comfortable, small enough to enter caves. Great crew!
