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.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the NaPali Boat Tour offered by Makana Charters and Tours. The crew was terrific and engaging as well as very informative about the area history. The sandwiches were very good and juices, soda and water were plentiful. We were fortunate to have such beautiful morning and calm waters that Captain Makata (hope I spelled correctly) took us on an extra treat further down the coast entering some of the most precious and pristine NaPali sea caves. We went inside this one huge cave, did a 360 inside and shot out the entry point. All in all, the best tour trip during our one week stay in Kaua'i Hawaii.

The captain, Mike, and crew, Connor and Liliana, were very knowledgeable and personable and a wealth of island information. A review can’t do this justice- you need to experience it for yourself! From sea caves to waterfalls, it’s truly an experience of a lifetime! Snorkeling was a lot of fun too. We did snorkel on the summer afternoon excursion. There was some confusion on that at first due to the web site. Come prepared with a bathing suit and towel- I highly recommend snorkeling or swimming- it’s very calm where they stop for that. The seas on the way out and in were big- and in my opinion that made the ride even more fun- they navigated them well! When the captain says it’s ok to stand up front- do it, and feel the wind!!

We had a very good experience with Makana Charter Tours. They gave a lot of information as we went through the 2hr tour before snorkeling for about 30 minutes. The whole tour is about 5hs. My daughter is 12 years old and loved seeing all the fish when we snorkled l. They took us through caves and saw waterfalls along the way. It was magnificent! They provide all snorkeling gear and sandwiches with chips as well as a variety of drinks. You will not be disappointed.

This tour was absolutely amazing!! The views were spectacular, the boat ride was smooth and the tour guides were amazing. The guides were extremely accommodating and friendly. We did 5 main excursions while we were in Hawaii and we enjoyed all of them, but this one was my favorite. I would highly recommend it!!

My family and I set out on a snorkeling trip along the stunning Napali coast, and it was truly unforgettable! We were so amazed by all the natural beauty we saw. Our captain, Rob, and his crew members, Elijah and Lili, made the trip even better. They were so engaging and knowledgeable, which made the boat ride both fun and educational. We never got bored with their expertise and insights. Since it was our first time snorkeling, safety was our top priority. But the crew took great care of us, guiding us through everything. Their professionalism and attention to detail made sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience. Overall, our snorkeling adventure along the Napali coast was incredible. We were so lucky to have such a wonderful crew and got to see the amazing lava tubes, caves, waterfalls, cliffs, and valleys. It was a truly memorable journey that we’ll always treasure. Big shoutout to Rob, Elijah and Lili

Fantastic boat trip! The staff is friendly but not intrusive, and they share interesting facts during the tour. They treated us to stunning views of the Na Pali Coast, entering some caves, showing us dolphins, and we stopped at a nice spot for snorkeling for an hour. We appreciated that freedom was given to those who did not wish to snorkel or simply wanted to swim or dive, to do as they pleased. For lunch, they provided us with a sandwich and a bag of chips each. We had requested two vegetarian sandwiches at the time of booking, and we were accommodated. There are restrooms on the boat. It was a beautiful experience! Recommended!
