Such a fun day! Had the best time with Captain Rob, Leroy, and another man we didn't get the name of. They were all amazing and told great history of the coast. We're looking forward to another tour on our next vacation.

Great experience! They had to cancel our original plan because of weather and they were great about communicating with us and rescheduling.

Had a wonderful time! We were able to snorkel, see turtles and fish, see the coast line, learn about Hawaiian culture and history, and even see 3 whales! Everyone was friendly, hospitable, and the dad jokes were great! 😌

The experience offered was amazingly fun and exciting. Such an adventure on the Na Pali coast in winter. Charter staff and crew were helpful and friendly. Boat was comfortable, lunch was tasty with plenty of drinks. Plenty of bathrooms to go with the drinks. We appreciated the captain took time to see if snorkeling would be possible in the winter ocean, which it was. Last year another charter didn't even try. Great time. Can't recommend enough.

Best crew and boat on the Na Pali Coast. Our family rode with them and it was the best part of our week-long vacation. The boat is very fast and agile, and combined with the skills of Captain Makana, that enabled us to go inside some of the coastal caves and get super up-close with the sea birds and really feel/smell the caves. They also spent a lot of time with a pod of 100+ spinner dolphins. The crew were very friendly, skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly, highly recommend!

Had an awesome experience. The crew was friendly. Initially the captain told we might not be able to snorkel but then midway the captain mentioned that we are going to use a neighborhood tour company's snorkel area. So we got to snorkel during this trip. We couldn't see much fish but it was a fun experience. We took the cruise on 12/12/2025. It was also my birthday. My wife worked with the crew to surprise me and everyone in the boat sang "Happy birthday" to me, felt very greatful. If you are taking the morning tour, we saw a lot of mist and fog mainly because of the turbulent waves crashing the shore, take good camera/phone to click pictures. We saw lots of dolphins up close, and a few whales from a far. There will be lot of mist/sun's glare. Wear sunscreen, take towels if you are snorkeling. Would definitely recommend this experience.

We had an enjoyable experience. Tony and Leroy were very professional and friendly. Tony provided a history of the island and Leroy did a great narration of Na Pali Coast.

They were excellent. They helped me to the restroom due to the waves being big. Explained everything that we were seeing and made sure everyone was comfortable. Had a good time. We will do it again in the summer

Best Hawaiian adventure! We give it a 10 out of 10. The crew was knowledgeable and full of fun! We chased whales, saw dolphins , seals and turtles and got close up in the caves. (The weather prevented entry). The lunch was also great. We highly recommend!

Amazing morning out at sea with Kana, Bri and Elijah! They navigated the swells with ease, took us to see waterfalls & caves, all while sharing stories and history along the way. Such a blast watching pods of dolphins swim under our feet and swimming out in the clearest waters!!

Most excellent Napali coast tour! Captain and crew were amazing. Don't remember all their names but Lionel and Lily we're two of them.

Highly recommended! The local native knowledge and history the tour included was a highlight. Crew went above and beyond to welcome and share stories. The captain took extra care to show sea life as it presented itself.

Uncle Tony and the crew on our charter made our trip to the Nā Pali Coast a once-in-a-lifetime sea adventure. It truly felt like a Hawaiian roller coaster—complete with the song playing in the background! Even though we visited in the winter, when conditions aren’t always ideal, the crew kept us safe, informed, and entertained. We still managed to learn so much, enjoyed snorkeling, and even saw a ton of dolphins. It was an unforgettable experience, and we’re so grateful to the entire crew. We can’t wait to come back during the summer and explore the caves. Highly recommend!

This was one of the best things we did in the island of Kauai! Even after our trip came to an end , me and my partner cherish this experience a lot. We got to see all the beauty of the island of Kauai and the staff were really nice. We learned about the history of Kauai and even got to see whales! If I’m back to Kauai, I will be doing this again with makana charters.
