GREAT Charter Tour - Highly Recommend! Fantastic experience from beginning to end! Makana, Charlie and Mike made up our crew and they were personable, professional, knowledgeable, had good senses of humor, and were focused on everyone's safety. Not only was the Napali Coast even more beautiful than we imagined, their stories brought the ocean, caves, cliffs, waterfalls and valleys to life. We were lucky enough to cruise with a pod of Spinner Dolphins, see Monk seals in the ocean and even 2 humpbacks! The weather was gorgeous. We could not have asked for more and would highly recommend this charter tour. Bonus that you would be supporting a small, locally-owned family business. Would give 10 stars if we could! Thank you, Amelia K Crew and Makana Charter!

Our talented and knowledgeable crew on the Amelia K—Sean, Elijah, and Liliana—were fabulous. We learned a lot about the history of the coast and the valleys. We did some fun snorkeling and ate a delicious lunch. One of our party wanted to jump into the water, but was worried. So Elijah jumped in with him! Made the day very special for all of us.

Makana, Khanna and Charlie were an amazing crew. The trip exceeded our expectations. We saw stunning views of the Nepali coast, dolphins, whales, turtles, and we got closer than we would’ve imagined into the caves for a late December tour. Mahalo!! Aloha!!

Incredible Nā Pali Coast day with Makana Charters! Dolphins, whales, and an amazing crew who took such great care of everyone—even those battling motion sickness. Swells were around 5 feet, but our experienced captain made it a fantastic ride. Highly recommend 🐬🐋

Cancelled my boat trip with 3 days notice because they decided not to work that day. Would not offer to rebook. This reservation was booked 3 months in advance. Terrible business practices.

Don’t leave Kauai before booking a Na Pali Coast tour with Makana Charters. They have the friendliest captain and crew. In addition to the coastal and cave tour, the captain also prioritized wildlife watching including whales, dolphin pods, sea turtles, and even cliff goats. We also stopped for a refreshing swim. Highly recommend the morning tour. The experience was very accommodating, informative, funny, and overall a fun day. The experience would not have been the same if it were not for such an amazing crew. Don’t miss out!

(Translated by Google) The staff was amazing, the scenery breathtaking, the captain went close to the reefs and the cave which allowed us to have an incredible experience!!! The price was well worth it, I highly recommend it!! (Original) Le personnel était extraordinaire, le paysage à couper le souffle, le capitaine est allé près des récifs et de la grotte ce qui nous a permis de vivre une expérience inouïe!!! Le prix en valait largement la peine je recommande fortement!!

Amazing Nā Pali Coast Experience with Makana Charters! We had an unforgettable time with Makana Charters on their Nā Pali Coast tour in Kauai. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Seeing the dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and pristine coastline was incredible—but the highlight was spotting whales and dolphins along the way! Watching them in their natural habitat made the experience even more magical and memorable. If you’re visiting Kauai and want a top-notch Nā Pali Coast tour with a great crew and a chance to see amazing marine life, I highly recommend Makana Charters. Truly a must-do experience! 🌊🐋🐬

We had an amazing experience doing the Na Pali coast boat tour! Captain Rob and his crew were the best. We got lucky with the weather and calm seas and were able to experience the awesome sea caves and snorkeling as well. Highly recommend doing the morning tour, we saw lots of dolphins and even whales which was the highlight for kids. The tour was very informative with the crew sharing interesting history and stories from Hawaiian culture. Mahalo Makana charters for a truly memorable trip!
