Reviews for Makana Charters

Great crew and a wonderful boat! We had time to see the coast and snorkel (water so clear you could clearly see the fish and turtles in the water from the boat!). Saw pods of dolphins close up, whales in the distance.. Magical day! The sandwiches were tasty and just enough when you consider you're riding on a bumpy ocean! Highly recommend!

Best part of my entire trip to Kauai. The views of the coastline are stunning and we got to see dolphins, whales, and turtles. Boat ride was super fun and Sean and Lionel were amazing!! Best two guys to do the tour, they kept it very fun and make you feel very safe too.

Fantastic day! Crew made it extra special. Big enough boat to be comfortable (with a toilet), but small enough to get into the caves! A+.

The tour was great and so was the crew. They were very helpful when I get seasick. Definitely take motion sickness medication but the view is worth it.

Amazing day on the water. Captain Mike and the crew were engaging, knowledgeable and funny. Captain Mike really knows his boat, excellent skills. Gorgeous views of the Na pali coast! Bonus interaction with spinner dolphins and seeing some humpback whales.

What a spectacular day! This adventure should not be missed. Captain Mike and his Mates Tony and Jasmine gave us an exciting adventure along the Nā Pali Coast. They shared history of the area as well as history of their own families with us. The absolutely beautiful coastline, along with a pod of hundreds of spinner dolphins and numerous waterfalls and sea caves, was awe inspiring. We stopped for lunch in a beautiful cove and many were able to snorkel among the variety of colorful fish. If you want to be wowed by the beauty of Hawaii, this is the adventure to take.

Slightly rough seas but very safe, fun, and saw so many whales! One male used tail to attract his girl, several full breaches, a few turtles, very attentive staff! Will go back!

Hands down...you have to take this charter to see the Napali Coast! The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and the views are second to none. This is a must do activity while in Kauai!

One of the best excursions we have ever been on. It was both exciting and informative. We would go back to Hawaii just to do it again.

Wonderful crew and a nice size boat with comfortable seating and great views for all! Even in rougher water the captain maneuvered the boat very well- Ethan Lillaya, and Shaun were a fun and knowledgeable crew❤️😎they made it even more fun. Fun ride, fantastic scenery, saw whales, snorkeled, peeked into some sea caves and had a good lunch! Pick the Amelia K for the boat and Ethan, Lillaya, and Shaun for the crew and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Shawn and Elijah were the best! So much traditional information and all respect for the Kama aina people! Glad we chose a local company with born and raised mates! We loved the early morning choice. Saw whales, dolphins, sea turtles and snorkeling was so awesome! And when Captain Shawn sings you will appreciate the vibes. Mahalo! Wa’iniginapsana! Chi miigwitch!
