If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely can't miss seeing the stunning NaPali Coast. We offer a one-of-a-kind experience to do just that. As a Native family-run company, we are very fortunate to have been right here at our shop for 200 years, gathering our family's documented history to share about the NaPali Coast. Our Captains and Crew would love to share their very own culture and history with you on our tours. You can choose from one of our four vessels for a more personal and comfortable 4.5 to 5-hour tour. Our vessels are just the right size to explore sea caves with comfort when the weather allows. We can't wait to have you on board!

It was a great experience. Would do it again. The boat having a half-cove red seating area worried me... but in actuality is sufficient and is a bonus; the boat is custom built right for the purpose. I can recommend it.

Our trip to the Na Pali coast of Kauai on the Amelia K was unforgettable! While 5 hours on a catamaran was a bit too long for us, there’s no other way we could have seen that beautiful coastline, sea caves, so many whales, beautiful unspoiled beaches, and more. We got a very close up view of some amazing beauty (including movie film sights) and wonderful stories and narration to bring it all to life. That plus a lunch (sandwich and chips) and beverages the whole trip. If you’re reading this review, please book this trip; you won’t regret it!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We had an epic boat tour on the Amelia K! Makuna was an excellent captain safely guiding the boat through high surf to view the coast along with navigating closely to whales and dolphins. Elijah and Uncle Tony were cheerful and friendly. The crew was very engaging, informative and entertaining. We loved every minute of this tour. We wish our kids were with us to experience our day, which means we will be back to bring them on this tour!

Horrible experience. Booked well in advance for January 30th. Got called late on the 28th saying they were expecting rain and we needed to rebook for the 29th or 31st. Since we had filled the week, booked for the 31st. The morning of the 31st, just as we were getting in the car to go to the tour, they called and said there were only 4 people on the tour and they were cancelling it again (They had to have known days before). Gave me the option of getting on a different tour the morning of the 1st (the day we were going home), or cancelling. Would NEVER book with them again. 2 cancellations within 2 days.

Captain Mike and his Makana crew made the trip worth the money and the while. Not only did they educate us about the marine life, they also shared historical info that made us appreciate the island even more. We have visited Kauai several times and the weather cooperated this time (we took a morning trip). Would recommend it to everyone.

I loved the energy on the boat. The crew members were very friendly, warm, and informative. They were helpful and accommodating to the people who developed seasickness. Awesome views of the mountains, sea caves, and humpbacks. Great tunes especially on the fun high speed ride back to port

We had an unforgettable experience on the Na Pali Coast with Makana Charters aboard the Amelia Kay. Even though the weather was a bit overcast and the seas were somewhat choppy, the captain and crew did a fantastic job of keeping everyone comfortable and safe. Despite the conditions, we still thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our time on the water! The Highlights: • Wildlife: We were treated to so many whale sightings throughout the trip. It was amazing to see so many of them out there! We also had a pod of dolphins swimming right alongside the boat, which was a huge highlight for everyone on board. • The Crew: They were incredibly attentive and kept us informed about the history and geology of the coast as we passed the different valleys. Their knowledge really adds a layer of depth to the stunning scenery. • The Boat: The Amelia Kay felt very reliable and stable, even with the waves being a little rough. Pro Tip: If you're going out when it's overcast, don't worry—the coast is still breathtakingly beautiful, and the wildlife is just as active. Just listen to the crew’s advice on where to sit to stay dry!" Would you like me to help you find the links for TripAdvisor or Google Reviews to post this, or are you all set?

We had an amazing experience with Makana Charters! The crew was helpful, knowledgeable and fun. The Amelia K was comfortable, smooth and well maintained. The NaPali Coast is absolutely breathtaking! We enjoyed hearing about our captain, Mike’s personal experience growing up on the island and the history of the native people. We were able to watch whales and saw a beautiful sunset as we came back into the harbor. I highly recommend choosing Makana Charters for this wonderful excursion.
