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!

I was reserved about spending what this cost for 2 people. I would have spent double to go. The experience was AMAZING!!! You’ll never see it again because even if you go again in the future you’ll never see the same thing twice! The crew was beyond exception and did an amazing job at making everyone feel welcome and comfortable!

If we could give more than 5 stars we would! The crew were friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and fun, and the entire experience was exceptional from beginning to end. We were blessed with getting to see dolphins and whales, in addition to the stunning views of the NaPali coast. We are so glad that we made this a priority on our trip to Kauai, and highly recommend it!

We did the Na Pali Coast tour with Makana in mid-February and we would highly recommend. The crew was wonderful from start to finish. Professional but like one big family that loves their land. Make sure to take their advice and tips prior to the tour for potential seasickness and what to expect - they live this and breathe it; they know what they are talking about! We experienced the beauty of Na Pali and incredible wildlife spotting (whales, dolphins, spotted ray, goats, birds, etc.) all in one package deal. Just book them!!! The Amelia K is the perfect boat for these sea conditions, great viewing and bathroom facilities were easy to use!

The Nā Pali Coast tour with Captain Makana was excellent. We saw so much—dolphins, whales, natural sea caves—and the highlight for my daughter was when the captain skillfully drove the boat under a waterfall so she could get soaked. She was thrilled. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable. I did get seasick during the trip, and they were attentive and helped me stay as comfortable as possible the entire time. The views along the Nā Pali coastline are stunning, and the crew shared great insights about the local community and how people live in this remote area. Highly recommend this tour.

We scheduled a Nepali coast dinner cruise and the trip was canceled a few hours prior to anticipated launching. The staff member that texted me and I spoke to stated that they only had 16 people signed up, and that they needed more in order to make it financially possible for them. When I asked why they canceled me so late, they stated that they were trying to find other people to take the tour. We planned our whole week around this tour, and to be canceled so close to the launch time was disheartening. Luckily, Blue Dolphin Charters was able to accommodate us! From what we’ve heard Blue Dolphin is the way to go anyway—so glad that we didn’t go with Makana!

It was a great experience. Captain and crew were simultaneously fun and professionnal. There is a lot to see on this tour. Between Dolphins, whales and caves, the majesty of the cliffs of the Napali coast is amazing. The snorkeling part was definitely a bonus.
