It was a great trip. Captain provided a lot of information and provided time for snorkeling and whale watching. The time spent at the sea cave was lengthy and much time with dolphins. The time on the water was more than enough. I would highly recommend this touring company

Great tour! The Napali Coast was gorgeous and as a bonus we saw whales and dolphins. We felt very safe with this experienced crew. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai!

We had an awesome tour. The Napalli coast is beautiful. The crew made it fun by riding the high waves which was super cool. The visit to the caves was amazing. The sandwich was good. We got to see lots of dolphins. Overall a great tour.

This tour was absolutely spectacular!!! I can’t say enough good things. It was a day I will never forget. The boat was fantastic. If I remember correctly, they had the boat specifically built for them. The captain did an amazing job. There was never a point when I didn’t feel safe. The captain took us into the mouth of caves and managed to keep the boat centered so we could all take pictures while the tide was rolling in. It’s quite clear he has been around boats all his life. He was happy to share all the history of the sites we were seeing. He is very proud of his heritage and enjoys educating others on the rich history of the Nepali coast. The staff on the boat was fantastic. They mingle with us and shared their knowledge. They were funny, approachable, and again truly loved their work. We saw 2 types of dolphins and a double whales tails! Each time we stopped to watch the marine life the captain was great about steering the boat in the best direction for photos. As well as patiently let us observe the beauty.The coastline is absolutely spectacular and truly the only way to see it is from the ocean.The sunset that night was absolutely amazing and the captain positioned the boat for us to all sit and watch the sun go down. What a special day. Thank you for making memories for all of us.

Went on the morning Napali Coast tour on the Na Pali Kai III and it was great! Since we were going in January, I asked for advice regarding which boat tour to book based on our needs. The captain and crew were great and the coastline is stunning! Make sure you jump in the water when you have the opportunity!

Excellent tour! One person in our party said it was the best excursion he has ever been on. Makana, Ethan, and Lillie were driver, and excellent tour guides. We were lucky enough to see 10 or more whale breaches, a sea turtle, and a seal.

We had a wonderful tour with Makuna Charters of the Napali Coast. The captain and his team were professional, knowledgeable and customer service oriented. We saw amazing scenery, dolphins and whales along with the magical ocean and coastline. We highly recommend their tour.

What a cool experience! Unfortunately we did not get to snorkel due to the swells and mother nature, understandably so. We got to see bottle nose dolphins, spinner dolphins, humpback whales, flying fish, birds, etc. The captain and the crew were very accommodating and helpful; knowledgeable, safe, caring, etc. they made the experience the best they could under the circumstances and they did great! 👍🏼 would recommend and can’t wait to go back. Thank you!!!
